"For Aquinas, Jesus does not only institute baptism by an act of divine authority, or as a sacramental reality apart from himself. He does something even more strikingly incarnational and trinitarian, and also more personal.

Though not needing to be baptized himself, Christ makes himself the exemplar of baptism for our sake, so that as we receive this sacrament, we might be configured to the Trinitarian pattern of his Incarnation." —Fr. Dominic Legge, O.P.
