This is the kind of quote that always gets me thinking. It is easy for me to dismiss what I say or do as irrelevant to anyone else, but I know it's not the case, because my own profession of faith means taking on the responsibility to live it out. I sometimes think that if I hadn't been baptised as an infant, it would have been extremely difficult for me to commit to it because of the responsibility. From a different perspective, now I get to renew this commitment for the rest of my life, and learn for the rest of my life to be a daughter of the Church. The words themselves are so beautiful to me that I doubt I can ever live up to them. I'll put a poem by Mary Oliver in the spoiler below to conclude this thought for me; it's a more precise and more personal conclusion than I could write.
