CALLED FOR A MISSION
Dear sisters and brothers, the Baptism of Jesus remains as a milestone in the life of Jesus which is faithfully recorded by all the four Gospels. It marked the end of Jesus’ thirty years of hidden life and the beginning of His public life. It is in fact another great Epiphany which highlights the presence of the three Divine Persons. It clearly affirms that Jesus is none other than the Son of God, who came into this world to suffer and die, in order to redeem the whole human race. The feast of the Baptism of the Lord marks the end of the liturgical season of Christmas and the beginning of the ordinary season of the Liturgical Year. Now, let us pause for a while and recall to our minds the baptism we received and the baptismal promises we’ve made and ask the Lord’s pardon for our failure to live in accordance with our baptismal promises.
