The Baptism of the Lord

Isaiah 40:1-5.9-11; Ps 104:1b--4.24-25.27-30; Titus 2:11-14.3:4-7; Luke 3:15-16.21-22

Here is your God

The Lord’s baptism is yet another symbol of God’s oneness with us in Christ. We are consoled that God in Christ became one with us so that we become ‘at-one’ with God. God’s favour rests on us; God loves us infinitely in Christ. His love encourages us to renew the promises made on our behalf at our baptism.
May we renounce whatever in our lives does not bring us closer to God.
