It’s the feast of the Baptism of the Lord. Baptism is at the root of our entire spiritual life. St. Paul puts it this way: “Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life” (Rom 6:3-4).
