Feast of the Baptism of the Lord

Readings of the Day


James J. Tissot, The Baptism of Jesus (1886-96), watercolor.


After Jesus was baptized,
he came up from the water and behold,
the heavens were opened for him,
and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove
Matthew 3:and coming upon him.
And a voice came from the heavens, saying,
“This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”

 Matthew 3:16-17
