The Vicar general of the Diocese of Lodwar Fr. Joseph Ekalimon today said that baptism of the child Jesus reminds the faithfuls of their own baptism. Speaking during his homily, Fr. Ekalimon said that Jesus came to John the baptist to be baptized according to their traditions and challenged the staff to emulate that example when dealing with issues of Tradition.
Fr. Ekalimon also told the staff that Jesus respected and Honored their culture and traditions of that time and called upon all to always treasure their traditions. He added that during Jesus baptism, he wanted to reveal to all the work of John the baptist and to acknowledge it. Fr. Ekalimon said that Jesus was declared the son of God after his baptism and that was connected to him accepting to follow the mis tries of Light. The priest informed the staff that their baptism changes them as it did to Jesus. He asked the staff to advocate for truth and justice and transform others as one family of God and to remember to pray for all who struggle all over the world to evangelize to those who do not know the word of God despite many challenges.
