PRIMA LETTURA (Is 42,1-4.6-7)
Ecco il mio servo di cui mi compiaccio.
Dal libro del profeta Isaìa
Così dice il Signore:
«Ecco il mio servo che io sostengo,
il mio eletto di cui mi compiaccio.
Ho posto il mio spirito su di lui;
egli porterà il diritto alle nazioni.
Non griderà né alzerà il tono,
non farà udire in piazza la sua voce,
non spezzerà una canna incrinata,
non spegnerà uno stoppino dalla fiamma smorta;
proclamerà il diritto con verità.
Non verrà meno e non si abbatterà,
finché non avrà stabilito il diritto sulla terra,
e le isole attendono il suo insegnamento.
Io, il Signore, ti ho chiamato per la giustizia
e ti ho preso per mano;
ti ho formato e ti ho stabilito
come alleanza del popolo
e luce delle nazioni,
perché tu apra gli occhi ai ciechi
e faccia uscire dal carcere i prigionieri,
dalla reclusione coloro che abitano nelle tenebre».
Parola di Dio
SALMO RESPONSORIALE (Sal 28)
Rit: Il Signore benedirà il suo popolo con la pace.
Date al Signore, figli di Dio,
date al Signore gloria e potenza.
Date al Signore la gloria del suo nome,
prostratevi al Signore nel suo atrio santo.
La voce del Signore è sopra le acque,
il Signore sulle grandi acque.
La voce del Signore è forza,
la voce del Signore è potenza.
Tuona il Dio della gloria,
nel suo tempio tutti dicono: «Gloria!».
Il Signore sits on the ocean of the sky,
the Lord sitteth King forever.
SECOND READING (Acts 10.34-38)
God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit. The Acts of the Apostles
In those days, Peter opened his mouth and said: "In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality, but welcomes anyone who fears him and what is right, whatever nationality.
This is the message he sent to the children of Israel, proclaiming peace through Jesus Christ is Lord of all these.
You know what happened throughout Judea, beginning from Galilee after the baptism which John preached; ie how God anointed with the Holy Spirit and power of Jesus of Nazareth, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him. "
Word of God Gospel Acclamation (Mark 9.9)
Alleluia, alleluia.
the heavens opened and the voice of the Father said
"This is my Son, the Beloved: listen to him."
Alleluia.
GOSPEL (Mt 3:13-17)
newly baptized, Jesus saw the Spirit of God coming upon him.
+ Gospel according to Matthew
At that time, Jesus was from Galilee to Jordan unto John to be baptized by him. But John
tried to dissuade him, saying: "It's me that I need to be baptized by you, and you come to me?". But Jesus answered him, "Leave it for now, why it makes sense that we fulfill all righteousness." So he let him do.
soon baptized, Jesus left the water: and lo, the heavens were opened for him and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming upon him. And a voice from heaven saying, "This is my Son, the Beloved: in him I am well pleased." Word of the Lord

giving thanks always and everywhere
to you, Lord, Holy Father, Almighty and eternal God.
In Christ's baptism in the Jordan
miraculous signs you have worked to reveal the mystery of the new bath:
from the sky did you hear your voice, because the world
believe that your Word was among us;
with the Spirit that rested upon him as a dove
you have dedicated your servant
with priestly anointing, prophetic and royal
because people recognize him as the Messiah,
sent to bring good tidings to the poor.
And we, together with the powers of the heavens,
incessant voice proclaim your praise: Holy ...

Comment
Jesus asks John to baptize him, but does not need any of that baptism of repentance, because from the beginning, everything is realized and because it manifests the Holy Trinity that he came to reveal. John called the people to prepare for the imminent coming the Messiah. He is allowed to contemplate what to aspire each person who prays and contemplates that John receives and accepts the mystery of God, that of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. John sees the Son, the eternal Word of God, and already indicates how the Savior. He hears the Father, that no one can see, witness and certify that this is really his Son (John 5.36-37). Then receives the Spirit that rests on the water surface, the mother of all life (Genesis 1:2). The Spirit came upon Mary, conceived in her life, human and divine (Luke 1:35). It is the S! Pirito has come on a day apostles to fertilize the land and give eternal life (Acts 2.4). And although I had another baptism, otherwise effective (Mark 10:39), we too have been baptized in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit "(Matt. 28:19). And, according to the promise, the Holy Trinity and Divine puts us in his home (John 14:23). It transforms our lives, drawing us to God and entrusting him with the force of attraction of the resurrection.
