ASSOCIATE PASTOR’S MESSAGE 3
oday the Church celebrates the Baptism of the Lord. As the gospels relate, Jesus was bap-tized by John the Baptist in the Jordan river. Christ’s baptism was the beginning of His public ministry and took place when “he was about thirty years of age” (Lk 3:23).
The Baptism of the Lord is often seen in relation to the Sacrament of Baptism. Pope Fran-cis spoke about this in a homily given on the occasion of the Baptism of the Lord in 2014:
“Jesus did not need to be baptized, but the first theologians say that, with his body, with his divinity, in baptism he blessed all the waters, so that the waters would have the power to confer baptism. And then, before ascending to Heaven, Jesus told us to go into all the world to baptize. And from that day forward up until today, this has been an uninterrupted chain: they baptized
their children, and their children their own, and those children... And also today this chain continues.”
In his homily on the Feast of Baptism of the Lord in 2009, Pope Benedict XVI pointed that baptism unites us to Jesus:
“[B]y immersion in the waters of the Jordan, Jesus united himself with us. Baptism is, so to speak, the bridge he built between himself and us, the road on which he makes himself accessible to us. It is the divine rainbow over our lives, the promise of God's great ‘yes’, the door of hope and, at the same time, the sign that indicates to us the path to take actively and joyfully in order to encounter him and feel loved by him.”
Although the Sacrament of Baptism is seen in relation to Christ’s baptism, the two are quite different. St. John Paul II, referring to the Sacrament of Baptism, says:
“This Baptism frees man from original sin and forgives his sins, saves him from slavery to evil and is a sign of his rebirth in the Holy Spirit; it imparts to him a new life, which is participation in the life of God the Father, given to us by his Only-Begotten Son who became man, died and rose again.” (Homily of Sunday, 12 January 1997)
The rite of the Sacrament of Baptism incorporates many symbolic elements that convey how God works in the soul of a person being baptized. St. John Paul II explained them saying:
“They will be anointed with the oil of catechumens, the sign of Christ's gentle strength, given to them to fight against evil. Blessed water will be poured over them, an effective sign of interior purification through the gift of the Holy Spirit. They will then be anointed with chrism to show that they are thus consecrated in the image of Jesus, the Father's Anointed One. The candle lighted from the paschal candle is a symbol of the light of faith which their parents and godparents must continually safeguard and nourish with the life-giving grace of the Spirit.” (Homily of Sunday, 7 January 2001)
Happy Feast of the Baptism of the Lord, Fr. Richard A. Yevchak, IVE

PHÚC ÂM: Lc 3, 15-16. 21-22
"Khi Chúa Giêsu đã chịu phép rửa và đang cầu nguyện
thì trời mở ra".
Tin Mừng Chúa Giêsu Kitô theo Thánh Luca.
Khi ấy, trong lúc dân chúng đang mong đợi, và mọi
người tự hỏi trong lòng rằng: "Gioan có phải là Đấng
Kitô không?", Gioan lên tiếng bảo mọi người rằng:
"Phần tôi, tôi rửa anh em trong nước, nhưng Đấng cao
trọng hơn tôi đang đến, và tôi không xứng đáng cởi dây
giày cho Người, chính Người sẽ rửa anh em trong Chúa
Thánh Thần và trong lửa!"
Vậy khi tất cả dân chúng đã chịu phép rửa, và chính lúc
Chúa Giêsu cũng đã chịu phép rửa xong, Người đang
cầu nguyện, thì trời mở ra và Thánh Thần Chúa ngự
xuống trên Người dưới hình chim bồ câu, và có tiếng từ
trời phán: "Con là Con yêu dấu của Cha, Con đẹp lòng
Cha". Đó là lời Chúa.

Do you encourage your children to think of Church ministry as a possible life choice? The Mankato Serra Club works to affirm and promote reli-gious vocations and meets on the 1st and 3rd Tues-day of every month for more information call 507.696.8119.

The Prepared
Environment/The Atrium
The atrium is one of the elements that helps the relationship between God and the child to flourish. After a theme has been presented, the child is
free to choose an activity that will make possible the in-ner dialogue with the “Interior Teacher.”
The atrium is a place of work which becomes a con-versation with God.
The atrium was the place in the early church where the catechumens were prepared. For the child, too, the atrium is a place of preparation for involvement in the larger worshiping community.

EL BAUTISMO DEL SENOR 10 DE ENERO 2016
MANIFESTANDO AL ESPÍRITU El tiempo de Navidad finaliza este domingo con el Bautismo del Señor. Esta fiesta es hermana de la fiesta de la semana pasada, la Epifanía. Cada una ellas celebra una “epifanía”, o manifestación del Espíritu de Dios en Jesús —primero en su nacimiento y ahora en su bautis-mo. El Espíritu Divino se manifiesta en todas las lecturas bíblicas de la fiesta. El Salmo 104 destaca al Espíritu de Dios que crea y renueva la tierra, mientras que la lectura de Isaías describe a Dios restaurando a Israel. En el rela-to de Lucas del bautismo del Señor el Espíritu Santo des-ciende sobre Jesús. Y la carta a Tito nos recuerda que el Espíritu Santo también “derramó con abundancia” sobre nosotros, el “baño d e regeneración” (Tito 3:5, 6). Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Sabia que?
El santo Bautismo es el fundamento de toda la vida cristiana, el pórtico de la vida en el espíritu ("vitae spiritualis ianua") y la puerta que abre el acceso a los otros sacramentos. Por el Bautismo somos lib-erados del pecado y regenerados como hijos de Dios, llegamos a ser miembros de Cristo y somos incorporados a la Iglesia y hechos partícipes de su ("El bautis-mo es el sacramento del nuevo nacimiento por el agua y la palabra": Catecismo Romano 2,2,5).
