Luke 3:15-16
John the Baptist prepares the way
The people were waiting expectantly and were all wondering in their hearts if John might possibly be the Messiah. John answered them all, “I baptise you with water. But one who is more powerful than I will come, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptise you with the Holy Spirit and fire.”

Prayer
Holy Spirit, fill me with your love, cleanse me with your fire. Renew a right spirit within me and guide me on my way.
