Executive Director
Safeguarding Children and
Addressing Abuse:
The Archdiocese Addresses Victims’ Concerns
— Since his arrival in 2001 and his
participation in the drafting of the Charter for
the Protection of Children and Young People,
Archbishop Myers has on many occasions
either individually or with bishops in the
United States, with the Holy Father, and with
clergy throughout the world, acknowledged
publicly the pain that sexual offenders inside
the Church have inflicted on the innocent. At
Chrism Masses before the entire presbyterate
and parish representatives of the Archdiocese,
in media interviews, in statements issued by
the United States Conference of Catholic
Bishops, and in essays and columns,
Archbishop Myers has stated that “a Church
which spends the largest portion of its
resources and the largest portion of its
personnel in serving children, can never, and
will never, condone anything which harms
those children. We also extend our apology
and our assurance of support and help to
those who have been harmed and who are
seeking healing and support.”
Beyond words, however, are actions.
Assistance to victims, training and background
checks of staff and volunteers, reporting
accusations to civil authorities removing clergy
with substantiated accusations are clear
indications that the Archbishop and the
Archdiocese abhor child abuse. What’s more,
20 years ago, the Archdiocese was one of the
first dioceses in the country to establish a
formal Review Board of experts with legal, law
enforcement, clinical and investigative
background to examine allegations of abuse
and recommend to the Archbishop action
under Church law.
The Archdiocese takes very seriously any and
all allegations of sexual misconduct by
members of the clergy, Religious and lay staff
of the Archdiocese. We encourage anyone
with knowledge of an act of sexual misconduct
to inform us immediately so that we may take
appropriate action to protect others and
provide support to victims of sexual abuse.
Individuals who wish to report an allegation of
sexual misconduct may do so by calling the
Archdiocesan Office of Child and Youth
Protection at 201-407-3256.

Background on the Gospel
Reading
This Sunday we break from our reading of
Matthew's Gospel (the primary Gospel for our
current liturgical cycle, Cycle A) to read from
John's Gospel. We heard Matthew's account
of Jesus' baptism last Sunday, on the feast of
the Baptism of the Lord. Today, we hear John
the Baptist's testimony about Jesus as found
in John's Gospel. John's Gospel differs from
the other Gospels because John does not
describe Jesus' baptism by John the Baptist.
Instead, John the Baptist announces that he
knows that Jesus is the Son of God.
In today's reading, John the Baptist sees Jesus
approaching and cries out, giving witness
about who Jesus is. In John's testimony he
says that he saw the Spirit descend upon
Jesus. By this sign, John the Baptist knew that
Jesus was the one who is to come after him.
John the Baptist uses two titles for Jesus that
are familiar to us. John calls Jesus the “Lamb
of God” and the “Son of God.” By using these
titles, John the Baptist identifies Jesus'
ultimate purpose: to redeem sinful humanity.
John the Baptist's testimony about Jesus
clearly distinguishes John's baptism from the
Baptism that Jesus will inaugurate. John
baptizes with water; Jesus will baptize with
the Holy Spirit. John also puts his practice of
baptism in the context of Jesus' ministry. The
purpose of John's baptism was to make Jesus
known to Israel.
John the Baptist's sense of purpose is clearly
identified in this reading: he baptized in order
to prepare for and make known the ministry
of the One who was to follow. John's witness
is an excellent example of what it means to be
a disciple. By our Baptism, we are called to
make Jesus known to all the world by our
words and by the witness of our lives.
Reflexión sobre el Evangelio
Este domingo empezamos con nuestra lectura
del Evangelio de Mateo (el Evangelio primario
de nuestro ciclo litúrgico actual, Ciclo A) para
leer del Evangelio de Juan. Oímos el relato de
Mateo sobre el bautismo de Jesús el domingo
pasado, en la fiesta del Bautismo del Señor.
Hoy, escuchamos el testimonio de Juan el
Bautista acerca de Jesús como se encuentra
en el Evangelio de Juan. El Evangelio de Juan
difiere de los otros Evangelios porque Juan no
describe el bautismo de Jesús por Juan el
Bautista. En cambio, Juan el Bautista anuncia
que sabe que Jesús es el Hijo de Dios.
En la lectura de hoy, Juan el Bautista ve a
Jesús acercarse y grita, dando testimonio
acerca de quién es Jesús. En el testimonio de
Juan dice que él vio el Espíritu descender
sobre Jesús. Por este signo, Juan el Bautista
sabía que Jesús era el que vendría después de
él.
Juan el Bautista usa dos títulos para Jesús que
nos son familiares. Juan llama a Jesús el
"Cordero de Dios" y el "Hijo de Dios". Usando
estos títulos, Juan el Bautista identifica el
propósito último de Jesús: redimir a la
humanidad pecadora.
El testimonio de Juan el Bautista sobre Jesús
distingue claramente el bautismo de Juan del
Bautismo que Jesús inaugurará. Juan bautiza
con agua; Jesús bautizará en el Espíritu Santo.
Juan también pone su práctica del bautismo
en el contexto del ministerio de Jesús. El
propósito del bautismo de Juan fue hacer
conocer a Jesús a Israel.
El sentido de propósito de Juan el Bautista
está claramente identificado en esta lectura:
bautizó para preparar y dar a conocer el
ministerio de Aquel que debía seguir. El
testimonio de Juan es un excelente ejemplo
de lo que significa ser discípulo. Por nuestro
Bautismo, estamos llamados a hacer conocer
a Jesús a todo el mundo con nuestras palabras
y con el testimonio de nuestras vidas.
