Become a Living Force for all Mankind

Baptism of Christ

Francesco Albani

1600′s

 

Today, let us do honor to Christ’s baptism and celebrate this feast in holiness.

Be cleansed entirely and continue to be cleansed. 

Nothing gives such pleasure to God as the conversion and salvation of men,

for whom His every word and every revelation exist. 

 

He wants you to become a living force for all mankind,

lights shining in the world. 

You are to be radiant lights as you stand beside Christ, the great light,

bathed in the Glory of Him ~ 

who is the light of Heaven. 

 

—From a Sermon by St Gregory of Nazianzus, bishop
