We continue with our adult catechesis using the shortened form of the Catechism of the Catholic Church called the Compendi-um. We are in the section of the creed section of the Catechism under the article “I Believe in Jesus Christ the Only Son of God.” Here are this week’s three questions, with the catechism’s answer and my commentary. This week’s questions deal with the beginnings of Jesus’ public ministry. Why did Jesus receive from John the “baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins” (Luke 3:3)? To inaugurate his pub-lic life and to anticipate the “Baptism” of his death, he who was without sin accepted to be numbered among sinners. He was “the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world” (John 1:29). The Father proclaimed him to be his “beloved Son” (Matthew 3:17) and the Spirit descended upon him. The baptism of Jesus is a prefiguring of our baptism. Commentary: The first act of Jesus’ public ministry was his baptism at the hands of John the Baptist. Since John proclaimed a baptism of repentance, and Jesus had no need for repentance, it may appear puzzling why Jesus would submit to such a bap-tism, until we begin to understand Jesus’ intentions. Jesus’ baptism in the Jordan was an outward sign of his acceptance of the Father’s will that he should suffer and die for our sins. This acceptance marked him as God’s beloved Son. Baptism represents a death that leads to new life. Jesus’ suffering and death were the means by which he entered into the glorified life of the Res-urrection. Our baptism into Jesus marks our dying to sin so as to live for God. What do we learn from the temptations of Jesus in the desert? The temptations of Jesus in the desert recapitulate the temp-tation of Adam in Paradise and the temptations of Israel in the desert. Satan tempts Jesus in regard to his obedience to the mission given him by the Father. Christ, the new Adam, resists and his victory proclaims that of his passion which is the supreme obedience of his filial love. The Church unites herself to this mystery in a special way in the liturgical season of Lent. Commentary: Our lives are beset by constant temptations that have their origin in the Evil One. It is necessary that we defeat these temptations lest we be estranged from God and become imprisoned in our sins. Adam and ancient Israel were both tempted, and both failed to overcome temptation. Jesus as the New Adam and head of the renewed Israel undergoes the same temptations but defeats them by remaining obedient to his Father. Even when he was sorely tempted to abandon his mission in the Garden of Gethsemane, he remained faithful. By the grace of the Holy Spirit which we received by faith in our baptism, we are empowered to remain steadfast in the face of all the temptations that come our way. Who is invited to come into the Kingdom of God proclaimed and brought about by Jesus? All are invited by Jesus to enter the Kingdom of God. Even the worst of sinners is called to convert and to accept the boundless mercy of the Father. Al-ready here on earth, the Kingdom belongs to those who accept it with a humble heart. To them the mysteries of the King-dom are revealed. Commentary: Entrance into the Kingdom of God is open to all who will repent of their estrangement from God and come to him to receive mercy and new life. This repentance is a kind of death. It is painful for it means forswearing the pleasure we find in sin, which, however, Jesus tells us is ultimately destructive of our person and leads to eternal loss. The first words uttered by Jesus in his public ministry were, “Repent and believe in the Gospel” (Mark 1:15). Jesus would have us die to our sins through a willing renunciation and trust that the Gospel will lead us to a joy and permanence of life which sin makes im-possible.

Yours in Christ,

Father Walter

As many of you know, for years Grenoble Hall has been susceptible to flooding after a heavy rain. Last spring we hired a con-tractor to investigate the cause of the problem. They found that the church’s original storm drain system, which consists of ter-ra cotta piping, has significantly deteriorated over the years. Some pipes have become clogged with tree roots and others have simply collapsed from wear. To ameliorate the greatest problem, we had the contractor replace the collapsed portion of the system with PVC piping and run a new PVC line under the parking lot to the city-owned drainage area behind our property. This new piping is impervious to collapse or penetration by tree roots. The project was expensive, costing over $40,000. Fortu-nately, due to your contributions to the Capital Fund, we were able to cover the cost. The trench that was dug through the parking lot has been covered with gravel. This should serve us until we are able to undertake a resurfacing of the parking lot at some future date. It is only your financial support of the church that makes improvement possible. Thank you for your contin-ued generosity!
