The Baptism of the Lord

 

 

A16849E1-E153-4600-9402-941E2CB77F30I baptise you with water.
But someone is coming , someone who is more powerful.
And this was firewater
Something all powerful .

Do we remember the date of our own baptism.
What a pity that we’ve forgotten it.
This holy chrism.
A lamp for us lit.

But why did he need to be baptised.
He who need bow to no one .
But was content to be despised.
He did it for everyone .

We may not remember .
But it will help us be tender .

……..

Our own baptism
Lost in our own memory
But so important

See Luke 3 : 15-16,21-22
