Today I freely acknowledge my commitment to Christ, through my baptismal vows which I renew as a sign and pledge of my Christian faith. I therefore, reject Satan and all his works and empty promises. I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son our Lord, who was born of the Virgin Mary, was crucified, died and was buried, rose for the dead, and is now seated at the right hand of the Father. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. This is my faith. This is the faith of the Church. I am proud to profess it, in Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen.

All powerful and merciful God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who freed me from sin and spiritual death, and gave me the new life of grace through water and the Holy Spirit, I renew my baptismal vows and rededicate my life to your loving protection so that, day by day, I may grow in your knowledge, love and service, through Christ our Lord. Amen.
