who are thirsty, come to
— Isaiah 55:1
Pope Francis comments of the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord in these words:
Today’s page from the Gospel emphasizes that, when Jesus had received baptism from John in the
River Jordan, “the heavens were opened” to him (Mt 3:16). This fulfills the prophecies. In fact, there
is an invocation which the liturgy has us repeat during the Season of Advent: “O that thou wouldst
rend the heavens and come down” (Is 64:1). If the heavens remain closed, our horizon in this earthly
life is dark and without hope. Instead, in celebrating Christmas, once again faith has given us the certainty that the heavens have been rent with the coming of Christ. And on the day of the baptism of
Christ we continue to contemplate the heavens opened. The manifestation of the Son of God on earth
marks the beginning of the great time of mercy, after sin had closed the heavens, raising itself as a barrier between the human being and his Creator. With the birth of Jesus the heavens open! God gives us
in Christ the guarantee of an indestructible love. From the moment the Word became flesh it is therefore possible to see the open heavens. It was possible for the shepherds of Bethlehem, for the Magi of
the East, for the Baptist, for Jesus’ Apostles, and for St Stephen, the first martyr, who exclaimed:
“Behold, I see the heavens opened!” (Acts 7:56). And it is possible for each one of us, if we allow ourselves to be suffused with God’s love, which is given to us for the first time in Baptism by means of
the Holy Spirit. Let us allow ourselves to be invaded by God’s love! This is the great time of mercy!
Do not forget it: this is the great time of Mercy!
Let us give thanks to God for the great gift of our Baptism in which God invades us with His love!
