Today we keep the feast of the baptism of Jesus, a key event in his life. There in the river Jordan, Jesus is confirmed in his mission by the Father. He knows himself as "the beloved Son" and is empowered by the presence of the Holy Spirit.
Baptism is also a key event in each one of our lives.Living baptism is every Christian's vocation. By this sacrament we share in Jesus' mission of bringing everyone to know that they are loved unconditionally by God who wants to be one with them.
