About this episode

Homily from the Baptism of the Lord.

At the Incarnation, God joined His divinity to humanity...at the Baptism of Jesus, God identifies with our brokenness.

What difference does the Baptism of Jesus make? It means that God doesn't stay away from our sins, but that He takes them upon Himself.

Mass Readings from January 10, 2021: Isaiah 42:1-4, 6-7 Psalms 29:1-4, 9-10Acts 10:34-38

Mark 1:7-11
