CYCLE C

Baptism of the Lord

A fter all the people had been baptized and Jesus

also had been baptized and was praying,

heaven was opened." What a treat to be in that

crowd! Just imagine the experience of

witnessing this manifestation of divinity! To SEE the Holy Spirit "in bodily form

like a dove" and to hear the voice that "came from heaven" announcing Jesus' true

identity. Don't we all long for this kind of miraculous clarity? Wouldn't it do wonders

for our faith if we had such unmistakable certainty about who Jesus really is?

It's easy to imagine that the first Christians had it easier than we do. They

got to be with Jesus in person, and to witness the miracles that went along with his

years on earth. Because of this, we can quickly forget the benefits we enjoy that they

did not. We live on the other side of the Resurrection, for example. The first

followers of Christ believed in him BEFORE he rose from the dead. We, on the other

hand, have the confidence of knowing that this man literally conquered death. We

also have two millennia of Christian witness through the saints to pull upon. The first

Christians had no idea what this new religion would produce, how many people

would embrace it, or how it would change the world for the better. We know that

Christianity has been fruitful beyond measure.

Today's Gospel informs us that it was only after they were baptized that

the people witnessed the opening of heaven. Even Jesus himself was baptized before

he heard this earthly confirmation of his heavenly origin. We who have been

baptized, following the example of Christ, also have "access" to the voice of God. In

the silence of our hearts, and through God's word in the Bible (another advantage

we enjoy), heaven is "opened" for us as well.
