Today, we celebrate the feast of the Baptism of the Lore, which signifies the beginning of Jesus's public life. This was the beginning of Jesus's Messianic mission to preach salvation. John the Baptist, the catalyst for this mission, acknowledged his role in the life of the Messiah by making way for the coming of the one who is sent to save His people.
Jesus's baptism in the river Jordan invites us to examine our commitment to fulfill our mission to become heralds of the good news brought about by Jesus's passion, death and resurrection. Let us be mindful today of how we respond daily to the challenge of our Christian faith to love God and our neighbor.
