The Baptism of the Lord - (F) White

First Reading
Is 60:1-6

Behold my servant with whom I am well pleased.

A reading from the Book of the Prophet Isaiah

Thus says the LORD:


Here is my servant whom I uphold,
my chosen one with whom I am pleased,
upon whom I have put my spirit;
he shall bring forth justice to the nations,
not crying out, not shouting,
not making his voice heard in the street.
A bruised reed he shall not break,
and a smoldering wick he shall not quench,
until he establishes justice on the earth;
the coastlands will wait for his teaching.

I, the LORD, have called you for the victory of justice,


I have grasped you by the hand;
I formed you, and set you
as a covenant of the people,
a light for the nations,
to open the eyes of the blind,
to bring out prisoners from confinement,
and from the dungeon, those who live in darkness.

Responsorial Psalm
Ps 29:1-2, 3-4, 9-10

R. :

℟. (11b) The Lord will bless his people with peace.

Give to the LORD, you sons of God,


give to the LORD glory and praise,
give to the LORD the glory due his name;
adore the LORD in holy attire.
℟. The Lord will bless his people with peace.

The voice of the LORD is over the waters,


the LORD, over vast waters.
The voice of the LORD is mighty;
the voice of the LORD is majestic.

℟. The Lord will bless his people with peace.

The God of glory thunders,


and in his temple all say, “Glory!”
The LORD is enthroned above the flood;
the LORD is enthroned as king forever.

℟. The Lord will bless his people with peace.

Or:

Is 40:1-5, 9-11

The glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all people shall see it.

A reading from the Book of the Prophet Isaiah

Comfort, give comfort to my people,


says your God.
Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and proclaim to her
that her service is at an end,
her guilt is expiated;
Indeed, she has received from the hand of the LORD
double for all her sins.

A voice cries out:


In the desert prepare the way of the LORD!
Make straight in the wasteland a highway for our God!
Every valley shall be filled in,
every mountain and hill shall be made low;
the rugged land shall be made a plain,
the rough country, a broad valley.
Then the glory of the LORD shall be revealed,
and all mankind shall see it together;
for the mouth of the LORD has spoken.
Go up onto a high mountain,
Zion, herald of glad tidings;
Cry out at the top of your voice,
Jerusalem, herald of good news!
Fear not to cry out
and say to the cities of Judah:
Here is your God!
Here comes with power
the Lord GOD,
who rules by his strong arm;
here is his reward with him,
his recompense before him.
Like a shepherd he feeds his flock;
in his arms he gathers the lambs,
carrying them in his bosom,
and leading the ewes with care

Ps 104:1b-2, 3-4, 24-25, 27-28, 29-30

℟. (1) O bless the Lord, my soul!

O LORD, my God, you are great indeed!


you are clothed with majesty and glory,
robed in light as with a cloak.
You spread out the heavens like a tent-cloth

℟. O bless the Lord, my soul!

You have constructed your palace upon the waters.


You make the clouds your chariot;
you travel on the wings of the wind.
You make the winds your messengers,
and flaming fire your ministers.

℟. O bless the Lord, my soul!

How manifold are your works, O LORD!


In wisdom you have wrought them all—
the earth is full of your creatures;
the sea also, great and wide,
in which are schools without number
of living things both small and great.

℟. O bless the Lord, my soul!


They look to you to give them their food in due time.
When you give it to them, they gather it;
when you open your hand, they are filled with good things.

℟. O bless the Lord, my soul!

If you take away their breath, they perish and return to the dust.
When you wend forth your spirit, they are created,
and you renew the face of the earth.

℟. O bless the Lord, my soul!

Second Reading
Acts 10:34-38

God anointed him with the Holy Spirit.

A reading from the Acts of the Apostles

Peter proceeded to speak to those gathered


in the house of Cornelius and said,
“In truth, I see that God shows no partiality.
Rather, in every nation whoever fears him and acts uprightly is acceptable to him.
You know the word that he sent to the Israelites
as he proclaimed peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all,
what has happened all over Judea,
beginning in Galilee after the baptism
that John preached,
how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth
with the Holy Spirit and power.
He went about doing good
and healing all those oppressed by the devil,
for God was with him.

Or:

Ti 2:11-14, 3:4-7

Jesus Christ saved us through the bath of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit.

A reading from the Letter of Saint Paul to Titus

Beloved:
The grace of God has appeared, saving all
and training us to reject godless ways and worldly desires
and to live temperately, justly, and devoutly in this age,
as we await the blessed hope,
the appearance of the glory of the great God
and savior Jesus Christ,
who gave himself for us to deliver us from all lawlessness
and to cleanse for himself a people as his own,
eager to do what is good.

When the kindness and generous love


of God our savior appeared,
not because of any righteous deeds we had done
but because of his mercy,
he saved us through the bath of rebirth
and renewal by the Holy Spirit,
whom he richly poured out on us
through Jesus Christ our savior,
so that we might be justified by his grace
and become heirs in hope of eternal life.

Gospel
Mt 3:13-17

A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew

Jesus came from Galilee


to John at the Jordan
to be baptized by him.
John tried to prevent him, saying,
“I need to be baptized by you,
and yet you are coming to me?”
Jesus said to him in reply,
“Allow it now,
for thus it is fitting for us
to fulfill all righteousness.”
Then he allowed him.
After Jesus was baptized,
he came up from the water and behold,
the heavens were opened for him,
and he saw the Spirit of God
descending like a dove
and coming upon him.
And a voice came from the heavens, saying,
“This is my beloved Son,
with whom I am well pleased.

At the end of the Gospel, the Deacon, or the Priest, acclaims:

The Gospel of the Lord.

All reply:

Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

Then he kisses the book, saying quietly:

Through the words of the Gospel


may our sins be wiped away.

Where it is the practice, if appropriate, the moveable Feasts of the current year may be
proclaimed after the Gospel.

The Creed is said.
