For 8 January 2024, The Baptism of the Lord, based on Mark 1:7–11
This is what John the Baptist proclaimed, ‘The one who is more powerful than I is coming after me; I am not worthy to stoop down and untie the thong of his sandals. I have baptized you with water; but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.’
In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. And just as he was coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens torn apart and the Spirit descending like a dove on him. And a voice came from heaven, ‘You are my Son, the Beloved; with you I am well pleased.’

Dear Fr. Nick,
So grateful for your message to keep developing an open and listening heart and mind to the Spirit and our neighbor as Jesus did on earth and still does now in His Resurrected Life with us. One day we will hear God say to us: “Come to Me, my beloved daughter and son and I will give you rest” eternal rest in Me.
