Despite the fact that the rest of the world has already moved on, the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord is what really brings the Christmas season to a close! And Jesus’ Baptism should remind each one of us that we, too, belong to God – that we are chosen and beloved. It should remind us that every baptized person has the Spirit of God dwelling within us… even if we don’t always act that way! So, let’s change how we act! Let’s strive to be righteous, to be a light to the world, to bless the Lord at all times, and to do good. But how do we manage to do all of that?
