Bonsoir. Voici ma réponse en anglais :
The celebrant cordially greets the future baptized, and the parents when it comes to a small child. It expresses the joy of the Church. Then a dialogue is established between the celebrant and the future baptized or the parents
The celebrant then underlines the importance of the process undertaken: to know and love Jesus, to love your neighbor as Christ taught him, and to have a life in accordance with his faith.
The celebrant stresses the importance of godparents who should help to discover Christ and to follow him.
The celebrant then draws a sign of the cross on the forehead of the future baptized person.
The prayers ask God to give the future baptized the strength to fight against evil and to grow in faith.
If it is a child, the celebrant will address the parents, godfather and godmother who will have to surround the child.
Then the celebrant blesses the future baptized so that he will receive good things from God, and from the Church, "Courage, joy and peace in their effort and their journey"
The future baptized, the parents if it is a question of a small child, godfathers, godmothers approach the baptismal water. Then the celebrant immerses or pours water on the head of the baptized three times, "I baptize you in the name of the Father, of the Son, of the Holy Spirit. »The celebrant performs an anointing on the forehead of the baptized with holy chrism (blessed perfumed oil). This anointing signifies the gift of the Holy Spirit and the strength of Christ who "will act in his weakness to fight against evil". She announces the confirmation. The godmother or the godfather dresses the baptized person with the white garment brought to signify that he is a new creation in Christ.
The celebrant entrusts the light to the parents, or the godfather and godmother, and reminds them that they will have to take care of the maintenance. The baptized, enlightened by Christ, will advance in life as a child of light.
Voilà !
Bonne soirée!!
