READING 1: Isaiah 42:1-4,6-7 RESP: Psalm 28(29):1-4,9-10 READING 2: Acts 10:34-38 GOSPEL: Matthew 3:13-17 Feast of the Baptism of the Lord Today, the Church brings the Christmas season to a solemn and meaningful close as we celebrate the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord. This feast stands as a bridge between the joy of Christ’s birth and the beginning of His public ministry. It reveals who Jesus truly is and what His mission is for the world. In the liturgy of the Word, we are invited to contemplate the manifestation of Jesus as the beloved Son of the Father and the one anointed by the Holy Spirit. At the Jordan River, Christ humbly enters the waters, not because He needs repentance, but to fully identify Himself with humanity and to sanctify the waters of baptism. The voice of the Father and the descent of the Spirit make clear that Jesus is the chosen Servant who brings justice, healing, and freedom to all. This celebration also turns our attention to our own baptism. As Christ is revealed and commissioned, so are we reminded that baptism marks the beginning of our Christian mission. We are called to live as children of God, filled with the Spirit, and sent to witness to God’s love in the world. As we listen to the Word today, the Church invites us to renew our awareness of our identity in Christ, to rejoice in God’s saving plan, and to prepare our hearts to follow Jesus more closely as He begins His journey toward the Cross and Resurrection. ************** Reflection: My dear friends in Christ, today we contemplate the Baptism of the Lord, a moment that reveals who Jesus truly is and who we are called to be. When Jesus steps into the waters of the Jordan, He does not do so because He needs purification, but to stand in solidarity with us. In humility, He enters our human condition and opens for us the way to new life. The voice of the Father and the descent of the Spirit remind us that Jesus is the Beloved Son. At the same time, this moment points to our own baptism. Through water and the Holy Spirit, we too have been claimed as God’s children, loved and sent on a mission. This feast invites us to remember that baptism is not just a past event, but a living call. Each day, we are invited to live as beloved sons and daughters, reflecting Christ’s humility, obedience, and love in our daily lives. May we renew our commitment to live out our baptism faithfully, allowing the Spirit to guide our steps and shape our hearts. Amen. Copyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.
