The Baptism of the Lord
St. Joseph Church, 7240 W. 57th St.,
Summit, Illinois, 60501-1324
“YOU ARE MY BELOVED SON; WITH YOU I AM WELL PLEASED.”
-
This Sunday, we celebrate the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord.
To help us reflect on the mystery of today’s celebration, I have
selected an image entitled Baptism of Christ (1485-1500), by the
Master of the St. Bartholomew Altar (an unnamed German painter),
which is on display at the National Gallery of Art, in Washington
D.C. The central part illustrates the story as it is told in the
Gospel of Luke, which we heard today. John the Baptist (standing
center right) is baptizing Jesus (center) by pouring water over His
head. Above Jesus, we see God the Father, and in between the Father
and Son is the Holy Spirit, depicted as a dove. Unfurling from God
the Father is a scroll with the words: “You are my beloved Son;
with you I am well pleased.” The artist also includes a number of
angels: two lower angels playing musical instruments, one angel
holding Christ’s clothes, one angel incensing Jesus, and two angels
by God the Father.
What makes this image of the Baptism of Christ unique is the
semicircle of saints in heaven who are all watching the Baptism of
Christ. The saints in heaven are 7 men and 7 women. Seven is a
number of perfection. So, in heaven we see the perfection of male
and the perfection female, and the number 14 (double 7) is the
double perfection of humanity. The artist painted each saint with a
particular symbol, in order to help us try to identify them. He did
not leave a list of names, but from their symbols I have tried my
best to ascertain their identity. From left to right these holy men
and women are: 1. St. Dorothy: crown of flowers, basket of flowers.
2. St. Andrew: X shaped cross. 3. St. Christopher: carrying the
Christ child on shoulders. 4. St. Bonaventure: cardinal’s hat and
cross. 5. St. Catherine of Alexandria: sword and broken wheel. 6.
St. Augustine: bishop’s miter, crosier and pierced heart. 7. St.
Agnes: lamb. 8. St. Francis of Assisi: grey habit and stigmata. 9.
St. Lucy: sword in neck and palm. 10. St. Elizabeth of Hungary:
crown. 11. St. Albert the Great: crosier and wearing cap of
teacher. 12. St. Apollonia: pincers holding a tooth. 13: St. Mary
Magdalene: jar of ointment, perfume. 14: St. George: knight’s armor
and defeating dragon. Why would the artist include all these saints
in a painting about the Baptism of Christ? It’s not recorded this
way in the Scriptures and it is chronologically out of place in
time. The artist inclusion illustrates some important theological
points to remember. Firstly, yes, it’s not in chronological order,
but in heaven there is no time. God exists outside of time. In
heaven, there is no past, present, or future; everything is
eternally now for God. Secondly, by having the saints surround and
look at Christ’s baptism, the artist teaches us a very important
lesson to remember on today’s feast day. Jesus was baptized in
order to sanctify all people and to bring all people to God in
heaven. The holy men and women in heaven are looking at the Baptism
of Jesus, fittingly, as the source and beginning of their
sanctification. The grace coming forth from Christ’s baptism can
sanctify any person, whether male or female, young or old; no
matter if we are married, single, a virgin, ordained, or religious.
The saints are made holy because they were baptized into Christ.
The saints are in heaven because they were baptized into Christ’s
baptism (His death and resurrection), and so they share in His
glory. This is the joyous news for all of us on today’s Feast of
the Baptism of the Lord! Once again, you will find Bishop Wypych’s
letter in the bulletin regarding my participation in mistrial
review. Please follow the link at the bottom of the letter if you
wish to participate. You are invited to join the March for Life
Chicago with Archbishop Cupich on Sunday, January 17 from 2-4 PM at
Daley Plaza. Please pray for a greater respect of all life in our
nation and around the world. May our Blessed Mother Mary, Undoer of
Knots, help us with her maternal care and St. Joseph pray for us.
Vivat Jesus! Live Jesus!

Este domingo, celebramos la fiesta del Bautismo del Señor. Para
ayudarnos a reflexionar sobre el misterio de la celebración de hoy,
he seleccionado una imagen titulada el Bautismo de Cristo
(1485-1500), por el Maestro de la San Bartolomé Altar (un pintor
anónimo alemán), que se encuentra en exhibición en la Galería
Nacional of Art, en Washington DC. La parte central ilustra la
historia a medida que se dice en el Evangelio de Lucas, que hemos
escuchado hoy. Juan el Bautista (parado en el centro a la derecha)
está bautizando a Jesús (centro) vertiendo agua sobre su cabeza.
Por encima de Jesús, vemos a Dios el Padre y entre el Padre y el
Hijo está el Espíritu Santo, representado como una paloma.
Desplegando de Dios Padre hay un pergamino con las pala-bras: "Tú
eres mi Hijo amado; en TÍ me complazco." El artista también incluye
una serie de ángeles: dos ánge-les debajo tocando instrumentos
musicales, un ángel sosteniendo la ropa de Cristo, un ángel
incensando a Jesús y dos ángeles junto a Dios Padre. Lo que hace
esta imagen del Bautismo de Cristo única, es el semicírculo de
santos en el cielo que es-
tán todos viendo el bautismo de Cristo. Los santos en el cielo
son 7 hombres y 7 mujeres. Siete es un número de la perfección.
