SCRIPTURE COMMENTARY #83
Now it came to pass, when all the people were baptized, that Jesus also being baptized and praying, heaven was opened. (Luke 3:21)
THE PRAYER OF OUR LORD after His baptism shows that we too ought to pray after receiving the holy Sacraments; that is, we ought to thank God for the grace received, and pray for perseverance in grace and good works.
[From 'A Practical Commentary on Holy Scripture' by Bishop Knecht, D.D.]THE PRAYER OF OUR LORD after His baptism shows that we too ought to pray after receiving the holy Sacraments; that is, we ought to thank God for the grace received, and pray for perseverance in grace and good works.
(1899 Douay-Rheims Bible)
