The Lord was baptized . . . to cleanse waters, so that those waters . . . might have the power of baptism.
—Saint Ambrose of Milan

Service which is rendered without joy helps neither the servant nor the served. But all other pleasures and possessions pale into nothingness before service which is rendered in a spirit of joy.
–Mahatma Gandhi

I will tell of the decree of the Lord: He said to me, "You are my son; today I have begotten you. Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage . . . ."

The forms and tasks of life are many but holiness is one--that sanctity which is cultivated by all who act under God's Spirit and, obeying the Father's voice and adoring God the Father in spirit and in truth, follow Christ, poor, humble, and cross-bearing, that they may deserve to be partakers of his glory.

The Lord was baptized . . . to cleanse waters, so that those waters . . . might have the power of baptism.

The essential thing is always to begin again, despite everything and against everything, and never to be discouraged.
