BAPTISM OF THE LORD

Matthew 3: 13-17 The Son of God is gradually revealed to the world. Isaiah speaks of the servant of the Lord who brings justice and compassion. Peter preaches to a group of Gentiles, telling them that God was with Jesus as he brought hope and healing to all people. Finally, we hear the Father’s voice from the heavens at Jesus’ baptism: “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.” May we see him revealed today in the Word, in the Eu-charist, and in each other.
