Former striker Ronaldo surprised fans with a post on his private Instagram account. The phenomenon was baptized in the Catholic Church by the famous priest Fábio de Melo. The intimate ceremony took place in a church in São Paulo, also in the presence of the exstriker’s godparents.
“The Christian faith has always been an essential part of my life since I was a child, even though I was not yet baptized. With the sacrament I truly feel regenerated as a child of God in a new, more conscious, deeper way,” he said in part of the religious post on the social network.
Ronaldo will marry model Celina Locks. One of the requirements to be able to get married in the Catholic Church is precisely to have received the first religious sacrament, baptism.
“I renew my commitment to follow the path of good, of free will, with faith in the love of Jesus, in supportive love,” added Ronaldo, who also thanked Father Fábio de Melo, a wellknown Cruzeiro native.
“Thank you very much, Father Fábio de Melo, São José Church, Father Dom Oswaldo and dear godparents Amilcar and Malu,” he concluded.
