LITURGY OF THE WORD
Isaiah 42:1–4,6–7 Here is my servant in whom my soul delights.
Acts 10:34–38 God anointed Jesus with the Holy Spirit and power.
Matthew 3:13–17 The Spirit of God descends like a dove.
The Son of God is gradually revealed to the world. Isaiah speaks of the servant of the Lord who brings justice and compassion. Peter preaches to a group of Gentiles, telling them that God was with Jesus as he brought hope and healing to all people. Finally, we hear the Father’s voice from the heavens at Jesus’ baptism: ‘This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.’ May we see him revealed today in the Word, in the Eucharist and in each other.
