The gathering of the People of God begins with Baptism; a Church must have a place for the Celebration of Baptism (baptistry) and for fostering remembrance of the Baptismal Promises (holy Water font). The renewal of the baptismal life Requires Penance. A church, then, must lend itself to the Expression of repentance and the reception of Forgiveness, which requires an appropriate place to receive penitents. A church must also be a space that invites us to the recollection and silent Prayer that extend and internalize the great Prayer of the Eucharist.
