LECTOR SCHEDULE
Weekend of Jan 17/18
The Baptism of the Lord has historically been associated with the
celebration of Epiphany. Even today, the Eastern Christian feast of
Theophany, celebrated on January 6 as a counterpart to the
Western feast of Epiphany, focuses primarily on the Baptism of
the Lord as the revelation of God to man.
After the Nativity of Christ (Christmas) was separated out from
Epiphany, the Church in the West continued the process and
dedicated a celebration to each of the major epiphanies
(revelations) or theophanies (the revelation of God to man): the
Birth of Christ at Christmas, which revealed Christ to Israel; the
revelation of Christ to the Gentiles, in the visit of the Wise Men at
Epiphany; the Baptism of the Lord, which revealed the Trinity;
and the miracle at the wedding at Cana, which revealed Christ's
transformation of the world. (For more on the four theophanies,
see the article on Christmas.)
Thus, the Baptism of the Lord began to be celebrated on the
octave (eighth day) of Epiphany, with the miracle at Cana
celebrated on the Sunday after that. In the current liturgical
calendar, the Baptism of the Lord is celebrated on the Sunday after
January 6, and, a week later, on the Second Sunday of Ordinary
Time, we hear the Gospel of the Wedding at Cana.

EL BAUTISMO DEL SEÑOR
11 DE ENERO, 2015
BAUTISMO DEL SEÑOR
Con la celebración del Bautismo del Señor se
cierra la temporada de Navidad.
Pregunta: ¿Jesús, siendo Dios, necesita recibir
el Espíritu Santo?, acaso no lo tuvo desde la
eternidad?
Respuesta: Jesús no necesita recibir el Espíritu
ya que El es uno con Padre y el Espíritu Santo
desde la eternidad. En el bautismo se manifestó
el Espíritu para beneficio nuestro, en una epifanía (manifestación) de la Trinidad.
