The Baptism of the Lord

To access three doctrinal homily outlines for the Baptism of the Lord, please click on the links below.

• Isaiah prophesied Christ and acts of contrition
• Christ’s kenosis or self-emptying
• The heart of the Blessed Trinity

With my high school freshmen, two things I want them to remember about Christ’s baptism are that Our Lord wished to identify himself with sinful humanity (though he was himself sinless) and that it is a manifestation of the Blessed Trinity.
