The Baptism of the Lord
St. Margaret Mary’s Catholic Church Blog
After Jesus was baptized, he came up from the water and behold, the heavens were opened for him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming upon him. ~ Matthew 3:16
Después de ser bautizado, Jesús salió del agua y he aquí, los cielos se abrieron para él, y vio al Espíritu de Dios que descendía como paloma y venía sobre él.
~ Mateo 3:16
