First Reading –\u00a0Is\u00a042<\/span><\/h4>\n

Thus says the LORD:
\nHere is my servant whom I uphold,
\nmy chosen one with whom I am pleased,
\nupon whom I have put my spirit;
\nhe shall bring forth justice to the nations,
\nnot crying out, not shouting,
\nnot making his voice heard in the street.
\na bruised reed he shall not break,
\nand a smoldering wick he shall not quench,
\nuntil he establishes justice on the earth;
\nthe coastlands will wait for his teaching.<\/p>\n

I, the LORD, have called you for the victory of justice,
\nI have grasped you by the hand;
\nI formed you, and set you
\nas a covenant of the people,
\na light for the nations,
\nto open the eyes of the blind,
\nto bring out prisoners from confinement,
\nand from the dungeon, those who live in darkness.<\/p>\n

Gospel –\u00a0Mark 1<\/span><\/h4>\n

This is what John the Baptist proclaimed:
\n“One mightier than I is coming after me.
\nI am not worthy to stoop and loosen the thongs of his sandals.
\nI have baptized you with water;
\nhe will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”<\/p>\n

It happened in those days that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee
\nand was baptized in the Jordan by John.
\nOn coming up out of the water he saw the heavens being torn open
\nand the Spirit, like a dove, descending upon him.
\nAnd a voice came from the heavens,
\n“You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.”<\/p>\n

This is the\u00a0Word of the Lord.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
