THE BAPTISM OF THE LORD
January 12, 2014
A voice came from the heavens, saying, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”
PASTOR’S REFLECTION —
Baptism is the prime sacrament for the Christian.
Through Baptism, a person is welcomed into the
company of Jesus and a member of the Body of
Christ. The washing that takes place at Baptism
cleanses us from sin and makes us a new creation,
filled with grace and called to be a witness of the
Resurrection of the Lord throughout our lives. Baptism literally gets us going on the road to eternal life.
When we celebrate the BAPTISM OF THE LORD as
we do today, it offers us the opportunity to take a new
look at our own Baptism and what it means to us.
Our Lord was “Baptized” in the Jordan by John. Jesus did not need Baptism; Our Lord had no sin to
wash away; He had no need for conversion or a
change of heart; He didn’t need to be made into a
new creation – He is the new creation itself. The
Preface for the Feast of John the Baptist says it
well:“…He (John) baptized Christ, the giver of baptism, in waters made holy by the one who was
baptized.” Jesus is the one who gave us baptism,
not the other way around.
But, Jesus chose to be baptized in order to give us an
example: that through Baptism we are made new –
we die to sin and rise to new life in Christ. This is a
wonderful mystery and a tremendous gift for us.
Sadly, some reject the need for Baptism as part of
the commitment to Christian life. All one needs to do,
they say, is to profess faith in the Name of Jesus and
that’s good enough. Then why does Jesus make
such an effort to be baptized? Why does He give us
this example if not to expect it of us? Why does every
Gospel refer in some way to the baptism of Jesus
and of our oneness with Jesus through Baptism?
Finally, Baptism calls us to live our lives as authentic
witnesses of Christ. Baptism demands of us to be
honest – this is one of the most serious criticisms
against Christians: “You say you belong to Christ, but
your actions and example are just the opposite.” If we
share in the mystery of Christ’s life through Baptism,
how can we live a life contrary to that call? This is
the challenge; this is the responsibility! This is
the joy.
As we celebrate the BAPTISM OF THE LORD, let’s
reflect about our own Baptism and what it means for
us. Let’s pray that we take our Baptism seriously –
not just talk about it or have an empty celebration.
May we commit ourselves each day to live as authentic disciples of the Lord; as genuine friends of Jesus,
ready to serve Him with our whole lives.

SACRAMENT OF BAPTISM
We welcome all parent (s) of The Catholic Church of Visalia to stop by
the Parish Office to inquire about having their child baptized. The Baptismal pamphlet answers questions regarding what the guidelines and
requirements are at TCCOV. Inquires and arrangements must be made
by the parent. Baptism dates are assigned in English and in Spanish and
are scheduled after all the requirements have been fulfilled.
Children over the age of 5 must be enrolled in the Religious Education Program and
a letter from the Coordinator must be submitted prior to making arrangements for the
baptism.
Requirements:
Register for an Orientation Session-/$10.00 material fee.
Parents must provide copy of child’s birth certificate
Godparent(s) must have received the Sacrament of Confirmation and provide a copy of the Confirmation Certificate.

certificate showing they are married in the Catholic Church.

SACRAMENT OF MATRIMONY
Marriages are arranged at least six months in advance. The bride

Church of Visalia (St. Mary’s , Holy Family, St. Thomas the Apostle or St. Charles Borromeo).
Either the bride or bridegroom must call the Parish Office at 734-9522 to

with the priest/Deacon.
MARRIAGE VALIDATION
Catholics are obliged to be married in the Church before a Catholic Ordained Minister (Deacon/Priest) and two witnesses. In these hectic times
in which we live, many couples, for reasons known only to them, fail to
get married in the Catholic Church.
What can they do about it?
They may have their marriage validated (sometimes called blessed) in the
Catholic Church! Please call the Parish Office at 734-9522, to make an
appointment to see a priest. The marriage can be validated (blessed) in a
simple, private ceremony in the Catholic Church (the six-month waiting period
would usually not apply to marriage validations). If you have had a prior
marriage, the process may be somewhat longer, but we will be happy to
assist you through it.

