GIFT (Growing In Faith
Together) is our Parish model for
life-long intergenerational faith
formation, centered around
opportunities to learn about, share

company of all parishioners from
the newly baptized to our most
mature members, leading us to an
ever deeper relationship with God
and each other. Due to our
generous parish community, GIFT
is free and welcomes all. Join us
as we explore and grow in faith -
together!

BAPTISM OF THE LORD�
"THE BEGINNING"�
��
In the early 70s, there was a popular song by
Andy Williams titled “Love Story,” whose
opening lines I still recall: “Where do I begin / To
tell the story of how great a love can be / The
sweet love story that is older than the sea / The
simple truth about the love she brings to me /
Where do I start?” The tune captivated me even if
I didn’t really understand its lyrics. As I prayed
over today’s Gospel, I remembered that song
because, somehow, I have found the answer to
Andy Williams’s questions:“Where do I begin?”
and “Where do I start?” And the answer is Jesus
Christ!�
�����We are celebrating the Feast of the Baptism of
Jesus Christ. St. Mark starts his Gospel account
with the baptism of Jesus in the Jordan River. For
him, the beginning of the Gospel is the baptism of
the Lord. After all, Jesus Christ is the Gospel
Himself. Notice the brevity of St. Mark in telling
us this story without losing its charm and
symbolisms: “On coming up out of the water he
saw the heavens being torn open and the Spirit,
like a dove, descending upon him. And a voice
came from the heavens, ‘You are my beloved;
with you I am well pleased’”(Mark 1:10�11, NIV).�
� � � � � � Jordan River is in a valley bounded by
mountains. It speaks so well of the coming of
Jesus Christ. Most of all, in His baptism, Jesus
immersed Himself in the waters in solidarity with
us sinners though He is sinless. God sent us His
only beloved Son Jesus Christ to join us in our
humanity, so that in His resurrection we could be
one with Him in His triumph and glory. In His
baptism, Jesus became like us humans except in
sin; in His resurrection, we became like Jesus, the
beloved Child of God with whom He is well
pleased.�
� � � � � � As we start this week, let us remember to
begin each day with Jesus, in Jesus. Let’s start
anew from a past filled with sin and defeats, for
each day is a new beginning with the Lord, in the
Lord. By the way, how do you begin your day?�
� PRAYER: Lord Jesus Christ, so many times I
forget my own baptism, my own solidarity with
You as my Brother in� God our Father, as the
dwelling place of the Holy Spirit. Thank You for
this gift of being a beloved� child of God with
whom He is well pleased. Amen.�
