Grant that all...
This painting entitled The Baptism of the Christ, 22x38", oil on canvas, hangs in Saint George's Cathedral in Jerusalem. It is a symbolist work depicting the beginning and the end of the ministry of Jesus (Baptism & Crucifixion).
Father in heaven,
who at the baptism of Jesus in the River Jordan proclaimed him your beloved Son and anointed him with the Holy Spirit:
Grant that all who are baptized into his Name may keep the covenant they have made,
and boldly confess him as Lord and Savior;
who with you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns,
one God,
in glory everlasting.
Amen.
