A Reflection from Marriage Matters (www.twoinoneflesh.org.uk) for the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord

The Baptism of the Lord (Isaiah 42:1-4, 6-7; Acts 10:34-38; Luke 3:15-16, 21-22)

Being what we promised to be

Today’s feast tells us who Jesus really is; it calls us to be what we promised at our wedding – a sign to the world of God’s love for all of us.   At the core of this commitment is the undertaking to trust our spouse with who we really are – feelings, thoughts, ideas; all that makes us who we are today.
