The Gospel for the Third Sunday in Ordinary Time presents the beginning of Jesus’ public ministry. After the arrest of John the Baptist, Jesus withdraws to Galilee and settles in Capernaum, a place described by the prophet Isaiah as a land of darkness. It is precisely there, in an ordinary and often forgotten region, that the light of Christ begins to shine.

The Feast of the Baptism of the Lord marks an important moment in the life of Jesus and in our Christian faith. With this event, Jesus begins His public ministry. He steps out from the hidden life of Nazareth and reveals who He truly is: the beloved Son of the Father, filled with the Holy Spirit, and sent for the salvation of the world.
On January 9, 2026, the faithful of Jesus Nazareno Parish in Dansolihon came together with joy and deep devotion to celebrate the Feast of Señor Jesús Nazareno, one of the most cherished religious celebrations in the community. United in prayer, the devotees honored Jesus Christ, who lovingly carried the Cross for the salvation of all.
On this first day of the year, the Church invites us to begin anew under the loving gaze of Mary, the Holy Mother of God. The Gospel (Luke 2:16–21) tells us that the shepherds “went in haste” to Bethlehem, where they found Mary and Joseph, and the Infant lying in the manger. They were simple people, yet they were the first to witness the glory of God made visible in the child Jesus. And Mary, the Gospel says, “kept all these things, reflecting on them in her heart.”
