Dear Friend in the Lord,
“Trinity” – Faith: In today’s Gospel, our faith in the Trinitarian God was revealed at Jesus’ Baptism: God our Father proclaimed, “This is My Beloved Son. My favour rests on Him”. The Holy Spirit then descended on Jesus from heaven like a dove.” Ponder on, “We are so blessed to have such Divine Revelation about God. No other religions have such explicit divine revelations.”
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
Matthew 3:13-17
Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptised by John. John tried to dissuade him, with the words, ‘It is I who need baptism from you, and yet you come to me!’ But Jesus replied, ‘Leave it like this for the time being; it is fitting that we should, in this way, do all that uprightness demands.’ Then John gave in to him.
And when Jesus had been baptised he at once came up from the water, and suddenly the heavens opened and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming down on him. And suddenly there was a voice from heaven, ‘This is my Son, the Beloved; my favour rests on him.’
