The Baptism of the Lord
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.Copyright © J. S.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
In the 1560s, the Council of Trent attempted to
standardize the widely variant customs for the pastoral
care of the sick and dying. We had inherited a practice
called “extreme unction,” from the Latin words meaning
anointing at the point of death. The deeper tradition,
however, is about the prayer of faith that will heal and
restore the sick person, and is straight from the Letter of
James. The Fathers went back to the beginning, and while
not discarding the “extreme unction” name, made a plea
for the proper use of this sacrament. As soon as a person is
in danger of death from sickness or old age, they reasoned,
the time for the sacrament had already arrived. As a result
of this desire, the next ritual text for anointing contained
an innovation: a rite for visiting the sick that included
readings from scripture, psalms, and prayers. Old customs
fade slowly, however, and the quality of pastoral care
languished for centuries while people delayed the
celebration of a consoling and effective sacrament,
sometimes missing the opportunity completely. A priest
ministering to a dying and unconscious patient alone in a
room has never been the desire of the Church. Our
tradition is far too rich for this sacrament to be celebrated
in such a diminished and ungenerous manner.

BAUTISMO DEL SEÑOR
El Bautismo del Señor
Por: Javier Caballero | Fuente: Catholic.net
LAS AGUAS
BAUTISMALES
Cuando se planta
un césped nuevo,
debe
regarse
constantemente. Los
jardineros dicen que
esto “teje” el césped
al suelo. Lo mismo
sucede cuando se
injerta una rama a un
árbol: el cataplasma
que los une debe estar
húmedo
en
todo
momento. El agua es lo que mantiene unidas a las células de
nuestro cuerpo. Con razón las religiones de todas las épocas
y culturas han usado tanto este símbolo. Cuando Jesús se
sumerge en el Jordán para ser bautizado, se “teje” a todo
aquello que lo precedía. Al sumergirse en el Jordán, se hizo
uno con el pueblo de Israel que había cruzado el río para
llegar a su Tierra Prometida. Junto a Juan Bautista, Cristo se
tejió a la tradición profética que presagiaba la venida del
Reino de Dios. Jesús se había convertido plenamente en
humano en las aguas del vientre de María y al participar del
rito del Bautismo del arrepentimiento, se sintió identificado
con nuestra frágil y pecaminosa humanidad. Por las aguas
del Bautismo Cristo continúa injertando nuevos miembros a
su Cuerpo, la Iglesia; gracias a nuestro destino de vida
eterna, por estas aguas somos limpiados del pecado y
recibimos la promesa de la gracia. Para nosotros, como para
Jesús, las aguas bautismales también inauguran nuestra
misión de proclamar la Buena Nueva. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
Uno de los momentos más importantes de la vida de todo
cristiano es el bautismo. A diferencia de otros momentos, nos
acordamos muy poco de él. No sólo porque, cuando nos
bautizaron y nos "mojaron" la cabeza, no teníamos uso de
razón, sino también porque no siempre lo valoramos en su
justa medida. El Evangelio de hoy nos presenta el bautismo
de Jesús. Él, que era Dios, que no tenía ningún pecado,
acudió a Juan, el Bautista, para ser bautizado. ¡Qué sorpresa
para el Bautista ver que el mismo Dios se inclinaba ante él
para recibir este sacramento! Con este gesto, Jesús nos
demuestra la grandeza de este misterio y nos da una lección
más de humildad.
En efecto, por el bautismo nos hacemos hijos de Dios. Somos
curados del pecado original. Gracias a este sacramento se
nos abren las puertas del cielo y comenzamos a ganar
méritos en la gran competición que es la vida. Dios nos da su
gracia. A nosotros nos corresponde hacerla fecunda, hacerla
crecer día tras día. ¿Hasta dónde? «Y descendió el Espíritu
Santo en forma corporal, como una paloma, sobre Él, y
se dejó oír del cielo una voz: "Tú eres mi Hijo amado, en
Ti me complazco". Hemos de lograr que el Padre también
exclame de cada uno de nosotros: "Éste es mi hijo amado...
en él me complazco..." Y todo ello porque tratamos de
agradarle en todo, correspondiendo a ese don tan maravilloso
que nos vino por el bautismo, el don del Espíritu Santo.
