The Baptism of the Lord • January 10, 2016
J
ubilee Year of Mercy
January 10, 2016 • The Baptism of the Lord
Fittingly, this Jubilee Year of Mercy is also
the Lectionary’s Year of Luke, for Luke’s
Gospel highlights God’s mercy in finding
the lost, healing the sick, restoring the
broken, comforting the sorrowful,
forgiving the sinner through Jesus’
ministry. But before doing, Luke’s
Jesus is always praying. As practical
moderns programmed to measure
worth by productivity, we instinctively
appreciate the Jubilee’s call to embrace the
practical challenges of our baptism. But today Luke
focuses not on Jesus being baptized, but on Jesus
praying after baptism. So must we pray to become
the disciples we are called to be, that the Spirit
empower us to do what disciples are called to do.
Imitating Jesus’ openness to the Spirit will enable
us to cooperate with the grace that transforms us
into “beloved sons [and daughters] . . . in whom the
Father is well pleased,” living out, in this Jubilee Year
of Mercy, the extraordinary potential of our baptism.

MANIFESTING THE SPIRIT
The Christmas season closes
this Sunday with the Baptism of
the Lord. This feast is a sister to
last week’s feast of the Epiphany.
Each of them celebrates an
“epiphany,” or a manifestation of the Spirit of God in
Jesus—first in his birth, and now at his baptism.
The divine Spirit is manifested in all of the scriptures
for this feast. Psalm 104 highlights the Spirit of God
creating and renewing the earth, while the reading from
Isaiah describes God restoring Israel. In Luke’s account
of the baptism of the Lord the Holy Spirit descends upon
Jesus. And the letter to Titus reminds us that the Holy
Spirit was “richly poured out” on us also, through the
“bath of rebirth” (Titus 3:5, 6).

A great opportunity has come to our Parish.
The Museum committee in our on going efforts to teach about the
history of our Mission would like to add a replica of an 1800’s caretta
to our patio area. We have found a local craftsman who can make
it for us but we need to purchase supplies and pay for his labor.
During Colonial times the carreta was used to transport goods and
people from one Mission to another. It enabled a flourishing trade
to develop within California. The carreta will enable visitors and
parishioners alike the opportunity to
visualize and appreciate the struggle of
those pioneers who came to California as
priests, soldiers, and settlers.
We need your help to raise funds for this
historic Mission project. All donations
will be greatly and graciously accepted.
Siempre adalante,

Care for Creation
Rain – Praise God! Although we are expecting a lot of
rain, we are still in a drought so keep up your water conserving
activities like short showers, catching the water as you wait
for the water to warm up, shutting off the faucet when you
brush teeth and wash dishes, not to mention to turn off your
irrigation. Every drop really does count!

The Baptism of the Lord
Jesus came to the Jordan River to
be baptized by John. At first John
objected and said that it was he,
John, who should be baptized
by Jesus. Jesus indicated a future
baptism when he responded to John
saying that it was fitting for John to
baptize Jesus. John acquiesced and
at the conclusion of the baptism,
the Spirit came down from heaven
in the form of a dove and clearly
announced Jesus as his son. God
was pleased with His son.
Reflection question:
Adult: Do you think that God was
“well pleased” by your actions in
recent weeks? Why?
Child: What good thing could you
do this week that would be pleasing
to God?
Reflection and questions from RCL Benziger.

We meet for FF this weekend.
Don’t forget retreat for second year
sacramental prep children on Jan.
31. Location: MCP.
This will start a series on creating a
family culture of spirituality from
Catechetical Leader magazine,
Nov. 2015 “Create a family culture
of spirituality” by Patricia M.
McCormack, IHM
Consider having a prayer center
at home – in a windowsill, by the
TV, a spot on a shelf, landing on a
stairway… You might include a
statue (like of Mary), a bible, a rosary,
flowers, a cloth to match the liturgical
season (right now we’re white - next
week begins green). This is a great
visual reminder to pray.

