BAPTISM OF THE LORD (Readings)
This is my Son, the Beloved … (Mt 3: 17)
Two small children, one of them an adopted one, were arguing with one another. The adopted one had the last say: “You were born of mother's womb. I was born in her heart.” Through Baptism we are made into the children of God, the adopted children of God, born of God's heart. Baptism is a gift and a task. Given freely but for a commission. And what would that mission be? The Acts specify that: '… doing good...'
Bound by love; sustained by charity.
