The Baptism of the Lord
Page 2
The Baptism of the Lord
January 10, 2016
He saved us through the bath of rebirth
and renewal by the Holy Spirit.
— Titus 3:5
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).

The Baptism of the Lord
Page 4
Writing this article was kind of bittersweet as it is the
first of the New Year and also going to be my last. I have
been reassigned as associate priest at St. Joseph’s Parish in
Lincoln and this weekend is my last here at St. Teresa’s. Six
months isn’t a long time for sure albeit meaningful in so many
ways. I am grateful for the warm hospitality and the genuine
kindness you’ve all shown to me and the great enthusiasm
and love you have for the Lord. It was truly inspiring to see
and to behold. To Father Mike and the staff, I wish to thank
you as well and wish you nothing but the very best moving
forward and into whatever roads life may take you.
Life is a journey as they say but sometimes we may
feel alone in it. I have been away from home for 13 years and
have spent 13 Christmases and New Years only with friends
and a few distant relatives. Although sometimes I feel envious of families coming together for mass
while I’m still thinking where to go, there has never been any time in my own recollection where I
haven’t had any invitations from people. “Father, if you have nowhere to go this Christmas, we’ll be
pleased to have you join us.” A phrase that has already become familiar to me all these years.
Such great love makes up for everything and I simply forget the sadness I feel being away from my
family.
In this New Year, I’d like to encourage you all to have a renewed sense of hope and love for
your families. In the Jubilee Year of Mercy, may you also have the forgiveness in your own hearts
for whatever shortcomings or misgivings anyone may have done. No family is perfect and each has
its own struggles but as the saying goes, “Who else do we have in the end but them?” Family is
family and love will always be there. Or as one beautifully puts it “Family is like branches in a tree,
we all grow in different directions, yet our roots remain as one.”
Wishing you all a grace-filled New Year! Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Sincerely,
Father Roland

Giggles:
A man walked into a Doctor’s office and the receptionist asked him what he had.
He said, “Shingles.” So she took his name, address, and his medical insurance
coverage, and asked him to take a seat. Fifteen minutes later a nurse came out and
asked him what he had. He answered, “Shingles.” So she took his complete medical
history, took his blood pressure and temperature . . . .she showed him into the
Doctor’s office and told him to take off all his clothes. Fifteen minutes later the
Doctor came in and asked what he had. He said, “Shingles.” The Doctor said,
“Where?” He said, “Outside in the truck, where do you want them?”

“Why did you kick your brother in the stomach?”
“He turned around.”

Jimmy handed the following excuse to his teacher from his Dad. “Please excuse
Jimmy for being late this morning. He had a new baby brother. It was not his fault”.

El Bautismo del Señor
10 de enero de 2016
Lo hizo mediante el bautismo,
que nos regenera y nos renueva,
por la acción del Espíritu Santo.
— Tito 3:5
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 bautismo.
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 relato de Lucas del bautismo del Señor el Espíritu Santo desciende sobre Jesús. Y la carta a
Tito nos recuerda que el Espíritu Santo también “derramó con abundancia” sobre nosotros, el “baño de
regeneración” (Tito 3:5, 6).

LECTURAS DE HOY

mis complacencias (Isaías 42:1-4, 6-7) o Isaías 40:1-5,

104 (103).
Segunda lectura — Dios ungió con el Espíritu Santo a

se abrió (Lucas 3:15-16, 21-22).

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
La costumbre del bautismo infantil debe ser mucho más que un acto social o una tradición
cultural, donde el ropón y los regalos son más importantes que la doctrina cristiana, y los padrinos
se escogen no por su buen ejemplo sino por su cuenta bancaria.
Según los Hechos de los Apóstoles, familias enteras se bautizaban cuando el padre de familia
decidía hacerse cristiano. Esta práctica de bautizar, no solo al nuevo creyente sino también a su
mujer y a sus hijos, poco a poco, quedó solo en bautizar los niños del original creyente. El mundo
en aquel tiempo estaba basado sobre la familia así como muchas culturas latinas de hoy.
El bautizo infantil nació en la Iglesia primitiva y al pasar de los siglos llegó a transformarse en
un rito religioso muy importante en la catequesis del nuevo cristiano. El niño viste de ropita blanca
que recuerda la presencia de Cristo en su alma, se le regala una vela que lo invita a brillar con la
luz de Cristo y se le da una madrina o un padrino que le enseñará a vivir en Cristo.
