Water and the Spirit From a sermon on the Epiphany attributed
to Saint Hippolytus, priest and martyr
That Jesus should come and be baptized by John is surely cause for amazement. To think of the infinite river that gladdens the city of God being bathed in a poor little stream of the eternal, the unfathomable fountainhead that gives life to all men being immersed in the shallow waters of this transient world! He who fills all creation, leaving no place devoid of his presence, he who is incomprehensible to the angels and hidden from the sight of man, came to be baptized because it was his will. And behold, the heavens opened and a voice said: “This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased.”
The beloved Father begets love, and spiritual light generates light inaccessible. In his divine nature he is my only Son, though he was known as the son of Joseph. This is my beloved Son. Though hungry himself, he feeds thousands; though weary, he refreshes those who labor. He has no place to lay his head yet holds all creation in his hand. By his passion [inflicted on him by others], he frees us from the passions [unleashed by our disobedience]; by receiving a blow on the cheek he gives the world its liberty; by being pierced in the side he heals

January 24, 2015 Walk For Life-West Coast,
San Francisco
the wound of Adam. I ask you now to pay close attention, for I want to
return to that fountain of life and contemplate its healing waters at their source.
The Father of immortality sent his immortal Son and Word into the world; he came to us men to cleanse us with water and the Spirit. To give us a new birth that would make our bodies and souls immortal, he breathed into us the spirit of life and armed us with incorruptibility. Now if we become immortal, we shall also be divine; and if we become divine after rebirth in baptism through water and the Holy Spirit, we shall also be coheirs with Christ after the resurrection of the dead.
Therefore, in a herald’s voice I cry: Let peoples of every nation come and receive the immortality that flows from baptism. This is the water that is linked to the Spirit, the water that irrigates Paradise, makes the earth fertile, gives growth to plants, and brings forth living creatures. In short, this is the water by which a man receives new birth and life, the water in which even Christ was baptized, the water into which the Holy Spirit descended in the form of a dove. Whoever goes down into these waters of rebirth with faith renounces the devil and pledges himself to Christ. He repudiates the enemy and confesses that Christ is God, throws off his servitude, and is raised to filial status. He comes up from baptism resplendent as the sun, radiant in his purity, but above all, he comes as a son of God and a coheir with Christ. To him and to his most holy and life-giving Spirit be glory and power now and forever. Amen.

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 vida recordando mi bautismo, buscando que mi comporta-miento sea digno de una persona bautizada. 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. Conti-nuaba asistiendo a las clases de catecismo (doctrina), no obstante, cuando cumplí 17 años, sentí que algo me fal-taba. Mis amigos protestantes me invitaban a sus Igle-sias, 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 Bautis-mo, 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
UN ANTIGUO BAUTISTERIO En Roma está uno de los lugares para bautizar más antiguos que ha permanecido a lo largo de los siglos, está en la iglesia de san Giovanni en Fonte. De hecho la iglesia es el bautisterio y ahí está la pila bautismal de la Basílica de Letrán, la catedral de Roma. El emperador romano Constantino patrocino la construcción en el año 315 por lo que lo hace el bautisterio más antiguo del mundo. Su edificación es modelo para todos los bautisterios que se cons-truyeron después, incluyendo quizá la pila bautismal que puede haber en tu propia parroquia. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S.

BOLETIM PORTUGUÊS MISSA DO BAPTIMSO DO
SENHOR Comentário O Batismo de Jesus nas águas do Jordão é uma das três epifanias ou manifestações mais significativas que a liturgia da Igreja celebra. É a partir do batismo no Jordão que começa a verdadeira vida pública de Jesus, sua obra de redenção e salvação. Às margens do rio Jordão, encontramos João Batista que realiza um batismo com água para a remissão dos pecados. Era uma tentativa de começar uma vida nova. De fato, o proceder do batismo simbolizava isso. O ato de mergulhar simboliza a morte provocada pelo dilúvio exterminador. Mas água também simboliza vida. Foi através das águas que os israelitas passaram da escravidão para a vida em liberdade. O rio Jordão, por exemplo, é fonte de vida para o povo de Israel até hoje. A água purifica, limpa a sujeira do passado, faz recomeçar, renascer. O batismo instituído por Jesus realiza-se com o concurso da Trindade: em nome do Pai (voz), do Filho (Jesus) e do Espírito Santo (pomba), restabelecendo para uma vida nova depois de ter libertado definitivamente dos pecados, fazendo renascer pela água e pelo Espírito Santo. É o batismo com o qual obtemos a vida eterna e nos incorporamos como ramos à videira Cristo. Eram muitos os pecadores que vinham até João para se batizarem. E no meio destes vem Jesus. Aí temos algo verdadeiramente novo. João esperava evidentemente que Jesus, quando chegasse, pedisse para parar aquele seu rito agora não mais necessário; porém, fica bastante encucado quando vê que Jesus que não tinha pecado algum pede pra ser batizado. Realmente, como Jesus podia confessar seus pecados e querer uma vida nova?De fato, Jesus, enquanto Deus, vindo ao mundo nos salvar não tinha necessidade alguma de ser batizado e teria o direito de batizar ele mesmo quer a João quer as outras pessoas; porém, se coloca no meio das pessoas que necessitam de conversão para que se cumpra “toda a justiça” (cumprimento da vontade de Deus). Jesus cumpre a vontade do Pai em tudo e isto implica que ele experimente todas as prerrogativas do ser humano fraco, partilhando todo tipo de sentimentos e misérias. É da vontade de Deus que Jesus se faça

solidário com os pecadores. A exegese sempre considerou neste ato de humildade da parte do Senhor um anúncio da salvação operada com a morte de cruz e a ressurreição: no confiar a própria cabeça à água batismal de João, Jesus se humilha, se apaga, se confunde com os pecadores (morte de cruz) para depois ser elevado pelo Pai que o exalta como o “meu Filho amado, no qual eu pus o meu agrado” (ressurreição). Se na morte de cruz, ele leva sobre seus ombros todos os pecados da humanidade, no batismo ele começa a experimentar o peso. Batizando-se, Jesus nos mostra a importância do seu fazer-se homem entre os homens, colocando-se ao lado do fraco. Ele partilha conosco o estado de miséria que o pecado produz, experimenta os sentimentos de abandono e desprezo que causa a passagem do pecado à conversão. Contemplando o abaixamento de Jesus, somos convidados a “morrer para nós mesmos”, a renunciar o nosso orgulho para aderir unicamente a ele e este deve ser o propósito do Sacramento do batismo: “seguir o convite para o batismo significa então entrar no lugar do batismo de Jesus e, assim, na sua identificação conosco, receber a nossa identificação com ele” (Bento XVI em Jesus de Nazaré). No batismo de Jesus se manifestam os traços de toda a sua atividade. Ele não veio para os justos, mas para os pecadores. E faz isso em obediência à vontade de seu Pai e como Filho predileto, que vive em perfeita comunhão com o Pai. Desta maneira, aquilo que falta a nós pecadores, a ele foi dado no modo mais perfeito. Por isso, ele é capaz de perdoar os nossos pecados e de nos reconduzir à comunhão com Deus. – Pe Carlos Henrique Nascimento
