It was an elementary catechesis on Baptism. It worked out because that theme was dominant in the Gospel. Also, there were twins to be baptized during the Mass right after the homily. So there was a nice Audio-visual.
I started with the image of Goofy immersed in Jello. If we plunged into jello we'd turn red, end up really sticky, and smell like cherry for a few weeks. When we're plunged into the Holy Spirit in baptism, that never goes away.
I told them that they can baptize in emergency situations. That baptism makes us children of God. That it wipes away original sin. That it makes us part of a priestly people.
