Today, the Feast of the Baptism of Jesus, the Gospel (Mt 3:13-17) describes the scene which occurred at the River Jordan: Jesus, too, is in the midst of the penitent crowd which approaches John the Baptist to receive baptism. He stood in line. John would like to prevent him from [being baptized], saying: “I need to be baptized by you” (3:14). The Baptist, indeed, is aware of the great distance there is between him and Jesus. But Jesus has come precisely to bridge the gap between man and God: if He is completely on God’s side, He is also completely on mankind’s side, and reunites what had been separated. For this reason he asks John to baptize him, so that all righteousness may be fulfilled (cf. v. 15), namely, that the plan of God may be fulfilled, the plan which passes by way of obedience and solidarity with fragile and sinful mankind, the way of humility and of God’s full closeness to his children. Because God is very close to us, very close! At the moment in which Jesus, baptized by John, comes out of the waters of the River Jordan, the voice of God the Father is heard from on high: “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased” (v. 17). At the same time the Holy Spirit, in the form of a dove, alights upon Jesus, who publicly begins his mission of salvation; a mission characterized by a manner: the way of a humble and gentle servant, armed only with the power of truth, as Isaiah had prophesied: “He will not cry or lift up his voice, … a bruised reed he will not break, and a dimly burning wick he will not quench; he will faithfully bring forth justice” (42:2-3). A humble and gentle servant. This is Jesus’ way, as well as the manner of Christ’s disciples’ missionary work: To proclaim the Gospel with gentleness, but also firmness, without shouting, without reprimanding anyone, but gently and firmly, without arrogance or imposition. The true mission is never proselytism, but drawing people to Christ. But how? How is this attraction to Christ achieved? With one’s own witness, starting from the unwavering union with him in prayer, in adoration and in concrete works of charity, which is service to Jesus present in the least of his brothers and sisters. In imitation of Jesus, the good and merciful Shepherd, and moved by his grace, we are called to make our life a joyous testimony that illuminates the way, that brings hope and love. This feast makes us rediscover the gift and the beauty of being a community of baptized, that is, of sinners — we all are sinners — saved by the grace of Christ, truly integrated, by the work of the Holy Spirit, in the filial relationship of Jesus with the Father, welcomed into the bosom of Mother Church, making possible a brotherhood that knows no barriers or borders. May the Virgin Mary help all of us Christians to maintain an ever keen and grateful awareness of our own Baptism and to faithfully follow the path opened by this Sacrament of our rebirth. Ever with humility, gentleness and firmness.

Queridos hermanos y hermanas, ¡buenos días! Hoy, fiesta del Bautismo de Jesús, el Evangelio (Mt 3, 13-17) nos presenta la episodio ocurrido a orillas del río Jordán: en medio de la muchedumbre penitente que avanza hacia Juan Bau-tista para recibir el Bautismo también se encuentra Jesús —hacía fila—. Juan querría impedírselo diciendo: «Soy yo el que necesita ser bautizado por ti» (Mt 3, 14). En efecto, el Bautista es consciente de la gran distancia que hay entre él y Jesús. Pero Jesús vino precis-amente para colmar la distancia entre el hombre y Dios: si Él está completamente de parte de Dios también está completamente de parte del hombre, y reúne aquello que estaba dividido. Por eso pide a Juan que le bautice, para que se cumpla toda justicia (cf. v. 15), es decir, se re-alice el proyecto del Padre, que pasa a través de la vía de la obediencia y de la solidaridad con el hombre frágil y pecador, la vía de la humildad y de la plena cercanía de Dios a sus hijos. ¡Porque Dios está muy cerca de nosotros, mucho! En el momento en el que Jesús, bautizado por Juan, sale de las aguas del río Jordán, la voz de Dios Padre se hace oír desde lo alto: «Este es mi Hijo amado, en quien me complazco» (v. 17). Y al mismo tiempo el Espíritu Santo, en forma de paloma, se posa sobre Jesús, que da pública-mente inicio a su misión de salvación; misión caracterizada por un estilo, el estilo del siervo humilde y dócil, dotado sólo de la fuerza de la verdad, como había profetizado Isaías: «no vo-ciferará ni alzará el tono, [...] la caña quebrada no partirá, y la mecha mortecina no apagará. Lealmente hará justicia» (42, 2-3). Siervo humilde y manso, he aquí el estilo de Jesús, y también el estilo misionero de los discípulos de Cristo: anunciar el Evangelio con docilidad y firmeza, sin gritar, sin regañar a alguien, sino con docilidad y firmeza, sin arrogancia o im-posición. La verdadera misión nunca es proselitismo sino atracción a Cristo. ¿Pero cómo? ¿Cómo se hace esta atracción a Cristo? Con el propio testimonio, a partir de la fuerte unión con Él en la oración, en la adoración y en la caridad concreta, que es servicio a Jesús presente en el más pequeño de los hermanos. Imitando a Jesús, pastor bueno y misericordioso, y ani-mados por su gracia, estamos llamados a hacer de nuestra vida un testimonio alegre que ilu-mina el camino, que lleva esperanza y amor. Esta fiesta nos hace redescubrir el don y la belleza de ser un pueblo de bautizados, es decir, de pecadores —todos lo somos— de pecadores salvados por la gracia de Cristo, inseridos real-mente, por obra del Espíritu Santo, en la relación filial de Jesús con el Padre, acogidos en el seno de la madre Iglesia, hechos capaces de una fraternidad que no conoce confines ni barre-ras. Que la Virgen María nos ayude a todos nosotros cristianos a conservar una conciencia siempre viva y agradecida de nuestro Bautismo y a recorrer con fidelidad el camino inaugurado por es-te Sacramento de nuestro renacimiento. Y siempre humildad, docilidad y firmeza. Papa Francisco Fuente: http://w2.vatican.va/content/francesco/es/angelus/2017/documents/papa-francesco_angelus_20170108.html

THIS IS MY BELOVED SON This Sunday’s celebration of the Baptism of the Lord clos-es the Christmas season. In the scriptures we see one more epiphany, or manifestation, of the Spirit of God in Jesus—but this time it is as an adult, rather than as a child. Jesus’ baptism also serves as the inauguration of his prophetic mission and the messianic age. Today’s reading from Isaiah describes God’s chosen Mes-siah, upon whom God’s spirit rests. In the Acts of the Apostles Peter says that “God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power” (Acts 10:38). Finally, in the proclamation from Matthew’s Gospel Jesus’ baptism in water goes almost unnoticed. The crucial moment comes when the Spirit of God comes upon Jesus and a voice from heaven echoes the words of Isaiah: “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased” (Matthew 3:17).
