[bodytext] => The baptism of Jesus we suppose Brings our Christmas cycle to a close In Europe though, it is at Candle Mass, When people all their lights and candles bless T’s when the virgin mother sweet and bright And without spot is being purified, (As child, the final feast astonished me,- I saw for cleansing no necessity). We know, St. John did waver to baptize The Lord, for he could not but recognize One mightier than him, thus ill at ease To baptize one he glimpsed in glory’s sheath He heard the voice- beheld the gentle dove But could not fathom our Father’s love; The skies did open and the heavens smiled In promise: - you are too my cherished child.
