When you O Lord,were baptized in the Jordan, the worship of the Trinity was made manifest.Through baptism we all enter into an awareness of this great mystery that God is three, and yet one.How to pray with icons. By Miroslaw Tataryn

As the Holy Spirit descended on Jesus at His baptism, so He descends on us at our baptism and inspires us to a loving union with God, and transforms us with His supernatural life. We become new creations. We are adopted as sons or daughters of our HeavenlyFather. We too become heirs. “Live in Love”
