Do you reject Satan?
This Sunday following the Epiphany the Church celebrates the Solemnity of the Baptism of the Lord. It is here we recall in a special way Jesus' baptism in the river Jordan by John the Baptist. In it we are also reminded of a great mystery revealed. God the Father reveals Jesus as his "beloved Son" and the Holy Spirit comes down from heaven in the form of a dove. Here, we reject Satan and all his empty promises.

Peace be with you!
