Baptism comes from the Jewish tradition. For the jewish people, the heart was the centre of all the emotions...The prayer intends that the new child will never become trapped, caught or entangled in false inner networks of negativity, resentment, or destruction towards itself. The blessings also intend that the child will have a fluency of feeling in its life, that its feeling may flow freely and carry its soul out to the world and gather from the world delight and peace. - John O'Donohue, Spiritual Wisdom from the Celtic World Affirmation: I gather delight and peace from the world and from my children I am positive, forgiving and constructive especially regarding my children
