Dear Community,

This Sunday, we celebrate the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord. By stepping into the waters of the Jordan, Jesus identified Himself with us—our struggles, hopes, and humanity. Though He was without sin, His baptism was a profound sign of solidarity.

As He rose from the water, the voice of the Father declared, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased” (Mt 3:17), revealing the deep love that unites the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

This feast invites us to reflect on our own baptism. Through this sacrament, we are united with Christ and sent forth as His disciples, called to bring God’s love to the world.

Baptism is not merely a past event; it is a living vocation that calls us to be a light for others, to work for justice, peace, and the dignity of all people.

I encourage each of you to renew your baptismal commitment with gratitude, remembering that we are anointed as priests, prophets, and kings. Let us follow Jesus’ example— living with humility, serving others, and seeking to do God’s will.

May God bless you all!

Father Julio
