Lord Jesus, in the waters of the Jordan You were revealed as Light to the world
Heaven was opened, the father’s voice was heard, and the Holy Spirit descended like a dove, revealing the glory of the Holy Trinity
We stand before the mystery of Your Baptism, not as observers, but as children called to renewal
Immerse our hearts in the waters of Your grace, wash away our weariness, revive what has grown cold, and enlighten what fear and doubt have darkened
You who sanctified the waters by entering them, sanctify our daily lives today
Make us witnesses of your light in a world thirsty for hope, and bearers of Your peace where turmoil abounds
Renew within us the grace of our baptism, that we may walk not by habit, but by calling; not by appearances, but by the light that shone on the day You were revealed to the world
To You be glory, O Christ, with the Father and the Holy Spirit, now and forever
