The Baptism of Jesus in the Jordan
Spiritual Fruit: Openness to the Holy Spirit
"And when Jesus was baptized, immediately he went up from the water... and a voice from heaven said, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.""
Contemplation on The Baptism of Jesus in the Jordan
Saint John the Baptist baptizes Jesus in the River Jordan, while the Father’s voice and the Holy Spirit manifest the Trinity.
As we recite the ten Hail Marys of this decade, we fix our interior gaze upon this mystery of Christ's life. We ask for the grace to embody its spiritual fruit, Openness to the Holy Spirit, in our daily lives.
Sealing the Decade with the Glory Be
At the close of the ten Hail Marys for this decade, we stand in spirit with the Blessed Mother and offer all our contemplation back to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit with the Glory Be (Gloria Patri), acknowledging that all holiness flows from and returns to the Blessed Trinity.
