Fr. Seraphim shares an exegesis of Scripture read in the baptism service, Romans 6:3-11 and Matthew 28:16-20: be dead to the things that are dead, and alive to the things that are alive. We must understand the purpose of baptism and what we must do after baptism. In the homily given after the baptism of Marie, all scripture read in the service is thoroughly explained, with this command always in mind: Be dead to the things that are dead, and alive to the things that are alive.
