January 7, 2024 – BAPTISM OF THE LORD

+ From the Gospel according to Matthew (1, 7 – 11)

At that time, John proclaimed: «The one who is stronger than me comes after me: I am not worthy to bend down to untie the laces of his sandals. I have baptized you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”
And behold, in those days, Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized in the Jordan by John. And immediately, coming out of the water, he saw the heavens torn apart and the Spirit descending towards him like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: “You are my beloved Son: I am well pleased with you.”
