Homily: Baptism of the Lord 2015

In yesterday’s Gospel, Jesus is baptized in the Jordan by John and when he comes out of the waters he hears the words that should echo in each of our hearts and souls every day. It is core to our baptisms – core to our life. The problem is that we have forgotten the sounds of those words…and thus can be headed in the wrong direction when it comes to our own spirituality. What are those words? And why do we need to listen for them…but more importantly, why do we need to then repeat them to those in our lives? Check out what I have to say on this.
