“Behold the Lamb of God”: A Eucharistic Gaze
The Jordan and the altar thus mirror one another — both are places where heaven opens and the Spirit rests.

Yet the Gospel does not allow us to linger indefinitely at the Jordan
The Eucharist is thus the star of our pilgrimage
An authentic encounter with Christ reorients the entire journey of life.
As Mary once received the Eternal Word at the dawn of salvation history, so we are invited, at the dawn of a new year, to receive Christ anew into our lives.
The Word does not argue with the world’s greatness; He simply lies beneath it.
John leads us instead into the inner life of God, where the Word exists in eternal communion with the Father.
