Baptism of the Lord

+ JMJ

Today is the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord. We remember today the great even of Our Lord coming to St. John Baptist in the River Jordan to be baptized of him.

There are two glorious phrases that ring out today. First of all, “Behold the Lamb of God that takes away the sins of the world.” The other is “This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased.”

Let us meditate on these phrases today, and let us remember our own baptismal promises. May the intercession of the Blessed Virgin help us to live these vows perfectly. Jesus, Mary, Joseph, pray for us!
