From the River to the Mountain: It Begins with Baptism

First Reading: Isaiah 49:1-6. Through the pen of the prophet Isaiah, the Messiah himself speaks of the work he would do when he was anointed at his baptism.

Second Reading: Romans 6:1-11. St Paul connects our baptism to Christ.

Gospel: Mark 1:4-11. Jesus’ public ministry begins with the anointing he received in his baptism.

Sermon: Romans 6:1-11. Consider Your Baptized Self: Dead to Sin; Alive to God.

Because of our union with Jesus’ death and resurrection, sin has no place in our life. We are forgiven of every sin an no longer desire to live in it any longer. We have a new life that is freed to serve God with Christ at our side.
