On the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord, Fr. Miguel reflects on why the sinless Christ chose to be baptized and what that moment reveals about our own baptism. Jesus enters the waters not out of need, but in obedience to the Father’s plan—preparing the way for the sacrament that truly makes us children of God.
This homily explores the meaning of baptismal promises, especially the daily call to reject Satan, his empty works, and his empty promises. Fr. Miguel explains why these vows are more than words spoken at Easter or remembered from infancy—they are a lifelong spiritual reality that shapes how we live, choose, and worship.
A powerful reminder that baptism clothes us in Christ, opens the door to the sacraments, protects us spiritually, and claims for us an eternal inheritance as sons and daughters of God.
