Praying with the Gospel: Baptism
The gospels speak of the temptations of Jesus immediately after his baptism and the Father’s words of encouragement as he comes from the waters. We may see here a concern in the community that gave us the gospels, to prepare those receiving baptism for the temptations that they will certainly face as they live their lives as disciples of the Lord.

Lord let me walk with You
Although my steps are small
Stay beside, hold my hand
And never let me fall.
Amen.
