Saint Thomas of Cori
He was born into a family of poor shephards.
He is known for his humility and devotion.
Interior prayer, penance, and faithfulness to the Gospel were important to him.
In today’s reading—-Matthew 3:13-17
We hear John the Baptist, tells about the Baptism of Jesus.
This symbolizes His identity as a human.
He is anointed by the Holy Spirit for His work and teachings.
This reminds us of Jesus’s role as the Savior of mankind.
He is obedience to God’s well.
