THE BAPTISM OF OUR
LORD marks the
beginning of His public ministry.
Having received the Holy Spirit He is ready to preach His Good News. Keeping the memory of Our Lords Baptism can help
us think of ours and the power we received from God to be His presence in the
world. The sense of that power unfolds for us as we grow up and come to lead
our Catholic way of life come to own this Catholic life, let it become the
light by which we live.
