The Feast of the Lord's Baptism

Short Reflection for the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord (C)

Readings: Isaiah 42: 1-4; Acts 10: 34-38; Luke 3: 15-16. 21-22

Selected Passage:  John answered them all, saying, "I am baptizing you with water, but one mightier than I is coming. I am not worthy to loosen the thongs of his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.  His winnowing fan is in his hand to clear his threshing floor and to gather the wheat into his barn, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire." (Luke 3: 16-17)

Meditation: In our lives, we always try to discover the meaning of being baptized by the Holy Spirit and fire.  The key is to be living witnesses to Jesus, the Lord!   With the Holy Spirit in, we are then able to discern in our lives the wheat from the chaff?  Visit: www.badaliyya.blogspot.com
