FEAST OF THE BAPTISM OF THE LORD
FIESTA DEL BAUTISMO DEL SEÑOR
This feast of the baptism of our Lord
brings to a conclusion the Christmas
season that we’ve been celebrating.
“Why would Jesus be baptized?" after
all, John was preaching a baptism of repentance, a baptism for the forgiveness
of sin. In fact, in Matthew's Gospel at
the account of the baptism, John himself
seems confused. Jesus arrived from Galilee and came to John at the Jordan to
be baptized by him, but John tried to
prevent him. He said, "How is it that you
come to me? I should be baptized by you." Jesus tells John, "Let
it be like that for now so that we may fulfill the right order." He
doesn't fully answer John, but he gives a hint because Jesus,
though he is Son of God, wants to follow what he calls the
right order. He wants to be fully identified with us, with humans, with those who are sinners, those who are marginalized, oppressed, pushed aside. In that crowd that came to
follow John and be baptized, there were people of every
class, every order, every nationality, everyone and Jesus
comes to be one with them, and therefore, with all of us.
Esta fiesta del bautismo de nuestro Señor
trae a conclusión de que hemos estado celebrando la temporada de Navidad. "¿Por
qué se bautizó Jesús?", Después de todo,
Juan predicaba el bautismo de arrepentimiento, un bautismo para el perdón de los
pecados. De hecho, en el Evangelio de Mateo, el mismo Juan parece confundido en lo
que se refiere al bautismo. Jesús llegó de
Galilea y vino a Juan al Jordán para ser bautizado por él, pero Juan se oponía. Juan dijo:
"¿Cómo es que tú vienes a mí? Debo ser bautizado por ti”. Jesús le dice a Juan: “Que sea así
por ahora para que podamos cumplir con el orden correcto”. Él
no responde plenamente a Juan, pero da una idea de que Jesús, aunque es el Hijo de Dios, quiere seguir lo que él llama
el orden correcto. Él quiere ser plenamente identificado con
nosotros, los seres humanos, con los que son pecadores,
los marginados, los oprimidos, los que son dejados a un lado.
En esa muchedumbre que venia siguiendo a Juan para ser
bautizados, había gente de todas las clases y todas las nacionalidades, Jesús viene a ser uno como ellos, y por lo tanto,
como todos nosotros.
Jesus' baptism serves as a model for our baptism. For Jesus,
baptism represents the beginning of his ministry. The greatest of gifts is ours in baptism: God's very own life and love, a
life to overcome the death which is our inheritance from
Adam's sin, a love to overpower and win us away from love
of self to love of. With baptism our new life of grace begins;
it is a fresh start and also the gateway to the rest of Christian
life. What we should be prepared for is that our journey of
faith, much like Jesus' journey, continues to unfold long after
our baptism as we try to discern what our baptism means in
our daily living. We who have received the grace of baptism
must endeavor always to live up to our baptismal promises
throughout our life.
El bautismo de Jesús sirve como modelo para nuestro bautismo. Para Jesús, el bautismo representa el comienzo de su
ministerio. El mayor de los regalos es nuestro bautismo.
Dios con su propia vida y amor supera la muerte,
que es nuestra herencia del pecado de Adán, un amor que
domina y nos mantiene lejos del amor a uno mismo. Con el
bautismo comienza nuestra nueva vida de gracia; Es un nuevo
comienzo y también es la puerta de entrada al resto de la
vida cristiana. Para lo que debemos estar preparados es para
nuestro camino de fe, al igual que el viaje de Jesús, continúa
desarrollándose mucho después de nuestro bautismo ya que
tratamos de discernir lo que significa el bautismo en nuestra
vida diaria. Nosotros, los que hemos recibido la gracia del
bautismo debemos esforzarnos a vivir a la altura de nuestras
promesas bautismales a lo largo de nuestra vida.
Fr. Joseph Mathew Paradayil, SDB
MANIFESTING THE SPIRIT
MANIFESTANDO AL ESPÍRITU
The Christmas season closes this Sunday with the
Baptism of the Lord. This feast is a sister to last week’s
feast of the Epiphany. Each of them celebrates an
“epiphany,” or a manifestation of the Spirit of God in
Jesus—first in his birth, and now at his baptism.
The divine Spirit is manifested in all of the scriptures
for this feast. Psalm 104 highlights the Spirit of God creating and renewing the earth, while the reading from
Isaiah describes God restoring Israel. In Luke’s account
of the baptism of the Lord the Holy Spirit descends upon Jesus. And the letter to Titus reminds us that the Holy Spirit was “richly poured out” on us also, through the
“bath of rebirth” (Titus 3:5, 6).
El tiempo de Navidad finaliza este domingo con el
Bautismo del Señor. Esta fiesta es hermana de la fiesta de
la semana pasada, la Epifanía. Cada una ellas celebra una
“epifanía”, o manifestación del Espíritu de Dios en Jesús
—primero en su nacimiento y ahora en su bautismo.
El Espíritu Divino se manifiesta en todas las lecturas
bíblicas de la fiesta. El Salmo 104 destaca al Espíritu de
Dios que crea y renueva la tierra, mientras que la lectura
de Isaías describe a Dios restaurando a Israel. En el relato
de Lucas del bautismo del Señor el Espíritu Santo desciende sobre Jesús. Y la carta a Tito nos recuerda que el Espíritu Santo también “derramó con abundancia” sobre nosotros, el “baño de regeneración” (Tito 3:5, 6).
