FRIDAY AFTER EPIPHANY

​As we are slowly approaching the end of Christmas season the liturgy, its readings unveil to us the beginning of Jesus’ public ministry. It is a huge jump from the manger to Jesus’ baptism, thirty years in only a couple of days. No worry, we will be analyzing every step of Jesus’ ministry and teaching when we will enter Ordinary Season in the liturgy, the Green Sundays. These days now are preparing us for the Feast of Jesus’ Baptism.
​
Jesus is confronted today by a lepper, an untouchable person. Very soon, Jesus will commit most of his time to touch those outcasts, and to heal something worse than leprosy, the sin. Jesus’s baptism is only a sign of the baptism to come that can wash sin away and restore our lost dignity of God’s children.

If you want you can cure me!