Education Program for at least **two years prior to the date requested for the
Quinceañera. (**Registered and in the Religious Education Middle School Program and

EL BAUTISMO DEL SENOR
12 DE ENERO DE 2013
Oyó una voz que decía, desde el cielo: “Este es mi Hijo muy amado, en quién tengo mis complacencias”. Mateo 3:17
REFLEXIÓN DEL PASTOREl bautismo es un sacramento primordial para el cristiano. Por el bautismo, una persona es recibida en
compañía de Jesús como miembro del Cuerpo de Cristo. El lavado que tiene lugar en el bautismo nos limpia del pecado y nos hace una nueva creación, llenos de gracia y llamados a ser testigos de la Resurrección del Señor en nuestras vidas. El Bautismo nos lleva literalmente hacia el camino a la vida eterna.
Cuando celebramos el Bautismo del Señor como lo hacemos hoy, nos ofrece la oportunidad de tomar una
nueva mirada a nuestro propio bautismo y lo que significa para nosotros. Nuestro Señor fue " bautizado "
en el Jordán por Juan. Jesús no necesitaba el bautismo; nuestro Señor no conoció pecado, que lavar; Él
no tenía necesidad de conversión o de un cambio de corazón, Él no tenía necesidad de ser convertido en
una nueva creación porque Él es la nueva creación en sí misma. El Prefacio de la fiesta de San Juan Bautista dice muy bien: “. ... Él (Juan) bautizó a Cristo, el dador de bautismo, en aguas santificadas por el que
fue bautizado " Jesús es el único que nos dio el bautismo, no al revés.
Pero, Jesús escogió ser bautizado con el fin de darnos el ejemplo de que por el bautismo somos renovados, que morimos al pecado y resucitamos a una nueva vida en Cristo. Este es un misterio maravilloso y
un gran regalo para nosotros.
Tristemente, algunos rechazan la necesidad de bautismo como parte del compromiso con la vida cristiana.
Todo lo que uno tiene que hacer, dicen, es profesar la fe en el Nombre de Jesús y eso es suficiente. Entonces, ¿por qué Jesús hace tal esfuerzo por ser bautizado? ¿Por qué Él nos da este ejemplo, si no lo esperara de nosotros? ¿Por qué se refiere cada Evangelio de alguna manera al bautismo de Jesús y de
nuestra unión con Jesús a través del bautismo?
Por último, el Bautismo nos llama a vivir nuestra vida como auténticos testigos de Cristo. El bautismo nos
exige que seamos honestos, esta es una de las críticas más graves contra los cristianos: " Ustedes dicen
que son de Cristo, pero sus acciones y ejemplo son todo lo contrario. " Si compartimos el misterio de la
vida de Cristo a través del bautismo, ¿cómo podemos vivir una vida contraria a ese llamado? ¡Este es el
reto, la responsabilidad! Esta es la alegría.
Mientras celebramos el Bautismo del Señor, vamos a reflexionar sobre nuestro propio bautismo y lo que
significa para nosotros. Oremos para que tomemos en serio nuestro bautismo que no sólo hablemos de
ello o que tengamos una celebración vacía, sino que nos comprometamos cada día a vivir como auténticos discípulos del Señor, como verdaderos amigos de Jesús , dispuestos a servirle con toda nuestra vida .

In the kindness of your prayers, please remember our
most recently deceased:
RESPECTO A LA VIDA
Por favor acompañe al Obispo Armando Ochoa a las
3:00pm para hacer el Rosario Caminata desde la
Family Planning Assocites en 165 N. Clark St.
Fresno, CA hasta La Catedral de San Juan
para nuestra Misa bilingüe de Respeto a
la Vida el sábado, 18 de Enero, 2014.
Seremos unos testigos fortalecidos en nuestra fe,
que proclama la santidad de la vida y la dignidad de
todas las personas, especialmente de los no nacidos. Nosotros recordamos el 40 Aniversario de Roe
v. Wade.
Nos unimos en solidaridad con nuestros Obispos de
la Conferencia de los Estados Unidos en su llamado
Nacional por Nueve Días de Oración, Penitencia
y Peregrinación, del 18 al 26 de Enero, 2014:
www.usccb.org. El 22 de Enero, 2014, nuestra
nación recordará el 41 Aniversario de Roe v. Wade.
Nuestro Rosario Caminata y Misa por el Respeto a la
Vida nos preparará para la Caminata por la Vida
Costa Este en San Francisco la próxima semana, el
25 de Enero, 2014: http://www.walkforlifewc.com
Comuníquese con Michael Salinas Director de Central California Right to Life Outreach para más información sobre estas dos caminatas:
