The Baptism of the Lord

Reflection

“On coming up out of the water he saw the heavens being torn open and the Spirit, like a dove, descending upon him. And a voice came from the heavens,  “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.” ~ Mark 1:10-11

Prayer

Loving Lord, on coming up out of the waters of baptism, Jesus heard your voice affirming his relationship with you. Open our eyes and our hearts, our minds and our ears, that we might hear your voice speaking to us. Help us to be more attentive to your presence in our lives and more open to your guidance, that we might follow where you lead. In thanksgiving for our relationship with you, we pray. Amen.
