BAPTISM
OF
THE LORD
“After 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.

JUBILEE YEAR
OF MERCY
The ultimate goal of the Year of Mercy is to
help us change our hearts and our lives.There
is a tremendous need for mercy in our world
today. Pope Francis wants our parishes to
becom e “islan ds of mercy i n a sea of
indifference.” He wants us to bring “consolation
to the poor...liberty to those bound by new
forms of slavery in our modern society,” spiritual
sight to those who have lost touch with God,
and human dignity to those from whom it has
been taken. During the Year of Mercy, visit a
pilgrimage site to obtain indulgences: St.
John’s Cathedral, Fresno; Our Lady of Mercy,
Merced; St. Joachim, Madera; St. Anthony of
Padua, Reedley; Immaculate Heart of Mary,
Hanford; St. Aloysius, Tulare; Shrine of Our
Lady of Guadalupe, Bakersfield; St. Therese,
Shafter; St. Ann, Ridgecrest.

EL BAUTISMO DEL SEÑOR
La fiesta del Bautismo del Señor es la última del tiempo
navideño. En ella se expresa, como en la Epifanía, que Jesús,
ese Niño, envuelto en pañales y recostado en un pesebre es la
manifestación de Dios mismo entre nosotros. Durante la
Navidad vivimos un tiempo extraordinario; parece que el mundo
se detenga y aprenda a hacer el bien. La alegría es desbordante,
las personas se encuentran, se reconcilian, se dan regalos. El
ambiente en la liturgia es de gozo, de ternura y sencillez. El evangelista Lucas, presentando la
predicación del Bautista, nos enfoca en una doble observación. El pueblo estaba en expectación.
De hecho la gente creía que Juan era el Mesías. Pero Juan aclara y encamina hacia el verdadero
Mesías con su propio testimonio.
Hoy es un domingo que nos llena de nostalgia invitándonos al equilibrio entre la Navidad
que termina y que tiene un sentido extraordinario y la entrada al ciclo ordinario; en la liturgia
empezaremos a seguir al Señor en la normalidad de la vida cotidiana. Pero antes de eso vale la
pena detenernos y pensar en la importancia de nuestro propio bautismo. ¿Te has dado cuenta de
que eres hijo, hija de Dios? ¿Sabes lo que quiere decir seguir al Mesías? ¿Comprendes el
compromiso de estar vinculados a la misión de Jesucristo? Hoy es el día preciso de comenzar de
nuevo, centrarnos en la vida pública de Jesús en sus milagros y su deseo de que el Reino de Dios
se cumpla entre nosotros. Hacer presente a Jesús en el mundo con sencillez y apertura de corazón.
¡Eso hace un verdadero discípulo de Jesucristo!

JUBILEO EXTRAORDINARIO
DE LA MISERICORDIA
“Desde este momento, confiamos este Año
Santo a la Madre de la Misericordia, que
ella pueda volver su mirada fija sobre
nosotros y cuidar nuestra travesía. Nuestro
camino penitencial, nuestra forma de abrir
corazones a lo largo de un año, para recibir
la indulgencia de Dios, para recibir la
misericordia de Dios.” Estas fueron las
palabras que el Papa pronuncio al concluir
la celebracion pentencial en la cual él
anuncio el nuevo Jubileo dedicado a la
misericordia.
