Earlier this month, we concluded the Christmas season with the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord. This marks the key transition in the life of Jesus from his hidden life of growth and learning within the family to the beginning of his public ministry. This move is characterized by three elements. The first is the affirmation by the Father, proclaiming that Jesus is the “Beloved Son.” This is sealed by the gift of the Spirit, which gives Jesus the power to carry out the work entrusted to him. Then Jesus proceeds to share the gift with others by preaching the Good News, forgiving their sins and healing their afflictions.
