On this last Sunday of the Christmas Season we celebrate the baptism of Jesus. Jesus is identified as the servant described by Isaiah. The servant who comes in gentleness, who opens eyes and hearts and brings light to the world. Jesus is the one who came to serve not be served.
We who are baptized are brought into the life of Jesus and are called to serve others, to do good, to bring healing to our wounded world. What a task! We don’t take on this task alone – we belong to the family of God. We are sisters and brothers in the Lord.
We are blessed!
Do you know the date of your baptism? The names of your godparents? The priest who baptized you?
Take time today to reflect on your own baptism – your calling to be servant and to follow in the footsteps of Jesus. How are you able to carry out your calling?
