Our Liturgical Year
Great amazement filled all on earth and the angel hosts on high when the Lord, who is clean and pure, was baptized, though free from sin. Jordan’s waters he has blessed for the pardon of our sins. Through Baptism we are cleansed, that we may be born again as the children of our God.
