Today the Church celebrates the Baptism of the Lord

When the Savior is washed, all the wa-ter necessary for our baptism is puri-fied and the source is clean, so that it can then be administered to the peo-ples who were to come to the grace of that bath, “said St. Maximus of Turin in the 5th Century when referring to the Baptism of the Lord that the

Church celebrates today. The Christmas season concludes with the Baptism of the Lord and the Church invites us to look at the humil-ity of Jesus that becomes an epiphany (manifestation) of the Holy Trinity. “John is baptizing, and Christ is coming; perhaps to sanctify him for whom he will be baptized; and without a doubt to bury the whole old Adam in the waters, sanctifying the Jordan before us and for our cause; and so, the Lord, who was spirit and flesh, con-secrates us through the Spirit and the water, “said St. Gregory Na-cianceno in one of his sermons. “The Spirit also bears witness to the divinity, turning in favor of who is his fellow man; and the voice descends from heaven, for from heaven comes precisely the One from whom witness was giv-en, ”added the Saint. Gospel: Luke 3, 15-16.21-22 At that time, the people were expectant, and everyone wondered about John if he was not the Messiah, John responded to all of them: - 'I baptize you with water; but the one who is stronger than me comes, who I don't deserve to untie the strap of his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. And it happened that when all the people were baptized, Jesus was also baptized; and, as he prayed, the heavens opened, the Holy Spirit came down on him with a pigeon-like bodily appearance, and a voice came from heav-en: - `` You are my Son, the beloved; I take pleasure in you. ”

Hoy la Iglesia celebra el Bautismo del Señor

Cuando se lava el Salvador, se purifi-ca toda el agua necesaria para nuestro bautismo y queda limpia la fuente, para que pueda luego administrarse a los pueblos que habían de venir a la gracia de aquel baño”, dijo San Máxi-mo de Turín en el Siglo V al referirse al Bautismo del Señor que la Iglesia

celebra hoy. Con el Bautismo del Señor se concluye la temporada de Navidad y la Iglesia nos invita a mirar la humildad de Jesús que se convierte en una epifanía (manifestación) de la Santísima Trini-dad. “Juan está bautizando, y Cristo se acerca; tal vez para santificar al mismo por quien va a ser bautizado; y sin duda para sepultar en las aguas a todo el viejo Adán, santificando el Jordán antes de no-sotros y por nuestra causa; y así, el Señor, que era espíritu y carne, nos consagra mediante el Espíritu y el agua”, manifestó San Gre-gorio Nacianceno en uno de sus sermones. “También el Espíritu da testimonio de la divinidad, acudiendo en favor de quien es su semejante; y la voz desciende del cielo, pues del cielo procede precisamente Aquel de quien se daba testimo-nio”, añadió el Santo. Evangelio: Lucas 3,15-16.21-22 En aquel tiempo, el pueblo estaba expectante, y todos se pregunta-ban en su interior sobre Juan si no sería el Mesías, Juan les res-pondió dirigiéndose a a todos: - 'Yo os bautizo con agua; pero vie-ne el que es más fuerte que yo, a quien no merezco desatarle la co-rrea de sus sandalias. Él os bautizará con Espíritu Santo y fuego. Y sucedió que, cuando todo el pueblo era bautizado, también Jesús fue bautizado; y, mientras oraba, se abrieron los cielos, bajó el Es-píritu Santo sobre él con apariencia corporal semejante a una palo-ma, y vino un voz del cielo: - ´'Tú eres mi Hijo, el amado; en ti me complazco'”.
