About this listen
In this sermon, Mother Paige reflects on the significance of the Baptism of Jesus and its implications for us. On the feast of the Baptism of our Lord, she discusses Jesus' baptism by John the Baptist and why, despite being sinless, Jesus submitted to a baptism of repentance. This act is presented as a model for vulnerability, surrender, and alignment with God. Mother Paige encourages us to see our own baptism as a commissioning to be God's presence in the world, especially during challenging times. She calls us to be brave and to show up in the world as God's people, serving in various ways from providing shelter to the homeless to supporting those navigating immigration court. The sermon emphasizes the power of God's presence with us, even when it feels more disruptive than graceful, and calls for embracing our role as bearers of God's love.
