A Message from Fr. Jossy’s Desk:

The Baptism of the Lord

Today is the feast of Our Lord’s baptism by John the Baptizer. Roman Catholics are to be committed Christians. This requires an openness to on-going conversion as Christ comes alive in us. We practice our Christian way of life with our fellow parishioners. We belong to a community of faith in Jesus Christ. Here we raise our children beginning with their baptism and we seal them with Holy Spirit in Confirmation and celebrate the Eucharist which is “the source and summit of our faith.”

All of this sounds so uplifting, so good. But...today we read and hear about “baptized unbelievers.” A seeming contradiction: people who go through the motions of religion, but have not experienced the personal, life-altering conversion that is essential. It was rightly said after the Vatican Council ended and a new course was set that the task of the church then was to convert the baptized.

The question is asked: Why don’t we baptize people when they are old enough to choose for themselves? Our answer? To raise a child religiously neutral requires us to be religiously neutral ourselves. It would mean having our children live among us as non-Christians. Also, it would be an impossible, psychological tension precluded by the very nature of faith and the commitment that faith requires. It would be like not immunizing your child, spiritually. Later, they may repudiate their baptism, but they cannot object later to having been baptized any more than they can object to their parents’ setting up an educational trust fund, if they later decide against further education.

Today is the last day of Christmastime in the liturgy. Tomorrow begins “ordinary time.” The real Christian life is not lived in the more spectacular Christmas and Easter times, but in the long hauls in between. Ordinary time provides us with the time to be faithful to our pledge, faithful to our sacrament of baptism - our vocation: Ordinary people living as extraordinary Catholic Christians.

This weekend’s feast of the Baptism of Our Lord is a call to each one of us to renew the promises of our baptism to walk with Our Risen Lord every day in the ordinary circumstances of our daily life. To do this we need the witness of one another as we build up the Body of Christ bearing witness to his presence in today’s world.

Fr. Jossy Vattothu,CMI Parochial Vicar

Spiritual Communion Prayer

My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.

I love you above all things and I desire to receive you in my soul.

Since I cannot at this moment receive you sacramentally,

Come at least spiritually into my heart.

I embrace you as if you were already there

And unite myself wholly to you.

Never permit me to be separated from you.

Amen.

Oración para la Comunión Espiritual

Dios mío, creo que estás presente en el Santísimo Sacramento.

Te amo por encima de todas las cosas y deseo recibirte en mi alma.

Ya que en este momento no puedo recibirte sacramentalmente,

Ven al menos espiritualmente a mi corazón.

Te abrazo como si ya estuvieras allí.

Y unirme totalmente a ti.

Nunca permitas que me separen de ti.

Amén.

Un Mensaje del Padre Jossy:

El Bautismo del Señor

Hoy es la fiesta del bautismo de Nuestro Señor por Juan el Bautismo. Los católicos romanos deben ser cristianos comprometidos. Esto requiere una apertura a la conversión en vivo a medida que Cristo cobra vida en nosotros. Practicamos nuestro modo de vida cristiano con nuestros compañeros feligreses. Pertenecemos a una comunidad de fe en Jesucristo. Aquí criamos a nuestros hijos comenzando con su bautismo y los sellamos con espíritu Santo en confirmación y celebramos la Eucaristía que es "la fuente y la cumbre de nuestra fe". Todo esto suena tan edificante, tan bueno. Pero... hoy leemos y escuchamos acerca de "bautizados incrédulos". Una aparente contradicción: personas que pasan por los movimientos de la religión, pero que no han experimentado la conversión personal que altera la vida que es esencial. Se dijo con razón después de que el Concilio Vaticano terminó y se estableció un nuevo curso que la tarea de la iglesia entonces era convertir a los bautizados. La pregunta se hace: ¿Por qué no bautizamos a las personas cuando tienen la edad suficiente para elegir por sí mismas? ¿Nuestra respuesta? Criar a un niño religiosamente neutral requiere que seamos religiosamente neutrales. Significaría que nuestros hijos vivieran entre nosotros como no cristianos. Además, sería una tensión psicológica imposible, impedida por la naturaleza misma de la fe y el compromiso que la fe requiere. Sería como no inmunizar a su hijo espiritualmente. Más tarde, pueden repudiar su bautismo, pero no pueden objetar más tarde a haber sido bautizados más de lo que pueden objetar a que sus padres creen un fondo fiduciario educativo, si más tarde deciden en contra de la educación superior. Hoy es el último día de Navidad en la liturgia. Mañana comienza el "tiempo ordinario". La verdadera vida cristiana no se vive en los tiempos más espectaculares de Navidad y Pascua, sino en los largos caminos intermedios. El tiempo ordinario nos proporciona el tiempo para ser fieles a nuestra promesa, fieles a nuestro sacramento del bautismo - nuestra vocación: la gente ordinaria que vive como cristianos católicos extraordinarios. La fiesta de este fin de semana del Bautismo de Nuestro Señor es un llamado a cada uno de nosotros a renovar las promesas de nuestro bautismo de caminar con Nuestro Señor resucitado todos los días en las circunstancias ordinarias de nuestra vida diaria. Para ello necesitamos el testimonio de los demás al edificar el Cuerpo de Cristo dando testimonio de su presencia en el mundo de hoy.
