Sunday 9 January 2022 – Baptism of the Lord

From the Gospel according to Luke (3,15-16.21-22)

At that time, since the people were waiting and everyone, regarding John, was wondering in their hearts if he was not the Christ, John answered everyone saying: «I baptize you with water; but he comes who is stronger than me, whose sandal laces I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire ».
And behold, while all the people were being baptized and Jesus, having also received baptism, was praying, heaven opened and the Holy Spirit descended upon him in bodily form, like a dove, and a voice came from heaven: ” You are my beloved Son: in you I have placed my satisfaction ».
