The Baptism of the Lord
Today is the feast of Our Lord’s baptism by John the Baptizer. Roman Catholics are to be
committed Christians. This requires an openness to on-going conversion as Christ comes alive
in us. We practice our Christian way of life with our fellow parishioners. We belong to a
community of faith in Jesus Christ. Here we raise our children beginning with their baptism
and we seal them with Holy Spirit in Confirmation and celebrate the Eucharist which is “the
source and summit of our faith.”
All of this sounds so uplifting, so good. But...today we read and hear about “baptized
unbelievers.” A seeming contradiction: people who go through the motions of religion, but
have not experienced the personal, life-altering conversion that is essential. It was rightly said
after the Vatican Council ended and a new course was set that the task of the church then was
to convert the baptized.
The question is asked: Why don’t we baptize people when they are old enough to choose for
themselves? Our answer? To raise a child religiously neutral requires us to be religiously
neutral ourselves. It would mean having our children live among us as non-Christians. Also, it
would be an impossible, psychological tension precluded by the very nature of faith and the
commitment that faith requires. It would be like not immunizing your child, spiritually. Later,
they may repudiate their baptism, but they cannot object later to having been baptized any
more than they can object to their parents’ setting up an educational trust fund, if they later
decide against further education.
Today is the last day of Christmastime in the liturgy. Tomorrow begins “ordinary time.” The
real Christian life is not lived in the more spectacular Christmas and Easter times, but in the
long hauls in between. Ordinary time provides us with the time to be faithful to our pledge,
faithful to our sacrament of baptism - our vocation: Ordinary people living as extraordinary
Catholic Christians.
This weekend’s feast of the Baptism of Our Lord is a call to each one of us to renew the
promises of our baptism to walk with Our Risen Lord every day in the ordinary circumstances
of our daily life. To do this we need the witness of one another as we build up the Body of
Christ bearing witness to his presence in today’s world.

Parochial VicarSpiritual Communion Prayer
My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love you above all things and I desire to receive you in my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive you sacramentally,
Come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace you as if you were already there
And unite myself wholly to you.
Never permit me to be separated from you.
Amen.

Oración para la Comunión Espiritual
Dios mío, creo que estás presente en el Santísimo Sacramento.
Te amo por encima de todas las cosas y deseo recibirte en mi alma.
Ya que en este momento no puedo recibirte sacramentalmente,
Ven al menos espiritualmente a mi corazón.
Te abrazo como si ya estuvieras allí.
Y unirme totalmente a ti.
Nunca permitas que me separen de ti.

El Bautismo del Señor
Hoy es la fiesta del bautismo de Nuestro Señor por Juan el Bautismo. Los católicos romanos
deben ser cristianos comprometidos. Esto requiere una apertura a la conversión en vivo a
medida que Cristo cobra vida en nosotros. Practicamos nuestro modo de vida cristiano con
nuestros compañeros feligreses. Pertenecemos a una comunidad de fe en Jesucristo. Aquí
criamos a nuestros hijos comenzando con su bautismo y los sellamos con espíritu Santo en
confirmación y celebramos la Eucaristía que es "la fuente y la cumbre de nuestra fe".
Todo esto suena tan edificante, tan bueno. Pero... hoy leemos y escuchamos acerca de
"bautizados incrédulos". Una aparente contradicción: personas que pasan por los movimientos
de la religión, pero que no han experimentado la conversión personal que altera la vida que es
esencial. Se dijo con razón después de que el Concilio Vaticano terminó y se estableció un
nuevo curso que la tarea de la iglesia entonces era convertir a los bautizados.
La pregunta se hace: ¿Por qué no bautizamos a las personas cuando tienen la edad suficiente
para elegir por sí mismas? ¿Nuestra respuesta? Criar a un niño religiosamente neutral requiere
que seamos religiosamente neutrales. Significaría que nuestros hijos vivieran entre nosotros
como no cristianos. Además, sería una tensión psicológica imposible, impedida por la
naturaleza misma de la fe y el compromiso que la fe requiere. Sería como no inmunizar a su
hijo espiritualmente. Más tarde, pueden repudiar su bautismo, pero no pueden objetar más
tarde a haber sido bautizados más de lo que pueden objetar a que sus padres creen un fondo
fiduciario educativo, si más tarde deciden en contra de la educación superior.
Hoy es el último día de Navidad en la liturgia. Mañana comienza el "tiempo ordinario". La
verdadera vida cristiana no se vive en los tiempos más espectaculares de Navidad y Pascua,
sino en los largos caminos intermedios. El tiempo ordinario nos proporciona el tiempo para ser
fieles a nuestra promesa, fieles a nuestro sacramento del bautismo - nuestra vocación: la gente
ordinaria que vive como cristianos católicos extraordinarios.
La fiesta de este fin de semana del Bautismo de Nuestro Señor es un llamado a cada uno de
nosotros a renovar las promesas de nuestro bautismo de caminar con Nuestro Señor resucitado
todos los días en las circunstancias ordinarias de nuestra vida diaria. Para ello necesitamos el
testimonio de los demás al edificar el Cuerpo de Cristo dando testimonio de su presencia en el
mundo de hoy.
