Feast of the Baptism of the Lord
Reading and Reflection
Every day we have opportunities to become more and
more baptized into the life and death of Jesus. As we serve
others, as we care for the environment, as we study the Word and apply
it to our lives, along with every activity we participate in, we may
bring Christ's life to the world. We were baptized with the
Spirit who is with us, at our side, as Isaiah prophesied. We
are anointed to be priestly people, given the light of God to carry and
protect, and die and rise to new life. And as we continue to
be baptized into Christ, we know God is telling us, "these are my
children with whom I am well pleased."
