The Holy Spirit comes to solemnly attest to the divinity of Jesus at the moment in which he performed, like any man, the penitential gesture, having undergone the baptism of John. During his earthly life, Jesus will never show himself as great as in the humility of his gestures and words. Following Christ means undertaking this path of humility, that is, of truth. Christ, true God and true man, teaches us the truth of our being. Wounded by sin, purified by baptism, we oscillate between the two extremes, both attractive, of evil and holiness. And this is experienced in the humblest daily life. At every step we can choose God and his love, or vice versa, reject it. Following in the footsteps of Jesus means ensuring the path that, despite being narrow and stony, leads to eternal life, to true bliss.
