Today's meditation: water and the spirit

Jesus came to John and received baptism from him. Or fact that fills with amazement! The infinite river, which cheers up the city of God, is bathed in a few drops of water. The irrepressible source, from which life flows for all men and is perennial, plunges into a thread of scarce and fleeting water.
He who is everywhere and does not lack anywhere, the one whom angels cannot understand and men cannot see, approaches to receive baptism of spontaneous will. And behold, the heavens are opened to him and a voice resounds that says "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased" (Mt 3,17:XNUMX).
The one who is loved generates love and the immaterial light gives birth to an inaccessible light. This is he who was called the son of Joseph and is my only begotten in the divine nature.
"This is my beloved Son": he experiences hunger, he who feeds an infinite number of creatures; he is stricken with tiredness, he who restores the fatigued; he has nowhere to lay his head, he who holds everything in his hands; he suffers who heals all suffering; he is slapped who gives the world freedom; he is injured in the side, who repairs the side of Adam.
But please pay close attention to me: I want to return to the source of life and contemplate the source of all remedies.
The Father of immortality sent the immortal Son and Word into the world, who came among men to wash them in water and the Spirit, and, to regenerate us in soul and body to eternal life, he breathed in us the Spirit of life and he put on incorruptible armor.
If therefore man has become immortal, he will also be god. If in the water and in the Holy Spirit he becomes god through the regeneration of baptism, after the resurrection from the dead he also finds himself co-heir of Christ.
Therefore I proclaim like a herald: Come, tribes and peoples all, to the immortality of baptism. This is the water associated with the Holy Spirit through which paradise is irrigated, the earth becomes fertile, plants grow, every animated being generates life; and to express everything in a few words, it is the water by which the regenerated man receives life, with whom Christ was baptized, in which the Holy Spirit descended in the form of a dove.
Those who descend with faith in this regeneration wash, renounce the devil and take sides with Christ, deny the enemy and recognize that Christ is God, take off slavery and put on filial adoption, return from baptism as splendid as the sun and emitting rays of justice; but, and this constitutes the greatest reality, he returns to be the son of God and co-heir of Christ.
To him the glory and power together with the most holy, beneficial and life-giving Spirit, now and always, for all centuries. Amen.
