You Are My Beloved Child
At Jesus’
baptism, the Father confirmed Jesus God’s beloved son.
By
becoming human, and by his cross and resurrection, Jesus shares this identity
with all humanity. Peter professed this
from the beginning of the Church. When Peter
realized that God had called Cornelius, a gentile, Peter said to Cornelius, his
relatives and friends, “In truth, I see that God shows no partiality. Rather, in every nation whoever fears him and
acts uprightly is acceptable to him” (2nd reading).
God “has
grasped” each of us “by the hand. God “formed”
us and has given us a share in Jesus’ mission.
Like Jesus, each child of God is “a light for the nations, to open the
eyes of the blind, to bring out prisoners from confinement, and from the
dungeon, those who live in darkness” (1st reading)