Así, en el cielo vemos la perfección del hombre y la perfección de
la mujer, y el número 14 (doble 7) es el doble de la perfección de
la humanidad. El artista pintó cada santo con un símbolo en
particular, con el fin de ayudarnos a tratar de identificarlos. No
dejó una lista de nombres, sino de sus símbolos, he intentado todo
lo posible por determinar sus identidades. De izquierda a derecha,
estos hombres y mujeres santos son: 1. Santa Dorotea: corona de
flores, cesta de flores. 2. San Andrés: cruz en forma de X. 3. San
Cristó-bal: llevando al niño Jesús en los hombros. 4. San
Buenaventura: sombrero y cruz del cardenal. 5. Santa Catalina de
Alejandría: la espada y la rueda rota. 6. San Agustín: del obispo
mitra, báculo y el corazón traspasado. 7. Santa Inés: Cordero. 8.
San Francisco de Asís: hábito gris y estigmas. 9. Santa Lucía:
espada en el cuello y palma. 10. Santa Isabel de Hungría: corona.
11. San Alberto Magno: el báculo y vistiendo gorra de profesor. 12.
Santa Apolonia: pinzas que sostienen un diente. 13: Santa María
Magdalena: tarro de ungüento, perfume. 14: San Jorge: la armadura
del caballero y el dragón de derrotar. ¿Por qué el artista incluye
a todos estos santos en una pintura sobre el Bautismo de Cristo? No
está registrado de esta ma-nera en las Escrituras y es
cronológicamente fuera de lugar en el tiempo. La inclusión del
artista ilustra algunos puntos teológicos importantes para
recordar. En primer lugar, sí, no es por orden cronológico, pero en
el cielo no hay tiempo. Dios existe fuera del tiempo. En el cielo,
no hay pasado, presente o futuro; todo es eterno ahora para Dios.
En segundo lugar, para tener a los santos ro-deando y mirando el
bautismo de Cristo, el artista nos enseña una lección muy
importante recordar el día de la fiesta de hoy. Jesús fue bautizado
con el fin de santificar todas las personas y traer a todas las
personas a Dios en el cielo. Los hombres y mujeres santos en el
cielo están mirando el Bautismo de Jesús, como corresponde, como
origen y principio de su santificación. La gracia que sale del
bautismo de Cristo puede santificar cualquier persona, sea hombre o
mujer, joven o viejo; no importa si estamos casados, solte-ros, una
virgen, ordenado o religioso. Los santos se hacen santos porque
fueron bautizados en Cristo. Los santos están en el cielo, ya que
fueron bautizados en el bautismo de Cristo (Su muerte y
resurrección) y por lo que comparten en su gloria. Esta es la
noticia alegre para todos nosotros en la fiesta de hoy del Bautismo
del Señor! Una vez más, se encuentra la carta del Obispo Wypych en
el boletín con respecto a mi participación en la revisión de la
anulación del juicio. Por favor, siga el enlace en la parte
inferior de la carta si usted desea participar. Usted está invitado
a unirse a la Marcha por la Vida de Chicago con el arzobispo Cupich
en Domingo, 17 de enero 2-4 pm en la Plaza Daley. Por favor oren
por un respeto mayor de toda vida en nuestro país y en todo el
mundo. Que nuestra Santísima Madre María, Desatadora de nudos, nos
ayude con su cuidado maternal y San José ore por nosotros. Vivat
Jesús! ¡Viva Jesús!

Z biurka Ks. Proboszcza
Kościół celebruje dzisiaj Święto Chrztu Pańskiego. Aby pomóc nam
lepiej zrozumieć istotę tego święta, wybrałem dzieło, które obecnie
można oglądać w waszyngtońskiej National Art Gallery. Jest to obraz
zatytułowany „Chrzest Chrystusa” (1485-1500). Namalował go
anonimowy niemiecki artysta, będący także twórcą Ołtarza św.
Bartłomieja. Centralna część obrazu jest ilustracją dzisiejszego
fragmentu z Ewangelii według św. Łukasza. Św. Jan Chrzciciel
(widoczny w centrum i lekko na prawo) udziela chrztu znajdującemu
się w centrum Jezusowi, polewając Jego głowę wodą. Ponad Jezusem
widzimy Boga Ojca, a pomiędzy Ojcem i Synem znajduje się Duch
Święty, wyobrażony pod postacią gołębicy. Bóg Ojciec trzyma zwój,
na którym widnieją słowa: „Jesteś moim Umiłowanym Synem; w Tobie
mam upodobanie”. Malarz dołączył do tej sceny również kilku
aniołów. Dwóch z nich gra na instrumentach muzycznych; jeden trzyma
szaty Jezusa, a inny Go okadza. Dwaj kolejni aniołowie znajdują się
przy Bogu Ojcu.
