The Baptism of the Lord 1/10/21 – Fr. Carlson homily

Today we celebrate the Baptism of the Lord. (Check out Father Carlson's bulletin article this week for more information about the Baptismal Font and its significance. http://www.stjohns-excelsior.org/Portals/0/1_10_21.pdf).

We hear the words from Mark 1:11 “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.” This message is for us as well! By our baptism, we are children of God, made clean of original sin.

To end, let us pray today for our nation and also for ourselves, that we can be a light to the darkness.
