One minute Reflection – 13 January – The Feast of the Baptism of the Lord, Gospel:  Luke 3:15-22 and Memorial of St Hilary of Poitiers (315-368) Father & Doctor of the Church

“…when Jesus also had been baptised and was praying, the heaven was opened and the Holy Spirit descended upon him in bodily form, as a dove and a voice came from heaven, “Thou art my beloved Son with thee I am well pleased.”…Luke 3:21-22

REFLECTION – “Jesus rises from the waters;  the world rises with Him.   The heavens like Paradise with its flaming sword, closed by Adam for himself and his descendants, are rent open.   The Spirit comes to Him as to an equal, bearing witness to His Godhead.  A voice bears witness to Him from heaven, His place of origin.   The Spirit descends in bodily form like the dove that so long ago announced the ending of the flood and so gives honour to the body that is one with God. Today, let us do honour to Christ’s baptism and celebrate this feast in holiness.   Be cleansed entirely and continue to be cleansed.   Nothing gives such pleasure to God as the conversion and salvation of men, for whom His every word and every revelation exist. He wants you to become a living force for all mankind, lights shining in the world.   You are to be radiant lights as you stand beside Christ, the great light, bathed in the glory of Him who is the light of heaven.   You are to enjoy, more and more, the pure and dazzling light of the Trinity, as now you have received—though not in its fullness—a ray of its splendour, proceeding from the one God, in Christ Jesus our Lord, to whom be glory and power for ever and ever. Amen. “…St Gregory Nazianzen (330-390) – Father & Doctor of the Church (An excerpt from Oration 39: On Holy Light)

PRAYER – Father, keep us from vain strife of words. Grant to us constant profession of the Truth! Preserve us in a true and undefiled faith so that we may hold fast to that which we professed when we were baptised in the Name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, that we may have You for our Father, that we may abide in Your Son and in the fellowship of the Holy Spirit. Through Jesus Christ, Our Lord. Amen…St Hilary of Poitiers

Our Morning Offering – 26 January

To the Most Holy Trinity

by Blessed James Alberione (Founder of the Pauline Family)

Divine Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, present and active in the Church and in the depths of my soul, I adore You, I thank You, I love You! And through the hands of Mary most holy, my Mother, I offer, give and consecrate myself entirely to You for life and for eternity. To you, Heavenly Father, I offer, give and consecrate myself as Your son/daughter. To you, Jesus Master, I offer, give and consecrate myself as Your brother/sister and disciple. To you, Holy Spirit, I offer, give and consecrate myself as “a living temple” to be consecrated and sanctified. Mary, Mother of the Church and my Mother, who dwells in the presence of the Blessed Trinity, teach me to live, through the liturgy and the sacraments, in ever more intimate union with the three divine Persons, so that my whole life may be a “glory to the Father, to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.” Amen.
