SUNDAY MASS ONLINE : JANUARY 13, 2013 - BAPTISM OF OUR LORD

Isaiah 42: 1 - 4, 6 - 7

1Behold my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen, in whom my soul delights; I have put my Spirit upon him, he will bring forth justice to the nations.2He will not cry or lift up his voice, or make it heard in the street;3a bruised reed he will not break, and a dimly burning wick he will not quench; he will faithfully bring forth justice.4He will not fail or be discouraged till he has established justice in the earth; and the coastlands wait for his law.6"I am the LORD, I have called you in righteousness, I have taken you by the hand and kept you; I have given you as a covenant to the people, a light to the nations,7to open the eyes that are blind, to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon, from the prison those who sit in darkness.Psalms 29: 1 - 4, 3, 9 - 10

1Ascribe to the LORD, O heavenly beings, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.2Ascribe to the LORD the glory of his name; worship the LORD in holy array.3The voice of the LORD is upon the waters; the God of glory thunders, the LORD, upon many waters.4The voice of the LORD is powerful, the voice of the LORD is full of majesty.9The voice of the LORD makes the oaks to whirl, and strips the forests bare; and in his temple all cry, "Glory!"10The LORD sits enthroned over the flood; the LORD sits enthroned as king for ever.

Acts 10: 34 - 38
34And Peter opened his mouth and said: "Truly I perceive that God shows no partiality,
35but in every nation any one who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him.
36You know the word which he sent to Israel, preaching good news of peace by Jesus Christ (he is Lord of all),
37the word which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee after the baptism which John preached:
38how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power; how he went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.
Luke 3: 15 - 16, 21 - 22
15As the people were in expectation, and all men questioned in their hearts concerning John, whether perhaps he were the Christ,
16John answered them all, "I baptize you with water; but he who is mightier than I is coming, the thong of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie; he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.
21Now when all the people were baptized, and when Jesus also had been baptized and was praying, the heaven was opened,
22and the Holy Spirit descended upon him in bodily form, as a dove, and a voice came from heaven, "Thou art my beloved Son; with thee I am well pleased."
