THE BAPTISM OF THE LORD
JANUARY 11, 2015
Jesus is the beloved Son of the Father (3).
He is the light of the nations (1)
and Lord of all creation (2).
To him be all glory and praise (Ps)!
Liturgical Tidbits
THE WATERS OF BAPTISM
When new sod is put in, it needs constant saturation with water.
Landscapers say that this “knits” the sod to the soil. The same
when a branch is grafted onto a tree: the poultice that joins them at
the splice must be kept wet at all times. Water is the stuff that binds
the very cells of our bodies together. No wonder religions
throughout all times and cultures have used it so prominently.
When Jesus stepped into the Jordan for baptism, he “knit” himself
to what had come before him. By going to the Jordan, he made
himself one with the people of Israel who had crossed it into their
Promised Land. With John the Baptist, Christ wove himself into
the prophetic tradition that heralded the coming reign of God. He
had become fully human in the waters of Mary’s womb, and by
partaking in the rite of the baptism of repentance, Jesus identified
himself with our sinful, frail humanity. It is through the waters of
baptism that Christ continues to graft new members onto his Body, the
Church; through these waters we are cleansed from sin and filled with the
promise of grace, given our destiny for eternal life. For us, as for Jesus, it
is also the waters of baptism that inaugurate our mission to proclaim the
Good News.

made out to Church of the Resurrection with “St Vincent de Paul”
in the memo line. God Bless You!

parishioners who generously give to our SVdP conference. Your
donations make it possible for us to help many needy families
during these difficult economic times. In December, we helped
forty-four families with assistance including $548 in rent, $150 in
twinning to other conferences and provided forty bags of groceries
from our pantry.
Food for our Pantry: Please help us stock our SVdP pantry for
coming weeks. This week we need pasta, pasta sauce, meals-in-acan, canned vegetables, canned meat and canned fruit. Donations
should be placed in the baskets at the entrances to the Church. We
can also use paper grocery bags (preferably doubled). Please no
fresh produce or partially used food. Thank you!
