GLENDALE, ARIZONA The Baptism of the Lord January 11, 2015 All you who are thirsty, come to the water! — Isaiah 55:1 PAGE 3 Volume 55 Baptism of the Lord, January 11, 2015 It is fitting that today’s feast of the Baptism of Jesus takes place at the beginning of the New Year, since our New Year’s resolutions are just beginning to encounter the realities of everyday life. Today’s Gospel also represents beginnings. Besides being from the first chapter of Mark’s Gospel, it also summarizes the beginning of Jesus’ public ministry after thirty years of living with his family in Nazareth. Following Jesus’ baptism, Mark reports that “at once Holy Spirit drove him out into the desert.” After this 40 day retreat, Mark shows how Jesus encountered the realities of his everyday life by cramming four events into one day, any one of which would be sufficient enough for us to consider a full day’s work. 1. He called four fishermen to follow him, 2. he cured a demoniac, 3. he healed Simon Peter’s mother-in-law, and 4. in the evening “the whole town was gathered” at his door and he cured many who were sick. Many of us have also returned to our busy lives after the holiday season. Often our good intentions and resolutions get buried under the urgent demands that press in on us. Before we give up on our resolutions or forget about them altogether, let us take heart from two occurrences early in Jesus’ public life and one lesson from a contemporary author. First, from today’s Gospel: When Jesus came out of the water, he heard a great affirmation from his Father, “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.” When we begin a new task, it is important to hear God saying this to us as well. Especially when the demands of daily life threaten our resolve, we need to hear the voice of God affirming us over and over, “You are my beloved daughter (son); with you I am well pleased.” Secondly, from Steven Covey, author of The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, we have the good advice not to let the Most Urgent overcome the Most Important. The most important things to do are what gives strength to our lives and recharges our energies, things like prayer, relationships and keeping our main purpose in mind. If we only respond to the urgent needs of the present, we will increasingly feel controlled and powerless. That brings us back to Jesus. While it was the Holy Spirit that drove him out into the desert, it was for his own good, for he needed to reaffirm his priorities, confirming the Most Important deep in his soul before the urgencies of a needy world pressed on him. In fact, after that very busy day, Mark reports, “rising very early before dawn, (Jesus) left and went off to a deserted place, where he prayed.” Let that be a habit we all develop in this New Year. Deacon Joe Stickney Stewardship Our pilot LightWorks spiritual program beings this Sunday (January 11) at 1:30p.m and there is still time to be involved. This program will be held in two tracks, one in English and one in Vietnamese. If you are interested in enhancing your prayer life, meeting new people, and growing in your faith, please make plans to participate in this special spiritual program. All are welcome! 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. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Cueva PAGE 6 El Bautismo del Señor 11 de enero de 2015 Todos ustedes, los que tienen sed, vengan por agua. — Isaías 55:1 Volume 55 TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE ¿Recuerdas tu bautismo? Permítanme compartir mi testimonio. No recuerdo los eventos del día en que me bautizaron, pero tengo años recordando que, gracias a Dios y mis padres, estoy bautizado. Trato de vivir mi Es apropiado que la fiesta de hoy, del Bautizo de vida recordando mi bautismo, buscando que mi Jesús, ocurra al empezar del nuevo año, puesto que nuestras resoluciones de Año Nuevo encuentran las realidades de la comportamiento sea digno de una persona bautizada. vida diaria. El evangelio de hoy también representa un comienzo. A pesar de ser del primer capítulo del evangelio de San Marcos, este pasaje es también resumen del inicio del ministerio público de Jesús después de treinta años viviendo con su familia en Nazaret. Siguiendo el bautizo, Marcos reporta que “enseguida el Espíritu lo empujo al desierto.” Después de este retiro de 40 días, Marcos demostró como Jesús encontró las realidades de su vida diaria por poner cuatro eventos en un día, para nosotros cualquiera de esos sería suficiente para llevarnos un día entero de trabajo. 1. Llamó a cuatro pescadores que le siguieran, 2. sanó a un hombre que estaba poseído por un espíritu malo, 3. curó a la suegra de Simón Pedro, y 4. antes del atardecer, “el pueblo entero estaba reunida ante la puerta. Jesús sanó a muchos enfermos.” Muchos de nosotros también hemos regresado a nuestras vidas ocupadas después de los días festivos. Muchas veces, nuestras intenciones buenas y resoluciones se ahogan bajo las exigencias urgentes que nos presionan. Antes de abandonar nuestras resoluciones u olvidarlas, reflexionemos sobre dos eventos tempraneros en la vida pública de Jesús y una enseñanza de un autor contemporáneo. Primero del evangelio de hoy. Cuando Jesús salió del agua, oyó una afirmación grande de su Padre, “tu eres mi hijo, el Amado, mi Elegido.” Cuando empezamos un trabajo nuevo, es importante oír que Dios Padre nos diga lo mismo. Especialmente cuando las exigencias de la vida diaria amenazan nuestra determinación, hay que oír la voz de Dios repitiendo una y otra vez, “tu eres mi hija, mi hijo, el Amado, mi Elegido.” Segundo, tenemos un buen consejo de Esteban Covey, autor de Los Siete Hábitos de la Gente Altamente Efectiva. Él nos aconseja que no permitamos que las cosas más urgentes dominen las más importantes. Las cosas más importantes nos animan y recargan nuestros esfuerzos, cosas como la oración, las amistades y teniendo en cuenta nuestro propósito de la vida. Si solamente respondemos a las exigencias urgentes del presente, nos sentiremos más y más controlados y desamparados. Por eso, regresamos a Jesús. Puesto que el Espíritu Santo le empujo al desierto, era para el beneficio de Jesús, porque necesitaba reafirmar sus prioridades, confirmando en su alma las cosas más importantes antes que dejarse presionar por las urgencias del mundo empobrecido. De hecho, después de ese día muy ocupado, Mark cuenta, “De madrugada, Jesús se levantó, salió y se fue a un lugar solitario. Allí se puso a orar,” En el Nuevo Ano, imitemos a Jesús, resolvemos desarrollar este hábito de orar. Diacono, Joe Stickney Fui bautizado al mes de haber nacido, y confirmado cuando tenía sólo un añito (eran otros tiempos). Hice mi primera (y no última) comunión a los siete años. Continuaba asistiendo a las clases de catecismo (doctrina), no obstante, cuando cumplí 17 años, sentí que algo me faltaba. Mis amigos protestantes me invitaban a sus Iglesias, pero yo buscaba a Dios en mi Iglesia católica. Un día, gracias al grupo carismático recibí el bautismo en el Espíritu Santo y desde ese momento mi vida cambió. Ahora sé que el Espíritu lo había recibido en mi Bautismo, Confirmación y Primera Comunión, lo único que debía hacer era permitirle actuar en mi vida. Creo que en la vida de muchos cristianos, el Espíritu Santo sigue esperando que le den permiso de actuar. Y tú, ¿qué esperas? Pídele al Espíritu que se mueva en tí y vive tu Bautismo. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
