After Jesus was baptized, he came up from the water and behold, the heavens were opened (for him), and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove (and) coming upon him. And a voice came from the heavens, saying, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased."

Renewing Baptism
Whenever a group of people gather for a public event, it is usual for them to identify themselves in some way. Uniforms, team jackets or color-coded name tags announce to friend and stranger alike common interests or origins. At Sunday Eucharist we remind ourselves of our kinship with one another and with Christ through baptism in the rite of blessing and sprinkling of holy water. This rite, familiar to some as the asperges from the pre-Vatican II liturgy (from the text that was chanted), calls to mind our union with the death and resurrection of Jesus. The revised ritual reminds us that the sprinkling rite is appropriate at any Sunday liturgy, for it expresses the paschal character of Sunday. It is particularly appropriate during the Easter season and on feasts in which baptismal images are highlighted.
After the sign of the cross and the greeting, the blessing and sprinkling with holy water is actually the first option, and the penitential rite is the second. The rite of sprinkling is simple: The presider invites the assembly to pray silently, then blesses the water. In some places, salt, a symbol of strength and flavor and effectiveness, among other things, is added. Then the assembly is blessed with the water. The priest and other ministers may walk through the assembly generously sprinkling the people, or people may come forward in a procession and sign themselves with the water. In either case, an abundant use of water signifies God's overflowing love and mercy. As in the sacrament of baptism itself, many levels of meaning come into play: Water signifies cleansing, protection from evil, newness of life, forgiveness of sin and God's saving deeds.
After the sprinkling rite and opening prayer, the liturgy of the word begins. Immediately we do what baptized people are called to do. We listen to God's word, offer prayers for the needs of all, give thanks and praise and share in the body and blood of our Lord. Conscious of our shared baptismal heritage, we are sent forth to announce the good news which we ourselves have seen and heard.
