January 12, 2025 – The Baptism of the Lord

Families and the Gospel   Luke 3:15-16, 21-22  

In today’s gospel Jesus was publicly AFFIRMED by his Father:  “You are my beloved son, with you I am very pleased.”  As parents we can become so focused on misbehaviors we overlook the good behaviors.  Jesus needed AFFIRMATION and so do our children.
