About this episode

Fr. Mark-Mary discusses St. Gregory of Nazianzus's teachings on Christ's baptism and the significance of our baptism into his mystical body.

St. Gregory of Nazianzus offers us a reading on Christ’s baptism, full of scriptural references to the Old Testament and the Trinity. Fr. Mark-Mary provides us with historical information on St. Gregory’s teachings on the Trinity, and a meditation on the person of Jesus and our baptism into his mystical body as the means of salvation. Today’s focus is the mystery of the Baptism of Jesus and we will be praying one decade of the Rosary. For the complete prayer plan, visit https://ascensionpress.com/riy .
