THE MEANING OF OUR BAPTISM
Lent is the time of year that we devote to
scrutinizing our lives in the light of our baptism into
the death and resurrection of Jesus. Today’s
readings are a nice shorthand catechism of what our
baptized lives mean. As Noah passed through the
waters of the flood to a covenant with God, so did
we enter into a covenant, a promised relationship
with God through our baptism. The psalm reminds
us that if we truly keep the covenant, the way of life
God expects us to follow will not be a burden, but a
source of love and truth. Peter’s letter gives one
explanation of what our baptism means: it is an
appeal that we make to God for a clear conscience.
How do we obtain this clear conscience? The words
that Jesus proclaims immediately following his
temptation show us the way: “Repent and believe in
the gospel.” It might be a good spiritual exercise to
keep these readings before us throughout the entire
season of Lent, a means to help us return to a life
lived in our baptismal promises.

EL SIGNIFICADO DE NUESTRO BAUTISMO
Cuaresma es la época del año que dedicamos a
escudriñar nuestras vidas a la luz de nuestro
Bautismo en la muerte y resurrección de Jesús. Las
lecturas de hoy son como un catecismo abreviado de
lo que nuestras vidas de bautizados significan. Tal
como Noé pasó por las aguas del diluvio a una
alianza con Dios, así también nosotros entramos en
una alianza, una relación con Dios prometida por
nuestro Bautismo. El salmo nos recuerda que si
realmente vivimos la alianza, el modo de vida que
Dios quiere que vivamos no va a ser una carga, sino
una fuente de amor y verdad. La carta de Pedro
ofrece una explicación de lo que significa nuestro
bautismo: es una plegaria a Dios pidiendo una buena
conciencia. ¿Cómo obtenemos esta buena
conciencia? Las palabras que Jesús proclama justo
después de su tentación nos señala el camino:
“Arrepiéntanse y crean en el Evangelio”. Podría ser
un buen ejercicio espiritual mantener estas lecturas a
nuestro alcance durante todo el tiempo de Cuaresma,
un medio para ayudarnos a volver a una vida vivida
según nuestras promesas bautismales.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
Fasting may be a priority in your Lenten spring-
cleaning regimen. Almost every religious tradition
recognizes that fasting is a key to heightened
spiritual awareness. You know this from your own
experience. When you are engaged in a hobby,
painting a room, keeping vigil near a delivery room,
or standing watch at a sickbed, you may simply
forget to eat. What you are doing so fills you that the
intensity of the action is itself nourishing. In fasting
from food, or drink, or habitual behaviors, you make
room for what is truly important.
Even though Lenten Sundays stand apart from
the Lenten fast, you will notice traces of fasting in
our liturgy. We fast from singing the Gloria and
Alleluia, we fast from flowers bedecking the altar,
and there may be a noticeable drop in the number of
infant baptisms as parents elect to wait until Easter.
This hints that fasting is a prelude to feasting, and
the vigor of our Easter alleluias is rich fare after a
long silence. In the same way, even a small fast—no
cream in the coffee, no pepper in the soup, no radio
in the car—can not only point to deeper hungers, but
help us rejoice more fully in the feast when we break
our fast together.
—Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
Según un dicho ár abe, si quier es conocer bien
a una persona, debes convivir durante cuarenta días
con ella. Cuarenta no puede tomarse al pie de la
letra, ya que en las culturas semitas de siglos
pasados cuarenta significaba “un largo periodo de
tiempo”. Los judíos, cristianos y musulmanes
provenimos de esas culturas antiguas y es por eso
que para nosotros el número cuarenta es muy
importante. Algunos ejemplos bíblicos: El diluvió
duró cuarenta días. Moisés habló con Dios durante
cuarenta días en el Sinaí. El pueblo de Israel pasó
cuarenta años en el desierto purificándose de sus
pecados. Jesús ayunó cuarenta días en el desierto
antes de iniciar su ministerio público. El profeta
Mahoma tenía cuarenta años cuando Dios lo llamó;
asimismo, según el Islam, Dios creó a Adán en
cuarenta días, y la persona que desea sabiduría
necesita ayunar cuarenta días.
No se sabe de dónde viene esta conexión del
número cuarenta con la religión. Algunos
astrónomos piensan que es debido al planeta Venus.
Venus (estrella matutina) viaja por el cielo
regresando a su lugar de origen cada cuarenta años
menos cuarenta días.
