Day 61 The First Three Effects of Baptism

In this episode we begin our study of the six effects of Baptism: The Remission of all sin, the remission of all punishment due to sin, and the grace of regeneration. The Catechism explains why even though sin and its punishment is remitted by Baptism, it does not free us from all miseries of this life. IN addition to reading the Catechism we also take a look at the first three articles of Question 69 in the third part of the Summa Theologica in which St Thomas treats of these first three effects of Baptism. (ST. IIIa Q. 69 a.1-a.3)
