Old Lutheran Quote of the Day

At the Baptism of Christ all three persons of the adorable Trinity were present; so they are at our baptisms.  And so in that word of promise, which is united to the element of water, faith receives the grace of the heavenly Father who adopts us, the merit of the blessed Son who cleanses us from sin, and the efficacious working of the Holy Spirit who regenerates us. -- Blessed Johann Gerhard, Sacred Meditation XVII
