Jesus –
You came to be baptized. You came to us. You came up from the water.
The heavens open, the Spirit descends, a voice speaks.
This is my Son, the Beloved, with whom I am well pleased.
Beloved –
You came, You come, You will come again. May Your baptism be present to us in all its glorious fullness.
Amen.
(The Baptism of the Lord is celebrated on Sunday, January 8.)
