Lord Jesus, our wise teacher, may we consent to whatever it is that you ask of us, even if we do not understand, trusting in your plan to bring about goodness and righteousness in and through us in the world, through you who walked among us and then ascended to the Father and Holy Spirit in glory. Amen.
‘Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan, to be baptized by him. John would have prevented him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?” But Jesus answered him, “Let it be so now, for it is proper for us in this way to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he consented.’ – Matthew 3:13-15
