Prayer Prompt before reading MT 3:13-17: Come, Holy Spirit, teach me how to pray well, interpret the Scriptures for me so that I may know the Truth about who God the Father is and who God the Son is so that I may know who I am.
“THIS IS MY BELOVED SON, WITH WHOM I AM WELL PLEASED.” MT 3:13-17
Humbly submit your will to God (Thy Will be done) and consecrate yourself to the Sacred Heart of Jesus through Mary and Joseph.
“Allow it now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness”. John the Baptist, the last great prophet ushers Christ into the world and Christ today “fulfills all righteousness”. Jesus submits to the Father’s plan to save the human race. John baptized with water, Jesus Christ baptizes with water and the Spirit. John’s mission is complete and Christ’s mission is beginning.
How awesome it is that we too are a part of this plan. We, too, are called to be baptized with water and the Spirit. We were made for a purpose and have been given a mission. This is why God sent Jesus. This is why Jesus died. We must recognize the beautiful gifts we have received from our Creator and Savior. It is now time to go forth living with purpose, fighting Satan and growing in holiness living out our baptismal promises so that we too can fulfill God’s will for our lives.
At our baptism, God the Father said the same thing He said to Jesus, “This is my beloved son or daughter, in whom I am well pleased”. The more we spend time with God and get to know Him the more and more amazing these words become. When we recognize we are a sinner who needs a Savior, these words continue to become more and more amazing. When we submit our will to God and allow Him to rule our life and ask Him what His dream is for our lives, we begin to have a grateful heart and live in peace and joy!
Today’s challenge: Recognize that you were made with a purpose and for a purpose. Seek out Christ in your heart to find it. Thank your parents for having you baptized and thank God for your ancestors who kept the faith and passed it down to you.
Be a servant, become a saint!
