12 January 2025 -- Feast of the Baptism of the Lord "C"
Is 40:1...11; Ti 2:11...3:7; Lk 3:15...22
Homily
Of the four Evangelists, Luke is always the one who emphasizes most everything that has to do with prayer. In the account of Jesus' baptism, he is the only one to mention that it was while Jesus was praying, after being baptized by John, that heaven was opened and the Holy Spirit descended upon Him in the form of a dove. And it was through this same opening in heaven that the voice of the Father came, saying: "You are my Son; today I have begotten you ’. Let's try to see what this text teaches us about prayer.
