Homily from the The Baptism of the Lord

The traps of believing we are God's advisors...or His performers.

Baptism changes us. It begins an entirely new life in each one of us. And yet, when we approach the Lord, we can be tempted to act, not as God's adopted children, but as His counselors or his performers.
