Today is a celebration of the Baptism of Our Lord. The Old Testament reading is again from Isaiah, the 42nd chapter, and the account of Jesus’ baptism comes from Matthew 3:13-17.
The passage from Isaiah describes a servant (which could be Israel) that has been called to fulfill certain purposes—to bring justice to the nations, and release people from things that bind them. God calls each of us in our baptism. What are the ways you can discern God’s plan for your life?
The gospel of Matthew describes Jesus’ baptism by John the Baptist. Why do you think Jesus was baptized, given his identity as Son of God?
What difference does your baptism make in your day-to-day life?
