THIS IS MY BELOVED SON This Sunday’s celebration of the Baptism of the Lord closes the Christmas season. In the scriptures we see one more epiphany, or manifestation, of the Spirit of God in Jesus; but this time it is as an adult, rather than as a child. Jesus’ baptism also serves as the inauguration of his prophetic mission and the messianic age. Today’s reading from Isaiah describes God’s chosen Messiah, upon whom God’s spirit rests. In the Acts of the Apostles Peter says that “God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power” (Acts 10:38). Finally, in the proclamation from Matthew’s Gospel Jesus’ baptism in water goes almost unnoticed. The crucial moment comes when the Spirit of God comes upon Jesus and a voice from heaven echoes the words of Isaiah: “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased” (Matthew 3:17).

WHY ARE YOU COMING TO ME? We can almost hear the amazement in John the Baptist’s voice as he says to Jesus, “I need to be baptized by you, and yet you are coming to me?” Throughout the time that John preached and baptized people in the desert, he had been preparing people for the coming of the Messiah. Now, Jesus approaches him for baptism! We might share in his wonder. Why would Jesus, who is sinless, come to John for a baptism of repentance? Jesus’ response to John helps us understand. Jesus has come to fulfill all that is expected in the Messiah, and more. As he entered the waters of baptism, Jesus entered fully into our humanity, raising us toward God. Jesus sanctified the waters of baptism, making them holy, opening the heavens through his humble obedience to God’s plan of love.

CHRIST’S MISSION IS OUR MISSION As Jesus came out of the baptismal waters, the Holy Spirit descended upon him and a voice from the heavens was heard saying, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.” In joining himself to humanity, Jesus opened the heavens for us, and in doing so, was confirmed in his mission of mercy and love. In baptism, we are joined with Christ. Immersed into his life and love, his mission is our mission. It is still early in this new year. Today, reflect on your baptismal call to live as a member of Christ’s body. In what ways do you love God and others? In what ways might you grow as a disciple of our Lord Jesus Christ? How are you living the mission of Christ, to make God’s love and mercy known in the world? Is Christ’s mission your mission?

ESTE ES MI HIJO MUY AMADO Con la celebración del Bautismo del Señor este domingo concluye el tiempo de Navidad. En las lecturas vemos más de una epifanía o manifestación del Espíritu de Dios en Jesús, sólo que esta vez ya no como niño, sino como adulto. El Bautismo de Jesús es también la inauguración de su misión profética y de la era mesiánica. En la lectura de hoy Isaías describe al Mesías elegido por Dios sobre el cual ha puesto su Espíritu. En los Hechos de los Apóstoles Pedro dice que “Dios ungió con el poder del Espíritu Santo a Jesús de Nazaret” (Hechos 10:38). Finalmente, en las proclamación del Evangelio de Mateo el Bautismo de Jesús en el agua casi pasa desapercibido. El momento crucial ocurre cuando el Espíritu de Dios desciende sobre Jesús y una voz del cielo viene como un eco de las palabras de Isaías: “Éste es mi Hijo muy amado, en quien tengo mis complacencias” (Mateo 3:17). ¿Y TÚ VIENES A QUE YO TE BAUTICE? Casi podemos escuchar el asombro de la voz de Juan el Bautista mientras le dice a Jesús: “Yo soy quien debe ser bautizado por ti, ¿y tú vienes a que yo te bautice?” Durante todo el tiempo que Juan predicó y bautizó a las personas, las había estado preparando para la venida del Mesías. Ahora, ¡Jesús se acerca a Juan para que lo bautice! La respuesta de Jesús a Juan nos ayuda a enten-der. Jesús ha venido a cumplir todo aquello esperado del Mesías y más. Al entrar a las aguas del bautismo, Jesús entra completamen-te en nuestra humanidad, llevándonos hacia Dios. Jesús santificó las aguas del bautismo, haciéndolas sagradas, abriendo los cielos mediante su humilde obediencia al plan de amor de Dios. LA MISIÓN DE CRISTO ES NUESTRA MISIÓN Al salir Jesús de las aguas del bautismo, el Espíritu Santo descendió sobre él y una voz de los cielos se escuchó diciendo: “Este es mi Hijo muy amado, en quien tengo mis complacencias”. Al unirse él mismo a la humanidad, Jesús abrió los cielos para nosotros, y al hacerlo, fue confirmado en su misión de misericordia y amor. En el bautismo, nos unimos con Cristo. Inmersos en su vida y amor, su misión es nuestra misión. Todavía estamos al principio de este año nuevo. Hoy, reflexiona en nuestra llamada bautismal para vivir como miembros del cuerpo de Cristo. ¿De qué manera amas a Dios en los demás? ¿De qué manera podrías crecer como discípulo de nuestro Señor Jesucristo? ¿Cómo estás viviendo la misión de Cristo, para dar a conocer el amor y la miseri-cordia de Dios en el mundo? ¿Es la misión de Cristo tu misión?