Que todos aquellos con los que convivimos descubran en
nosotros esa paloma invisible que se traduce en santidad y
en donación hacia nuestros hermanos los hombres. Una vez
que Cristo se hizo bautizar, comenzó de lleno su misión
apostólica.
Seamos apóstoles y portadores del mensaje redentor y
salvífico de Cristo a un mundo que, a
veces, parece caminar a ciegas.
Propósito - Que el evento más
importante del día sea la participación
en la Eucaristía, sugiriendo a la familia
dar gracias por el don del bautismo,
puerta de nuestra fe.
Diálogo con Cristo - Gracias, Señor, por hacerme hijo tuyo.
Gracias por hacerme miembro de tu Iglesia. No dejes que
olvide que mis privilegios como bautizado me deben llevar a
corresponderte, porque toda mi existencia tiene como
objetivo llevar a plenitud la vida de gracia que recibí en el
Bautismo. El Bautismo no sólo me hace hijo de Dios y me
une a Jesucristo en la Iglesia, sino que me lanza como testigo
y apóstol de tu Reino.

O Batismo de Jesus, que é a festa de hoje,
nos
faz
lembrar
como
é
importante que os pais e padrinhos precisam
muito
de
uma
preparação
antes de batizar seu filho, seu afilhado. Eu,
pessoalmente,
não
entendo
bem as razões porque certas pessoam batizam.
Pode
ser
que
alguns
pensam
que o Batismo salva. Eu nunca pensei que
estou
salvo
por
fui
batizado.
Pelo contrário, o Batismo compromete.
Jesus
falou
que
a
pessoa
que
será salva é a pessoa que é batizada e quem
crer.
Crer
em
Jesus
é
essencial. Imagine se os pais não creem em
Jesus,
não
praticam
a
sua
fé, não ensinam seus filhos quem é Jesus, e
ainda
batizam
seus
filhos,
serão salvos?
Há pessoas que se chamam "crentes." Dizem
que
são
salvas
porque
são
batizadas e creem. Maravilhoso! Mas eu sou
batizado,
eu
creio
em
Jesus, mas ainda não me sinto completamente
salvo.
Por
quê?
Simplesmente porque crer em Jesus é mais do
que
crer
que
ele
existe,
que
é meu salvador, que morreu na cruz, Crer nele
é
viver
como
ele
viveu,
viver que ele ensinou. Se nós não perdoarmos
quem
nos
ofende,
será
possível dizer que cremos em Jesus? É a nossa
maneira
de
viver
que
salva. A nossa maneira de viver depende da
nossa
intimidade
com
Jesus,
nosso
amor
com
Ele.
Batismo, para quem entende, pode dar para
todos
a
força
de
viver
bem. Mas a pessoa batizada tem que saber
disso.
Tem
que
saber
que
o
Espírito Santo que recebeu está pronto para dar
tudo
que
precisa
para
alcançar a salvação eterna. Rezemos pelas
pessoas
que
são
baizadas,
ou
que batizam, e realmente não sabem o "por
que” essencial.
Padre Gerard Oberle, CSsR
Para ser salvo, é preciso Ter fé em Jesus e segui-lo, mas
ninguém segue Jesus sozinho. Pelo batismo passamos a
fazer parte da comunidade dos seguidores de Jesus,
participantes da vida de Deus que é Pai, Filho e Espírito
Santo.
O DÍZIMO NÃO ACONTECE
POR ACASO.
Faça-o acontecer em sua vida.
Convidamos você para vir nos ajudar
a reorganizar a Equipe do Dízimo em nossa
Comunidade
