From the Pastor
Today we celebrate the feast of the Baptism of The
Lord. This is the second "Epiphany" or manifestation of God
in as many weeks. As Jesus leaves the waters of the Jordan
the voice of the Father is heard, "This is my beloved Son,"
The Lord tells us directly who this Jesus really is: the Son of
God.
Now when we think about baptism we know it’s a
sacrament given to us for the forgiveness of sins. Those who
are baptized are washed clean of all sin and are made members
of the Church and the Body of Christ. So why would Jesus
need to be baptized? The fact of the matter is Jesus did not
need to be baptized. He had no sin and he is God himself. He
went into the waters of baptism as an example for us to follow.
Now most of us were baptized as infants and so our
parents and godparents made promises on our behalf. We
ourselves renew these promises every Easter. Perhaps today
would be a good time to meditate on these promises and ask
ourselves, as we begin this new year, if we've been keeping
these promises.
Do you reject Satan? Sure we do. But we must also
do what Eve failed to do. Never talk to the serpent in the first
place! Though still a creature like us, he is pure spirit and
knows how to tempt us. The best remedy is to simply not listen to his forked-tongue words.
And all his works? I think most of us would never
willingly cooperate with evil but we do so because we are
willful and full of ourselves sometimes. Here's an example:
We vote for pro-abortion politicians because life isn't that important to us. In so doing, we cooperate with the evil that is
murder. Any time we stand idly by while evil is being done we
consent in some way to it.
And all his empty promises? His promises are those
that are in opposition to The Lord and His Church. Any time
we hear ourselves or someone else say, "I know what the
Church says, but...." we buy into his empty promises. Not too
long ago I was speaking with a Catholic who had a masonic
emblem on his car. I asked if he was a Mason and he said yes.
I proceeded to explain that no Catholic can be a Mason and
receive Holy Communion as they remain in a state of grave
sin. His response? "No, it's OK Father. Down at the lodge
they told me I could do both!" That's kind of like a married
man telling his wife that his girlfriend says it's OK to cheat!
Finally, we profess our faith in the living God. For
the sake of space in the bulletin I'll ask you to take this to
prayer every day this week and meditate on the mysteries
herein.
Do you believe in God, the Father Almighty, creator of heaven
and earth? Do you believe in Jesus Christ his only son, our
Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died,
and was buried; rose from the dead and is seated at the right
hand of the Father? Do you believe in the Holy Spirit, the
Holy Catholic Church, the Communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting?