Oyó una voz que decía, desde el cielo: “Éste es mi Hijo muy amado, en quien tengo mis complacencias”. — Mateo 3:17

Baptism and Life “Whoever is moved by love begins to perceive what “life” really is. He begins to perceive the meaning of the word of hope that we encountered in the Baptismal Rite: from faith I await “eternal life” - the true life which, whole and unthreat-ened, in all its fullness, is simply life. Jesus, who said that he had come so that we might have life and have it in its fullness, in abundance (cf. Jn 10:10), has also explained to us what “life” means: “this is eternal life, that they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent” (Jn 17:3). Life in its true sense is not some-thing we have exclusively in or from ourselves: it is a relationship. And life in its totality is a relationship with him who is the source of life. If we are in relation with him who does not die, who is Life itself and Love itself, then we are in life. Then we ‘live’”. Pope Benedict XVI, Encyclical on Hope, Nov. 30, 2007

Bautismo y Vida “Quien es movido por el amor empieza a percibir lo que es realmente la “vida.” Empieza a percibir el significado de la palabra de esperanza que encontramos en el Rito Bau-tismal: por la fe espero en la “vida eterna” – la verdadera vida, la cual, completa y no amenazada, en toda su plenitud, es simplemente vida. Jesús, quien dijo que había venido para que tuviéramos vida, en toda su plenitud, en abundan-cia (Jn 10:10), nos ha también explicado lo que es la “vida”: “esta es la vida eterna, conocerte a ti único Dios verdadero, y al que enviaste” (Jn 17,3). La vida en su sentido propio no es algo exclusivamente nuestro o algo para nosotros: es una relación. La vida en su totalidad es una relación con el que es la fuente de la vida. Si estamos en relación con aquel que no muere, quien es la Vida en sí mismo y el Amor en sí mismo, entonces estamos en la vida. Entonces ‘vivimos’”. Papa Benedicto XVI, Encíclica sobre la Esperanza, Noviembre 30, 2007.

FOOD PANTRY CORNER

Enjoy the 2020 Super Bowl

while helping others;

that’s a win!!!!

A warm bowl of soup on a cold (Florida) winter

day… sounds pretty simple. As simple as

turning on the TV and watching the “big

game” (the game is scheduled to be played on

February 2, 2020 at Hard Rock Stadium in

Miami Gardens). However, as accessible as a

can of soup may sound to most, a bowl of soup

or a hot meal can be a challenge for many

people in our local community.

This January the St. Jude Food Pantry will be

collecting cans or boxes of soup/stew. If you

have an extra can or two, drop it off in the “big

soup container” as you enter the foyer of the

church.

God Bless You and THANK YOU for helping

our guests in need.

PILGRIMAGE 2021 We are trying to plan a new trip for 2021, and to have it ready by June 2020. However, we need

your help… Please let us know which of these four destinations you would prefer to visit:

Ireland - 11 days Spain, Fatima & Lourdes - 11 days Poland & Eastern Europe - 12 days

Greece - 11 days (incl. 3-day cruise)
