The Catholic's pocket prayer-book/Lay Baptism

Lay Baptism.

Take common water, pour it on the face of the child, and while you are pouring it, say the following words:

"I baptise thee in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost."

Note.—Any person, whether man, woman, or child, may baptize an infant in case of danger of death.
