MANIFESTING THE SPIRIT
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).

TREASURES FROM
OUR TRADITION
Merry Christmas! Share
that cheerful greeting with
some folks today. They may
wonder if you have had any
Elvis sightings lately, attended Star Trek conventions, or
were Cleopatra in a previous
lifetime. Despite the skeptics,
today is solidly within the
Christmas season. In fact, in
some strands of the Christian
tradition it represents the
clearest manifestation of the
mystery of the Incarnation.
On Christmas Day, for example, the Gospel reading is the
Prologue of John’s Gospel,
which reveals the glory of
Christ shining through our
humanity precisely in his
baptism.
At any rate, this is an
ancient feast, celebrated first
in Egypt sixteen centuries
ago. More than most other
ancient people, the Egyptians
understood the life giving
properties of water. On this
day, they drew water from
the Nile, so central in the
history of their people, and
reserved it in honor. Many
other places copied the custom, so that St. John Chrysostom wrote of people in Antioch gathering at midnight to
collect flowing water into
vessels they brought from
home since “today there is a
blessing on the water.” At
home for dinner tonight, decorate the table with beautiful
bowls of water and white
candles, toast one another
with goblets of sparkling water, and light a Christmas
candle in the window one last
time.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
La costumbre del bautismo infantil debe ser mucho
más que un acto social o una tradición cultural, donde el ropón y los regalos son más importantes que la
doctrina cristiana, y los padrinos se escogen no por
su buen ejemplo sino por su cuenta bancaria.
Según los Hechos de los Apóstoles, familias enteras se bautizaban cuando el padre de familia decidía
hacerse cristiano. Esta práctica de bautizar, no solo al
nuevo creyente sino también a su mujer y a sus hijos,
poco a poco, quedó solo en bautizar los niños del original creyente. El mundo en aquel tiempo estaba basado sobre la familia así como muchas culturas latinas de hoy.
El bautizo infantil nació en la Iglesia primitiva y
al pasar de los siglos llegó a transformarse en un rito
religioso muy importante en la catequesis del nuevo
cristiano. El niño viste de ropita blanca que recuerda
la presencia de Cristo en su alma, se le regala una
vela que lo invita a brillar con la luz de Cristo y se le
da una madrina o un padrino que le enseñará a vivir
en Cristo.
MANIFESTANDO AL ESPÍRITU
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).
