This article concerns two problems. The first is baptismal symbolism, and the second liturgical mystagogy understood as a constant initiation of the faithful into the understanding of the faith. Hence, the first part shows the assumptions of contemporary liturgical mystagogy, which calls for an appropriate approach to the baptism of children on the part of both pastors and parents. The baptismal rites, rich in symbolism, can be helpful in this respect. The second part of the paper provides an explanation of baptismal symbolism. It discusses the importance of baptism, the presence of the community, the questioning of the parents and the godparents, the significance of the church door, the name of the child, the sign of the cross, the procession to the chancel, the exorcism, the blessing of water, the renunciation of evil, the profession of faith, the matter and form of the sacrament, the anointing with chrism, the putting on of a white garment, the giving of a lighted candle and the procession to the altar.

The sermon De ultima quarta feria, attributed to Quodvultdeus, was pronounced in the last phase of the baptismal preparation in Carthage at the end of the 430s. This paper studies the mystagogical method employed in the catechesis on the power of Christ’s blood in baptism and the Eucharist that makes up part of the sermon. First, the baptismal rites in Carthage in 430s are presented. Second, the questions of its dating and the structure of the sermon are discussed. Third, the mystagogical catechesis on the power of Christ’s blood is presented. This analysis demonstrates that Quodvultdeus stands in the Latin tradition of the patchwork usage of Biblical quotes in the course of the mystagogy that allows the audience to enter the history present in the sacred books and understand themselves as part of this history. In addition, this method allows for transferring the message of the centrality of Christ’s redemption that can be attained through the sacraments of baptism and the Eucharist.
