Gospel Reading: 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.”
Lord, I believe that You are the Son of the Eternal Father and the Savior of the World.
I believe that You have brought about a new era of grace and truth and that I am called to follow You wherever You lead.
As we begin this liturgical season of Ordinary Time, may it be a time of extraordinary grace in which I daily heed Your voice.
Amen
