TRANSCRIPT
Baptism of Christ (Pietro Perugino, 1482, detail)
The Baptism of Christ
Beginning here we glimpse the Three-in-one;
The river runs, the clouds are torn apart,
The Father speaks, the Spirit and the Son
Reveal to us the single loving heart
That beats behind the being of all things
And calls and keeps and kindles us to light.
The dove descends, the spirit soars and sings,
‘You are beloved, you are my delight!’
In that swift light and life, as water spills
And streams around the Man like quickening rain,
The voice that made the universe reveals
The God in Man who makes it new again.
He calls us too, to step into that river,
To die and rise and live and love forever.
– Rev Malcolm Guite (Chaplain, Girton College, Cambridge) Sounding the Seasons: Seventy Sonnets for the Christian Year
“I have given you… to open the eyes that are blind, to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon: from the prison, those who sit in darkness.” (Isaiah 42)
