Weekly Meditation

Today we celebrate the Baptism of the Lord.
Our Redeemer desired to be baptized in the Jordan
by John-- let us make our prayers to him:

Christ, through your baptism you revealed to
us the Holy Trinity when the Father called you
his beloved Son and the Holy Spirit came down
upon you-renew the spirit of adoption among
the royal priesthood of the baptized.

Let us pray,

Almighty, eternal God, when the
Spirit descended upon Jesus at his baptism in
the Jordan, you revealed him as your own beloved Son.
Keep us, your children born of water and the Spirit,
faithful to our calling.
