In this week's homily, meditate with us on God's words to His beloved Son Jesus: "You are my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."

Luke 3:15-16, 21-22 The people were filled with expectation, and all were asking in their hearts whether John might be the Christ. John answered them all, saying,  “I am baptizing you with water, but one mightier than I is coming. I am not worthy to loosen the thongs of his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.” After all the people had been baptized  and Jesus also had been baptized and was praying,  heaven was opened and the Holy Spirit descended upon him in bodily form like a dove.  And a voice came from heaven,  “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.”

We need to hear this message of delight because we hear all the other messages, all the other negative messages, the competitive ones on online, how good everyone else is and not how good we are. Let's combat it with a message of love. Let's say to one another “You are my beloved one, with whom I am well pleased, with whom I am delighted.” (Read more…)Here is my homily for the Baptism of the Lord.

Baptism of the Lord Sunday Luke 3:1-6, 21-22  at Common Table: Lessons Underwater w/ Drew Willson

It's very strange to imagine this strange event that inaugurates the public ministry of Christ: The holy and sinless Lord standing in line with sinners to be baptized. It makes sense that sinners like you and me would present themselves to John to confess their sins and be baptized, drowning the sins of their old life in the waters and emerging, resolved to live a new life. Why does Christ present himself to be baptized? Not to receive forgiveness for his own sins but for ours. Not so that he can live a new life but so that we can. Christ takes our own sins to the waters baptism, on our behalf, as if they were his own sins. Now that is radical solidarity!

Fr. Arnold - The Baptism of the Lord by Saint Patrick Parish Homilies

Father Edward Hathaway, the Rector of the Basilica, shares a homily during the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord. It was given in the Basilica on January 12, 2025. 

Baptism Of The Lord | 01.12.2025 | Fr. Zach by Lourdes Denver

In this homily, Fr. Michael reflects on the Baptism of the Lord, exploring its profound significance as adoption into God's family and the beginning of a journey toward glory. Baptism is more than a moment; it is the seed of eternal life, calling us to live lives of virtue, especially charity. Fr. Michael illustrates how the grace of Baptism transforms every aspect of life, using the example of marriage to show how virtue grows as we learn to lay down our lives in tenderness and love.

Fr. Steve asks the why--why was Jesus Baptized in the Jordan...why was He even Baptized to begin with?

Mass Readings for Baptism of the Lord - Sunday January 12, 2025 Reading 1, Isaiah 42:1-4, 6-7 Responsorial Psalm, Psalms 29:1-2, 3-4, 3, 9-10 Reading 2, Acts 10:34-38 Gospel, Luke 3:15-16, 21-22

Today's devotion is written by Jenna Guizar.

Friends of the Rosary, Today, January 12, the Church celebrates the solemnity of the Baptism of the Lord. As we read in the Acts of the Apostles (Acts 10:34-38), “God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power. He went about doing good and healing all those oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.” John baptized people with water, but Christ Jesus baptized them with the Holy Spirit and fire. When Jesus was baptized and praying (Luke 3:15-16, 21-22), "heaven was opened and the Holy Spirit descended upon him bodily like a dove. And a voice came from heaven, “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased." The all-light Son of God, the source of all grace, sought and received John's baptism of repentance to purify and make holy the water by touching it. Since then, the words heard from the Heavens can be applied to any person baptized. The sacrament of Baptism places in our souls the mark of being the privileged children of God.

Do I live out the grace of my baptism?

What does "Christian" mean?

DateJanuary 12, 2025SynopsisWhen God writes "Beloved" on our hearts, it transforms how we see ourselves and each other. Like a child proudly writing their name, like friends recognizing each other's baby pictures, like communities holding space for both joy and sorrow—we're called to live as if we actually believe we're beloved, and to create spaces where others can discover they are too.ReferencesScripture: Luke 3:15–17; 21–22 About The Local ChurchFor more information about The Local Church, visit our website.

The post The Baptism of the Lord appeared first on St. Mary's Catholic Church.

Read OnlineIt happened in those days that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized in the Jordan by John. On coming up out of the water he saw the heavens being torn open and the Spirit, like a dove, descending upon him. And a voice came from the heavens, “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.”  Mark 1:9–11The Feast of the Baptism of the Lord concludes for us the Christmas Season and transitions us into the beginning of Ordinary Time. From a Scriptural point of view, this event in Jesus' life is also a transitional moment from His hidden life in Nazareth to the beginning of His public ministry. As we commemorate this glorious event, it's important to ponder a simple question: Why was Jesus baptized? Recall that John's baptism was one of repentance, an act by which he invited his followers to turn from sin and to turn to God. But Jesus was sinless, so what was the reason for His Baptism?First of all, we see in the quoted passage above that Jesus' true identity was made manifest through His humble act of baptism. “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased,” spoke the voice of the Father in Heaven. Furthermore, we are told that the Spirit descended upon Him in the form of a dove. Thus, Jesus' baptism is in part a public declaration of Who He is. He is the Son of God, a divine Person Who is one with the Father and the Holy Spirit. This public testimony is an “epiphany,” a manifestation of His true identity for all to see as He prepares to begin His public ministry.Second, by His baptism, Jesus' incredible humility is made manifest. He is the Second Person of the Most Holy Trinity, but He allows Himself to become identified with sinners. By sharing in an act that was focused upon repentance, Jesus speaks volumes through His action of baptism. He came to unite Himself with us sinners, to enter our sin and to enter into our death. By entering the water, He symbolically enters into death itself, which is the result of our sin, and rises triumphantly, allowing us to also rise with Him to new life. For this reason, Jesus' baptism was a way of Him “baptizing” the waters, so to speak, so that water itself, from that moment onward, would be endowed with His divine presence and could be communicated to all who are baptized after Him. Therefore, sinful humanity is now able to meet divinity through baptism.Lastly, when we share in this new baptism, through water that has now been sanctified by our divine Lord, we see in Jesus' baptism a revelation of who we become in Him. Just as the Father spoke and declared Him as His Son, and just as the Holy Spirit descended upon Him, so also in our baptism we become the adopted children of the Father and are filled with the Holy Spirit. Thus, Jesus' baptism gives clarity as to whom we become in Christian baptism. Lord, I thank You for Your humble act of baptism by which You opened the Heavens to all who are sinners. May I open my heart to the unfathomable grace of my own baptism each and every day and more fully live with You as a child of the Father, filled with the Holy Spirit.  Jesus, I trust in You.  Source of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2024 My Catholic Life!
