In a world that feels increasingly chaotic, the early Christians faced a similarly violent society by treating baptism as a radical, life-risking conversion. While we often view the sacrament as a forgettable childhood rite, it was originally a transformation that changed the world through sheer radiant joy. We are called today to activate that same baptismal grace, choosing to hand our lives over to Christ so completely that we become a light in the darkness.

Isaiah 42:1-4, 6-7 | Acts 10:34-38 | Matthew 3:13-17
