This Week in the Scripture
Baptism of Our Lord

Readings and Psalm

O God our Father, at the baptism of Jesus you proclaimed him your beloved Son and anointed him with the Holy Spirit. Make all who are baptized into Christ faithful to their calling to be your daughters and sons, and empower us all with your Spirit, through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
Amen.

If you are reading this on-line, the text above in blue will take you to the readings shown provided by Vanderbilt Divinity Library, a division of the Jean and Alexander Heard Library.
In the waters of the Jordan, Jesus is revealed as the beloved Son of God.  Through this great epiphany, Jesus fulfills all righteousness and becomes the servant of God who will bring forth justice and be a light to the nations.  In the waters of baptism we too are washed by the Word, anointed by the Spirit, and named God's beloved children.  Our baptismal mission is to proclaim good news to all who are oppressed or in need of God's healing.

O GOD, look with compassion on the one in seven Americans who face hunger in this country.  Preserve their dignity as they struggle to get enough to eat.  May those looking for jobs find new opportunities to earn a living.  May those who are unable to work be supported and sustained by their communities.  Lord, in your mercy.
