The Baptism of the Lord

Dear Our Lady of the Assumption \u00a0Parish Family,<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Jesus’ baptism in the Jordan River is His\u00a0humble submission to a baptism of death upon the cross.\u00a0Jesus didn’t need baptism\u2014he had no sins. But he chose to enter the water to show us the way to new life. Jesus submitted himself entirely to his Father’s will. Out of love, he consented to this baptism of death for the forgiveness of our sins. The heavens opened for Jesus at the Jordan, and they will open for us, too, when we bow before the Lord with humble hearts.

<\/div>\n
Jesus is ready to renew us in His likeness through the Holy Spirit, and He anoints us for mission as disciples of His kingdom of righteousness, peace, and joy.” \u00a0We are called to be the “light” and salt” of His kingdom and radiate the beauty of His mercy and goodness to those around us. Jesus wants His love and truth to shine through us so that others may find new life and joy in the Holy Spirit.\u00a0He calls each of us to be humble and to trust God completely.\u00a0Ask the Lord Jesus to fill you with His Holy Spirit that you may radiate the joy of the Gospel to those around you.<\/div>\n
\u200b<\/div>\n
Have a peaceful day.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Yours in Christ,<\/div>\n
Father Edward C. Domme<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
