BAPTISM OF THE LORD FEAST

Sunday January 10th, 2021

Gospel: Mark 1: 7-11

7 He preached, saying, “After me comes he who is mightier than I, the thong of whose sandals I am not worthy to stoop down and loosen.

8 I have baptized you with water; but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost.

9 It happened in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan.

10 Immediately coming up from the water, he saw the heavens parting, and the Spirit descending on him like a dove.

11 A voice came out of the sky, “You are my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