Co wyróżnia ten obraz spośród innych o podobnej tematyce? Święci
w niebie, zebrani w półkolu i będący świadkami Chrztu Pańskiego.
Owy świętych jest czternastu – siedmiu mężczyzn i siedem kobiet.
Siódemka jest liczbą doskonałą, zatem „14” (czyli podwójna
siódemka) oznacza podwójną doskonałość ludzkości – zarówno męską,
jak i żeńską. Artysta każdemu świętemu dał pewien symbol,
ułatwiający identyfikację. Nie zostawił nam gotowej listy z
imionami, ale na podstawie tych symboli starałem się możliwie
najlepiej ustalić tożsamość każdego z nich. Od lewej do prawej
widzimy: 1. święta Dorota: wieniec z kwiatów na skroniach, kosz z
kwiatami; 2. święty Andrzej: krzyż w kształcie litery X; 3. święty
Krzysztof, niosący na ramionach małego Jezusa; 4. święty
Bonawentura: kapelusz kardynalski oraz krzyż. 5. święta Katarzyna
Aleksandryjska: miecz oraz złamane koło; 6. święty Augustyn: mitra
biskupia, pastorał oraz przebite serce; 7. święta Agnieszka:
baranek; 8. święty Franciszek z Asyżu: szary habit oraz stygmaty;
9. święta Łucja: dłoń i szyja przebite mieczem; 10. święta Elżbieta
z Turyngii: korona; 11. święty Albert Wielki: pastorał oraz czapka
nauczyciela; 12. święta Apolonia, trzymająca ząb w szczypczykach;
13. święta Maria Magdalena: perfumy; 14. święty Jerzy: zbroja
rycerska oraz zabity smok. Dlaczego malarz umieścił tylu świętych
na obrazie o Chrzcie Chrystusa? W Piśmie Świętym nie ma ani słowa o
świętych i jest to niewłaściwe pod względem chronologicznym. Obecne
tu postacie świętych mają zwrócić naszą uwagę na kilka ważnych
kwestii teologicznych. Owszem, to jest niezgodność chronologiczna,
ale Niebo nie zna pojęcia czasu. Bóg istnieje poza czasem. W Niebie
nie ma czegoś takiego, jak przeszłość, teraźniejszość i przyszłość
– dla Pana wszystko jest wiecznością. Po drugie: święci będący
świadkami Chrztu Jezusa, chcą nas nauczyć czegoś bardzo ważnego.
Chrystus przyjął chrzest po to, aby uświęcić wszystkich ludzi, aby
zaprowadzić całą ludzkość do Boga. Świeci w Niebie spoglądają
tutaj, dosłownie, na źródło i początek własnej świętości. Łaska
płynąca z Chrztu Pańskiego dotyka wszystkich – mężczyzn i kobiet;
młodych i starych; małżeństw, singli, dziewic i osoby duchowne.
Świętość osób świętych polega na tym, że zostali ochrzczeni w
Chrystusie. Znajdują się oni w Niebie, gdyż poprzez własny chrzest
otrzymali udział w Chrzcie Pańskim, w Jego śmierci,
zmartwychwstaniu oraz wiecznej chwale. Tak brzmi Dobra Nowina dla
każdego z nas na dzisiejsze Święto! Vivat Jesus! Chwała
Jezusowi!

ARCHDIOCESE OF CHICAGO Auxiliary Bishop of Chicago 2330 West
118th Street Episcopal Vicar of Vicariate V Chicago IL 60643 Phone:
312-534-5050 Fax: 773-779-8469 Dear Parishioners, Your Pastor,
Father Robert Stuglik, will soon be participating in the Catholic
Leadership 360 Review process. This review process is part of the
ordinary structure required by Archdiocesan Policy of every
diocesan priest approximately every five years. It is an
opportunity for Fr. Stuglik to recognize his talents and to grow to
become a better priest and pastoral minister. Your local Dean
selected members of the parish staff and parish leadership to serve
as reviewers and I will also use this instrument in the Catholic
Leadership 360 Review process. Further, diocesan policies also
state that parish lay leadership and parishioners be given the
opportunity to recognize Father’s gifts and to share their
sentiments about his ministry. So, an additional parish-wide survey
is also part of his review process. The web address of the survey
and instructions for anonymous participation can be found at the
bottom of this letter and on your parish’s web page, if available.
Please note that the survey is available in English and Spanish.
The data obtained from the parish-wide survey will be shared with
Father Stuglik and your participation will remain anonymous. The
Priests’ Placement Board and I will also receive this data. If you
have any further questions or suggestions about the review process
you may contact Fr. Bob Heidenreich ([email protected]
), Coordinator of Ministerial Review and Priests Programs at the
Priests Placement Office (312-534-5237). When the Catholic
Leadership 360 Review process has been completed, Father Stuglik
will be asked to share the insights he has received and his further
developmental plans with you in the parish bulletin and on the
parish web site. I thank you in advance for your willingness to
participate in the review process and to provide constructive
information. Sincerely, Most Reverend Andrew P. Wypych, D.D.
