The Baptism Of The Lord Gloria Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to people of good will. We praise you, we bless you, we adore you, we glorify you, we give you thanks for your great glory, Lord God, heavenly King, O God, almighty Father. Lord Jesus Christ, Only Begotten Son, Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father, you take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us; you take away the sins of the world, receive our prayer; you are seated at the right hand of the Father, have mercy on us. For you alone are the Holy One, you alone are the Lord, you alone are the Most High, Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit, in the glory of God the Father. Amen. Collect Almighty ever-living God, who, when Christ had been baptised in the River Jordan and as the Holy Spirit descended upon him, solemnly declared him your beloved Son, grant that your children by adoption, reborn of water and the Holy Spirit, may always be well pleasing to you. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. First Reading (Is42:1-4,6-7) A reading from the Prophet Isaiah Thus says the Lord: Here is my servant whom I uphold, my chosen one in whom my soul delights. I have endowed him with my spirit that he may bring true justice to the nations. He does not cry out or shout aloud, or make his voice heard in the streets. He does not break the crushed reed, or quench the wavering flame. Faithfully he brings true justice; he will neither waver, nor be crushed until true justice is established on earth, for the islands are awaiting his law. I, the Lord, have called you to serve the cause of right; I have taken you by the hand and formed you; I have appointed you as covenant of the people and light of the nations, to open the eyes of the blind, to free captives from prison, and those who live in darkness from the dungeon. The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. Responsorial psalm R: The Lord will bless his people with peace. O give the Lord you sons of God, give the Lord glory and power; give the Lord the glory of his name. Adore the Lord in his holy court (R.) The Lord’s voice resounding on the waters, the Lord on the immensity of waters; the voice of the Lord, full of power, the voice of the Lord, full of splendour. (R.) The God of glory thunders. In his temple they all cry: “Glory!” The Lord sat enthroned over the flood; the Lord sits as king for ever (R.) Second Reading (Ac 10:34-38) A reading from the Acts of the Apostles. Peter addressed Cornelius and his household: “The truth I have now come to realise,” he said “is that God does not have favourites, but that any- body of any nationality who fears God and does what is right is acceptable to him. “It is true, God sent his word to the people of Israel, and it was to them that the good news of peace was brought by Jesus Christ – but Jesus Christ is Lord of all men. You must have heard about the recent happenings in Judaea; about Jesus of Naz- areth and how he began in Galilee, after John had been preaching baptism. God had anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power, and because God was with him, Jesus went about doing good and curing all who had fallen into the power of the devil.” The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. Gospel Acclamation Alleluia, alleluia! The heavens opened and the Father’s voice re- sounded: “This is my Son, the Beloved. Listen to him.” Alleluia! Gospel (Mt 3:13-17) A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew. Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be bap- tised by John. John tried to dissuade him. “It is I who need baptism from you,” he said “and yet you come to me!” But Jesus replied, “Leave it like this for the time being; it is fitting that we should, in this way, do all that righteousness demands.” At this, John gave in to him. As soon as Jesus was baptised he came up from the water, and suddenly the heavens opened and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming down on him. And a voice spoke from heaven, “This is my son, the Beloved; my favour rests on him.” The Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ. Profession of Faith I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven, and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suf- fered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic church. I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come.

Collect
Almighty ever-living God,
who, when Christ had been baptised in the River
Jordan
and as the Holy Spirit descended upon him,
solemnly declared him your beloved Son,
grant that your children by adoption,
reborn of water and the Holy Spirit,
may always be well pleasing to you.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the
Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
Amen.
First Reading (Is42:1-4,6-7)
A reading from the Prophet Isaiah
Thus says the Lord:
Here is my servant whom I uphold,
my chosen one in whom my soul delights.
I have endowed him with my spirit
that he may bring true justice to the nations.
He does not cry out or shout aloud,
or make his voice heard in the streets.
He does not break the crushed reed,
or quench the wavering flame.
Faithfully he brings true justice;
he will neither waver, nor be crushed
until true justice is established on earth,
for the islands are awaiting his law.
I, the Lord, have called you to serve the cause of
right;
I have taken you by the hand and formed you;
I have appointed you as covenant of the people
and light of the nations,
to open the eyes of the blind,
to free captives from prison,
and those who live in darkness from the dungeon.
The word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
Responsorial psalm R: The Lord will bless his people with peace.
O give the Lord you sons of God,
give the Lord glory and power;
give the Lord the glory of his name.
Adore the Lord in his holy court (R.)
The Lord’s voice resounding on the waters,
the Lord on the immensity of waters;
the voice of the Lord, full of power,
the voice of the Lord, full of splendour. (R.)
The God of glory thunders.
In his temple they all cry: “Glory!”
The Lord sat enthroned over the flood;
the Lord sits as king for ever (R.)
Second Reading (Ac 10:34-38)
A reading from the Acts of the Apostles.
Peter addressed Cornelius and his household:
“The truth I have now come to realise,” he said “is
that God does not have favourites, but that any-
body of any nationality who fears God and does
what is right is acceptable to him.
“It is true, God sent his word to the people of Israel,
and it was to them that the good news of peace
was brought by Jesus Christ – but Jesus Christ is
Lord of all men. You must have heard about the
recent happenings in Judaea; about Jesus of Naz-
areth and how he began in Galilee, after John had
been preaching baptism. God had anointed him
with the Holy Spirit and with power, and because
God was with him, Jesus went about doing good
and curing all who had fallen into the power of the
devil.”
The word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
Gospel Acclamation Alleluia, alleluia!
The heavens opened and the Father’s voice re-
sounded:
“This is my Son, the Beloved. Listen to him.”
Alleluia!
Gospel (Mt 3:13-17)
A reading from the holy Gospel according to
Matthew.
Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be bap-
tised by John. John tried to dissuade him. “It is I
who need baptism from you,” he said “and yet you
come to me!” But Jesus replied, “Leave it like this
for the time being; it is fitting that we should, in this
way, do all that righteousness demands.” At this,
John gave in to him.
As soon as Jesus was baptised he came up from
the water, and suddenly the heavens opened and
he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove
and coming down on him. And a voice spoke from
heaven, “This is my son, the Beloved; my favour
rests on him.”
The Gospel of the Lord.
Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
Profession of Faith I believe in one God, the Father Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible
and invisible. I believe in one Lord Jesus
Christ, the only begotten Son of God, born of
the Father before all ages. God from God,
Light from Light, true God from true God,

heaven, and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of
the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake
he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suf-
fered death and was buried, and rose again on
the third day in accordance with the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven and is seated at the
right hand of the Father. He will come again in
glory to judge the living and the dead and his
kingdom will have no end. I believe in the Holy
Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds
from the Father and the Son, who with the
Father and the Son is adored and glorified,
who has spoken through the prophets. I believe
in one, holy, catholic and apostolic church. I
confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of

the dead and the life of the world to come.

of others and lead the churches to grow
in communion. Help us let go our fears,

We ask this in the name of the Just One, Your beloved Son, Jesus Christ.
Amen
