The Baptism of the Lord
January 11, 2015
All you who are thirsty, come to the water!
— Isaiah 55:1
THE WATERS OF BAPTISM
When new sod is put in, it needs constant saturation with water. Landscapers say that
this “knits” the sod to the soil. The same when a branch is grafted onto a tree: the poultice
that joins them at the splice must be kept wet at all times. Water is the stuff that binds the
very cells of our bodies together. No wonder religions throughout all times and cultures have
used it so prominently. When Jesus stepped into the Jordan for baptism, he “knit” himself to what had come before
him. By going to the Jordan, he made himself one with the people of Israel who had crossed it into their Promised
Land. With John the Baptist, Christ wove himself into the prophetic tradition that heralded the coming reign of God.
He had become fully human in the waters of Mary’s womb, and by partaking in the rite of the baptism of repentance,
Jesus identified himself with our sinful, frail humanity. It is through the waters of baptism that Christ continues to graft
new members onto his Body, the Church; through these waters we are cleansed from sin and filled with the promise of
grace, given our destiny for eternal life. For us, as for Jesus, it is also the waters of baptism that inaugurate our mission
to proclaim the Good News.

SHOCK & HORROR
Today, Wednesday, January 7th, I turned on
“Morning Joe” on MSNBC and I saw the carnage from
Eastern Paris. It is sad to see people attacked and
murdered for having a different viewpoint from the
attackers. Terrorists don’t need an excuse. This time
editors, staff and innocent bystanders were killed.
We should not be violent towards people
who disagree with us. Viewpoints are just viewpoints
and are not what everyone believes. Freedom of
expression and freedom of the press are important in a
civilized society. It is when individuals and countries don’t
allow free speech that this sometimes leads to carnage.
Democracy allows discussion, not violence.
Everyone has access to prayer and God. This
should lead to empowerment and not down the road to
violence. True religion makes us better people. Our Catholic Faith preaches non-violence . . .
unless it is to defend life. Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ entered the world to bring peace and
brotherhood. To know how Christ wants us to live . . . . we have to go no further than praying
“The Our Father”.
God Bless,
Fr. Mike

El Bautismo del Señor
11 de enero de 2015
Todos ustedes, los que tienen sed,
vengan por agua.
— Isaías 55:1
LAS AGUAS BAUTISMALES
Cuando se planta un césped nuevo, debe regarse constantemente. Los jardineros dicen que esto “teje” el césped al
suelo. Lo mismo sucede cuando se injerta una rama a un árbol: el cataplasma que los une debe estar húmedo en todo
momento. El agua es lo que mantiene unidas a las células de nuestro cuerpo. Con razón las religiones de todas las
épocas y culturas han usado tanto este símbolo. Cuando Jesús se sumerge en el Jordán para ser bautizado, se “teje” a
todo aquello que lo precedía. Al sumergirse en el Jordán, se hizo uno con el pueblo de Israel que había cruzado el río
para llegar a su Tierra Prometida. Junto a Juan Bautista, Cristo se tejió a la tradición profética que presagiaba la venida
del Reino de Dios. Jesús se había convertido plenamente en humano en las aguas del vientre de María y al participar
del rito del Bautismo del arrepentimiento, se sintió identificado con nuestra frágil y pecaminosa humanidad. Por las
aguas del Bautismo Cristo continúa injertando nuevos miembros a su Cuerpo, la Iglesia; gracias a nuestro destino de
vida eterna, por estas aguas somos limpiados del pecado y recibimos la promesa de la gracia. Para nosotros, como para
Jesús, las aguas bautismales también inauguran nuestra misión de proclamar la Buena Nueva.

A little boy said to the priest in the classroom, “I know God’s name. . . .It’s Peter”.
“Why is that?” said the Priest. “Well”, said the boy. “At our Church our Priest says
“Go the Mass is ended”, and everyone says “Thanks Peter God”.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
An old lady came home from Church and found a burglar in her house. At the top of
Her lungs she yelled “Acts 2:38…..repent and be baptized in the Name of Jesus
Christ for the forgiveness of your sins!”
The burglar froze and stood motionless while she called the cops.
When the cops arrived they arrested the burglar and asked him why he froze at a
“Bible verse?”
The burglar said “Bible Verse?....I thought she said she had an axe and two 38’s:”.
