The Baptism of the Lord/El Bautismo del Senor
Reflexionemos sobre la Palabra de Dios
Éste es uno de los momentos clave en la vida de Jesús. En
su propia ciudad de Nazaret, ubicada al norte, él debió haber oído hablar de Juan. En algún momento debió haber
escuchado una voz interior que le decía: “Dirígete hacia el
sur, ve al desierto. Ve a escuchar a este predicador Juan”.
Cuando llegó al desierto es probable que haya estado esperando en una larga fila antes de que llegara el momento de
entrar en el agua y que Juan lo bautizara. Marcos nos hace
sólo un recuento brevísimo de tal encuentro, pero nos describe a Juan como esperando a alguien más poderoso que
él, que bautizará con el Espíritu Santo.
Es este mismo Espíritu Santo que descendió sobre Jesús en
cuanto salió del agua. En ese momento se abrieron los cielos, el cielo bajó a tocar al galileo y el Espíritu bajó sobre
él como una paloma. ¿Has visto alguna vez una gaviota
descender para arrebatar un pez o a un halcón precipitarse
de picada para agarrar su presa? En contraste, una paloma
que desciende es una imagen de belleza y gracia, y de posarse suavemente.
Las palabras de hoy no anuncian a Cristo a los demás, como sucede en la versión de Mateo, sino que se enuncian
sólo para Jesús: “Tú eres mi Hijo amado, en ti me complazco” (1:11), haciendo eco de las palabras que el Señor
dice en el primer cántico del Siervo en el libro de Isaías.
El descenso de la paloma no quiso significar una vida fácil
para Jesús, sino más bien que Dios había penetrado el ser
de Jesús de tal manera que lo llevaría hasta el desierto para
comenzar su misión de confrontar los poderes del pecado y
de la muerte. Esta gentil paloma vino —y continúa viniendo— con intenso poder.
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.

Reflecting on God’s Word
This is one of the key moments in the life of Jesus. Up north
in his hometown of Nazareth he must have heard about
John. At some point an inner voice must have said, “Go
south, go to the desert. Go listen to this preacher John.”
When he came to the desert, he may have stood in a long
line before that moment came when he entered the water
and John baptized him. Mark gives us only the briefest account of their meeting, but does present John as expecting
someone mightier than he who would baptize with the Holy
Spirit.
It is this same Holy Spirit who came down on Jesus as he
was coming out of the water. At that moment, the heavens
were torn open, heaven reached down to touch the Galilean,
and the Spirit descended like a dove. Have you ever seen a
gull descend to snatch a fish or a hawk swoop down to seize
its prey? By contrast, the image of a descending dove is one
of beauty and grace, of gentle alighting.
The words do not announce Jesus to others, as in Matthew’s
account, but they are spoken only to him: “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased” (1:11), echoing the
words the Lord speaks in the first song of the Servant in the
book of Isaiah.
The descent of the dove did not mean an easy life for Jesus,
but God had penetrated his being in a way that would then
drive him into the desert to begin his mission of confronting
the powers of sin and death. This gentle dove came—and
continues to come—with a mighty power.
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.
