The Gospel reading for January 11, 2026 reveal God's profound plan for salvation, starting with Isaiah's prophecy of a chosen servant, upheld by the Spirit, who will gently bring justice to the nations and be a light to the Gentiles, opening blind eyes and freeing prisoners.

This prophecy is fulfilled in the Gospel of Matthew as Jesus, though sinless, humbly comes to John for baptism "to fulfill all righteousness." At this pivotal moment, the heavens open, the Holy Spirit descends upon Him, and the Father's voice declares, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am pleased." Jesus as the Spirit-anointed servant, healing all those oppressed." Jesus' baptism marks the beginning of His public ministry, a profound act of humility and obedience that inaugurates His work of redemption. Through our own baptism, we too are called to participate in this mission, empowered by the same Holy Spirit.

Peter's revelation challenges us to overcome any prejudices, recognizing that God's saving grace extendsto every person, without distinction. We are called to live out Christ's mission in our daily lives, striving to "do good" and bring healing, spiritual light, and liberating truth to those around us.
