After the passion, death, and resurrection of

Christ, followed the passing on of the

mission to us humans
Go, therefore, and make disciples of all
nations, baptizing them in the
name of the Father, and of the
Son, and of the holy Spirit,
teaching them to observe all that
I have commanded you. And
behold, I am with you always, until the
end of the age.”
Matthew 28:19-20
Then during the Pentecost, the
Apostles and Christ’s other
disciples were given gifts which
helped them become able to pass on
the Word of God to other people
across all nations through the Holy
Spirit.
When the time for Pentecost was fulfilled, they
were all in one place together. And suddenly
there came from the sky a noise like a strong
driving wind, and it filled the entire house in
which they were. Then there appeared to them
tongues as of fire, which parted and came to rest
on each one of them. And They were all
filled with the holy spirit and began to
speak in different tongues, as the spirit
enabled them to proclaim.
Thus, began the mission to pass
on the SACRAMENTS to
everyone who shall believe in
God as our creator and Christ as
our savior.

In emergency situations, ANYONE
can perform the Sacrament as long

the Church does
 What are the
GODPARENTS’
responsibilities?
 GODPARENTS
- Professes faith in God on behalf of
the infant during INFANT
BAPTISM
- Acts as the child’s second parent
 The problem:
- FALSE UNDERSTANDING OF
THE GODPARENTS’
RESPONSIBILITIES
- SEPARATION FROM THE
CHURCH
Takeaway:
Just like how the Apostles
decided to fulfill the mission
given by Christ, we should also
be willing to take on the
responsibility of spreading the
Good News
