Battesimo del Signore
12 gennaio 2020
Si aprirono i cieli e la voce
del Padre disse: “Questi e’ il
Figlio mio, l’amato: ascoltatelo!”
Alleluia.
La parola “battesimo” e’ un termine greco che significa “immersione”. Vi erano delle
immersioni proposte dai profeti per significare la purificazione e il cambiamento di vita ed e’ cio’ che il Battista proponeva al popolo che lo seguiva. Il Signore Gesu’ non aveva bisogno di
essere battezzato, lui che non conosceva il peccato, ma compie un gesto profetico:
l’immersione che prefigura la sua morte e l’emersione che annuncia la sua risurrezione.
Mentre e’ in preghiera dopo questo lavacro ecco che il cielo si apre e la presenza dello Spirito
Santo ratifica la sua identita’ di Figlio amato del Padre. E’ quanto avviene nella Cresima, in cui lo Spirito dimostra in noi con l’unzione del crisma e ci conferma di essere i figli amati del
Padre. Si realizza cosi’ la consolazione del profeta (I Lettura) e la manifestazione della
gloria descritta da san Paolo (II Lettura). Gustiamoci i sacramenti che ci uniscono al
Salvatore: il Battesimo ci immerge in Lui, la Cresima ci porta il profumo dell’amore trinitario, l’Eucaristia ci nutre del mistero
pasquale di Cristo morto e risorto.

As the people were filled with expectation, and all
were questioning in their hearts concerning John,
whether he might be the Messiah, John answered
all of them by saying, “I baptize you with water;
but one who is more powerful than I is coming;
I am not worthy to untie the thong of his sandals.
He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.”
Now when all the people were baptized, and Jesus
also had been baptized, just as he came up from the
water, suddenly the heavens were opened to him and
he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and
alighting on him. And a voice from heaven said,
“This is my Son, the Beloved;
with you I am well pleased.”
