In its more profound meaning, when it is God Himself who baptizes us,
it is the promise of salvation. The meaning of this sculpture is as follows:
THE WORDS WRITTEN in the sun’s circle:
In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti
(Latin for in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit)
I sanctify you with My love. (Chalice)
Sanctification is a Baptism of blood and water (chalice).
We are forgiven and washed of our sins, the sins of others and the sins of the world.
We are baptized in the name of The Son.
I purify you with the flames of My glory (Sun)
Purification is a Baptism of Fire (sun): We are purified like a raindrop so we can be a rainbow,
reflecting all the colors of God. He pours out His self to us.
We are baptized in the name of the Father (YHWH)
I ordain you with My trust (God, The Holy Spirit)
Ordination is Baptism of the Holy Spirit: We are anointed and appointed to serve Him,
entrusted to be the stewards of his world.
We are baptized in the name of the Holy Spirit.
I glorify you at My pleasure
Glorification is a baptism of His grace, as the One God (The Holy Trinity)
WE ARE SAVED.
We return to who God intended us to be in the beginning.
