Homily from the Baptism of the Lord. You've been claimed at the lowest point. The Baptism of the Lord is a mystery.  The mystery of how Christ comes into contact with the water...and it does not change Him; He changes it. This is the pattern from this moment on: Christ comes into contact with us, claims us, and changes us. Mass Readings from January 12, 2025: Isaiah 42:1-4, 6-7 Psalms 29:1-4, 9-10Acts 10:34-38 Luke 3:15-16, 21-22
