The Liturgy of the Day
Today is the last day of the Christmas
season. Long after the trees have
been taken down and the lights and
ornaments put in storage for next
year, the Catholic Church continues
to unpack the meaning of the great
feast of the Incarnation. After last
week’s manifestation in the
Epiphany, Jesus is now manifested as
the Son of God, ready to begin his
mission.
We who are baptized like Jesus also
have a mission. God is calling us
“beloved” now, if we listen carefully.
a la Liturgia del Día Hoy es el último día del tiempo de
Navidad. Mucho después que se
hayan quitado los arbolitos, y las luces
y los adornos se hayan guardado hasta
el año próximo, la Iglesia católica
continúa ahondando en el significado
de la gran fiesta de la encarnación.
Luego de la manifestación en la
Epifanía la semana pasada, Jesús se
manifiesta ahora como el Hijo de
Dios, listo para comenzar su misión.
Nosotros, que estamos bautizados
como Jesús, también tenemos una
misión. Si ponemos cuidadosamente
atención, oiremos que Dios nos llama
ahora hijas e hijos “amados”.

HOMILIA DE HOY
Proyecto de Homilía
• El domingo pasado la
Epifanía celebró la
manifestación de Jesús a
los paganos (los magos).
La fiesta de hoy celebra
la misma revelación de
Dios a Israel, su pueblo
escogido, reunido en el Jordán donde bautiza Juan,
que espera: “uno que es más poderoso que yo … él
los bautizará con el Espíritu Santo”. Preparándonos
para escuchar el testimonio en el pasaje de Marcos y
para que confesemos a Jesús como el Señor, Isaías
nos invita a alejarnos del pecado y a que nos
dispongamos a ser fieles como en una alianza. Para
esto Isaías usa unas imágenes que son ricas y
evocadoras para los cristianos: agua gratuita
(bautismo), trigo abundante (alimento eucarístico),
vino (sacrificio eucarístico), leche (la Iglesia como
Madre lactante y tierra prometida de donde mana
leche y miel).
• Las imágenes en la primera carta del apóstol san
Juan son menos, pero su enfoque es más perspicaz. El
Espíritu (verdad) da testimonio junto con el agua
(bautismo) y la sangre (cruz/Eucaristía) del Mesías e
Hijo de Dios, a quien debemos aceptar para ser
nacidos de Dios y participar en la victoria de la fe
sobre un mundo de egoísmo y pecado.
• Aunque típicamente breve, la narración de Marcos
del bautismo de Jesús nos ofrece una característica y
una percepción únicas. Mateo y Lucas dicen que “se
le abrieron los cielos”, pero Marcos dice que “los
cielos se rasgaban”, pues en Jesús la barrera que
separaba el cielo y la tierra queda derribada
permanentemente, dando rienda suelta al Espíritu a
fin de transformar irrevocablemente y para siempre la
faz de la tierra. Esa imagen dramática de rasgar, junto
con el agua y el llamar a Jesús “mi Hijo amado”,
pueden también evocar los riesgos y la promesa de
dar a luz. Aquí también podemos escuchar el eco del
Génesis: “El Espíritu de Dios se movía sobre la
superficie de las aguas”. Es así que Marcos nos
recuerda que, por medio de nuestro bautismo en la
muerte y resurrección de Jesús, hemos vuelto a nacer
y nuestra vida debe dar un testimonio convincente de
esa realidad.
Pregunta de la semana
Debido a que la primera carta de Juan presenta tres
testigos, esto es, el Espíritu, el agua y la sangre,
¿cuáles son tres maneras específicas en que puedo
dar testimonio esta semana de mi bautismo y mi vida
nueva en Cristo?