LA VOZ LATINA
Fiesta del Bautismo del Señor
hacer una buena confesión y
¿Cómo
ganar la indulgencia jubilar?
Primera Parte: ¿Por qué confesarse?
Todos tenemos muchas cosas buenas…, pero al mismo
tiempo, la presencia del mal en nuestra vida es un
hecho: somos limitados, tenemos una cierta inclinación
al mal y nos ganan los defectos; como consecuencia de
esto nos equivocamos, cometemos errores y pecados.
Esto es evidente y Dios lo sabe. De nuestra parte, tonto
sería negarlo. En realidad… sería peor que tonto…
San Juan dice que “si decimos que no tenemos pecado,
nos engañamos y la verdad no está en nosotros. Si
confesamos nuestros pecados, fiel y justo es El para
perdonar nuestros pecados y purificarnos de toda
injusticia (1 Jn 1, 9-10).
De aquí que una de las cuestiones más importantes de
nuestra vida sea ¿cómo conseguir “deshacernos” de
lo malo que hay en nosotros? ¿De las cosas malas que
hemos dicho o de las que hemos hecho mal? Esta es
una de las principales tareas que tenemos entre manos:
purificar nuestra vida de lo que no es bueno, sacar lo
que está podrido, limpiar lo que está sucio, librarnos
de todo lo que no queremos de nuestro pasado. ¿Pero
cómo hacerlo?
No se puede volver al pasado, para vivirlo de manera
diferente… Sólo Dios puede renovar nuestra vida con
su perdón. Y Él quiere hacerlo… hasta el punto que el
perdón de los pecados ocupa un lugar muy importante
en nuestras relaciones con Dios.
Como Dios respeta nuestra libertad, el único requisito
que exige es que nosotros queramos ser perdonados:
es decir, rechacemos el pecado cometido (esto es el
arrepentimiento) y queramos no volver a cometerlo.
¿Cómo nos pide que mostremos nuestra buena voluntad?
A través de un gran regalo que Dios nos ha hecho.
En su misericordia infinita nos dio un instrumento
que no falla en reparar todo lo malo que podamos
haber hecho. Se trata del sacramento de la penitencia.
Sacramento al que un gran santo llamaba el sacramento
de la alegría, porque en él se revive la parábola del hijo
prodigo, y termina en una gran fiesta en los corazones
de quienes lo reciben.
La confesión no es algo meramente humano: es un
misterio sobrenatural. Consiste en un encuentro
personal con la misericordia de Dios en la persona de
un sacerdote. Así que confesarse es razonable, no es
un invento absurdo y humanamente tiene muchísimos
beneficios. (Continuará en el próximo boletín)

A
ño Jubilar de la Misericordia
10 de enero de 2016 • Fiesta del Bautismo del Señor
Que providencial que este Año Jubilar de la
Misericordia coincida con el año C del
Leccionario, que es cuando toca leer los
domingos el Evangelio de Lucas el
cual subraya la misericordia de Dios,
encontrando lo perdido, sanando a los
enfermos, restableciendo lo separado,
consolando a los tristes, perdonando
al pecador por medio del ministerio de
Jesús. ¡Pero antes de que esto suceda,
Lucas presenta a Jesús orando! Como
prácticas modernas programadas para
medir el costo por medio de la productividad,
nosotros intuitivamente apreciamos el llamado del
Jubileo incluyendo los desafíos prácticos de nuestro
Bautismo. Pero hoy Lucas se concentra no en que Jesús
se bautiza, sino en Jesús orando después de su bautizo.
Así que debemos orar para convertirnos en los discípulos
a los que estamos llamados a ser, que el Espíritu pueda
empoderarnos hacer lo que los discípulos estamos
llamados a ser. Imitando la apertura de Jesús al Espíritu
nos permitirá cooperar con la gracia que nos transforma
en “amados hijos e hijas” “en quien el Padre se complace”,
viviendo en este Año Jubilar de la Misericordia, el
extraordinario potencial de nuestro Bautismo.
