My Son The Beloved: The Baptism of Jesus leads us from our celebration of the incarnation of God in the person of Jesus, to reflection upon the ministry among us that lies ahead of him. The Baptist introduces Jesus, who has not yet appeared in the story, as the more powerful one who baptises in the Spirit. At the baptism the heavens open and a voice announces who Jesus is. The divine communicates with the human: Jesus is the beloved Son of God. Someone from God will exercise his messianic ministry among us. We are called to be part of the presence of God among all people that necessarily generates a cross. The divine and the human intersect.

Presented by world-renowned biblical scholar Rev. Professor Francis J. Moloney SDB AM, Audio Divina, is a Lectio-Divina styled reflection on the gospel for The Baptism of the Lord, Year B.
