The Baptism of the Lord (Feast)
“You are my beloved Son; with
you I am well pleased.”
After the Lord was baptized, the heavens were opened, and the
Spirit descended upon him like a dove, and the voice of the Father
thundered: This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.
(When Jesus comes to be baptized He Leaves the hidden years behind, The years of safety and of peace to bear the sin's of human kind.)
Let us Pray
Almighty ever living God, who when Christ had been baptized in the River Jordon and as the Holy Spirit descended upon him, solemnly declared him your beloved Son, grant that your children by adoption, reborn of water and the Holy Spirit, may always be well pleasing to you. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with your in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
Amen.
