Brothers and sisters, in the baptism of Jesus, the Spirit of God descends again upon the people; with Jesus, an infinite horizon is opened to us. God is with us. Let us pray.
We want to be mediation of Jesus’ love
• That the Church be proclamation of God with us throughout the year, being Good News in the peripheries of our world.
We want to be mediation of Jesus’ love
• That all of us allow God to be born in our lives, sharing what we are and have with that Jesus in the flesh who are the disinherited of our land.
We want to be mediation of Jesus’ love
• That our parish and religious communities be an open heart for those seeking comfort or identity in their journey; encouraging daily life with the Spirit that animated Jesus.
We want to be mediation of Jesus’ love
• That the newly baptized throughout this year discover their life as a calling and vocation; they wonder what is the ultimate reason for their daily living and live with meaning and hope.
We want to be mediation of Jesus’ love
• Having experienced the knowledge of being loved freely by God, let us be a mediation of that same love for our brothers and sisters, especially for those who have not received a word or gesture of love in their lives.
We want to be a mediation of Jesus’ love.
In this Sunday that we celebrate the baptism of Jesus, let us not forget that the meaning, hope, and our entire life as believers is born and sustained in our unwavering certainty of knowing that we are loved first.
