THE GOSPEL
Matthew 3:13-17And a voice came from the heavens saying,
“This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”
Jesus,
you are baptized,
and
the very heavens
are opened.
We see the holy dove
and hear the
Father’s
voice
on
high.
Let us come
up from the water too,
into a new life of
your Spirit
and of your
love.
And take
the grace of our
Baptism to everyone
on earth.
THE FIRST READING
Isaiah 42:1-4, 6-7
He shall bring forth justice to the nations
Lord,
give light.
Give it for all nations.
Grasp everyone by the hand.
Lead the prisoners out from their jail cells,
and out of the darkness those whose eyes grow dim.
THE SECOND READING
Acts 10:34-38
In truth, I see that God shows no partiality.
God.
your love knows no limits.
You send Jesus for all times and for all people.
Our desire is to help spread
this Good News
in our own
time.
