Landscapers say that this “knits” the sod to the soil. The same when a branch is grafted onto a tree: the poultice that joins them at the splice must be kept wet at all times. Water is the stuff that binds the very cells of our bodies together. No wonder religions throughout all times and cultures have used it so prominently. When Jesus stepped into the Jordan for baptism, he “knit” himself to what had come before him. By going to the Jordan, he made himself one with the people of Israel who had crossed it into their Promised Land. With John the Baptist, Christ wove himself into the prophetic tradition that heralded the coming reign of God. He had become fully human in the waters of Mary’s womb, and by partaking in the rite of the baptism of repentance, Jesus identified himself with our sinful, frail humanity. It is through the waters of baptism that Christ continues to graft new members onto his Body, the Church; through these waters we are cleansed from sin and filled with the promise of grace, given our destiny for eternal life. For us, as for Jesus, it is also the waters of baptism that inaugurate our mission to proclaim the Good News.Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

We had inherited a practice called “extreme unction,” from the Latin words meaning anointing at the point of death. The deeper tradition, however, is about the prayer of faith that will heal and restore the sick person, and is straight from the Letter of James. The Fathers went back to the beginning, and while not discarding the “extreme unction” name, made a plea for the proper use of this sacrament. As soon as a person is in danger of death from sickness or old age, they reasoned, the time for the sacrament had already arrived. As a result of this desire, the next ritual text for anointing contained an innovation: a rite for visiting the sick that included readings from scripture, psalms, and prayers. Old customs fade slowly, however, and the quality of pastoral care languished for centuries while people delayed the celebration of a consoling and effective sacrament, sometimes missing the opportunity completely. A priest ministering to a dying and unconscious patient alone in a room has never been the desire of the Church. Our tradition is far too rich for this sacrament to be celebrated in such a diminished and ungenerous manner.

Classes 11 de Enero de 2015 BAUTISMO DEL SEÑOR El Bautismo del Señor Por: Javier Caballero | Fuente: Catholic.net LAS AGUAS BAUTISMALES Cuando se planta un césped nuevo, debe regarse constantemente. Los jardineros dicen que esto “teje” el césped al suelo. Lo mismo sucede cuando se injerta una rama a un árbol: el cataplasma que los une debe estar húmedo en todo momento. El agua es lo que mantiene unidas a las células de nuestro cuerpo. Con razón las religiones de todas las épocas y culturas han usado tanto este símbolo. Cuando Jesús se sumerge en el Jordán para ser bautizado, se “teje” a todo aquello que lo precedía. Al sumergirse en el Jordán, se hizo uno con el pueblo de Israel que había cruzado el río para llegar a su Tierra Prometida. Junto a Juan Bautista, Cristo se tejió a la tradición profética que presagiaba la venida del Reino de Dios. Jesús se había convertido plenamente en humano en las aguas del vientre de María y al participar del rito del Bautismo del arrepentimiento, se sintió identificado con nuestra frágil y pecaminosa humanidad. Por las aguas del Bautismo Cristo continúa injertando nuevos miembros a su Cuerpo, la Iglesia; gracias a nuestro destino de vida eterna, por estas aguas somos limpiados del pecado y recibimos la promesa de la gracia. Para nosotros, como para Jesús, las aguas bautismales también inauguran nuestra misión de proclamar la Buena Nueva. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. Uno de los momentos más importantes de la vida de todo cristiano es el bautismo. A diferencia de otros momentos, nos acordamos muy poco de él. No sólo porque, cuando nos bautizaron y nos "mojaron" la cabeza, no teníamos uso de razón, sino también porque no siempre lo valoramos en su justa medida. El Evangelio de hoy nos presenta el bautismo de Jesús. Él, que era Dios, que no tenía ningún pecado, acudió a Juan, el Bautista, para ser bautizado. ¡Qué sorpresa para el Bautista ver que el mismo Dios se inclinaba ante él para recibir este sacramento! Con este gesto, Jesús nos demuestra la grandeza de este misterio y nos da una lección más de humildad. En efecto, por el bautismo nos hacemos hijos de Dios. Somos curados del pecado original. Gracias a este sacramento se nos abren las puertas del cielo y comenzamos a ganar méritos en la gran competición que es la vida. Dios nos da su gracia. A nosotros nos corresponde hacerla fecunda, hacerla crecer día tras día. ¿Hasta dónde? «Y descendió el Espíritu Santo en forma corporal, como una paloma, sobre Él, y se dejó oír del cielo una voz: "Tú eres mi Hijo amado, en Ti me complazco". Hemos de lograr que el Padre también exclame de cada uno de nosotros: "Éste es mi hijo amado... en él me complazco..." Y todo ello porque tratamos de agradarle en todo, correspondiendo a ese don tan maravilloso que nos vino por el bautismo, el don del Espíritu Santo. Que todos aquellos con los que convivimos descubran en nosotros esa paloma invisible que se traduce en santidad y en donación hacia nuestros hermanos los hombres. Una vez que Cristo se hizo bautizar, comenzó de lleno su misión apostólica. Seamos apóstoles y portadores del mensaje redentor y salvífico de Cristo a un mundo que, a veces, parece caminar a ciegas. Propósito - Que el evento más importante del día sea la participación en la Eucaristía, sugiriendo a la familia dar gracias por el don del bautismo, puerta de nuestra fe. Diálogo con Cristo - Gracias, Señor, por hacerme hijo tuyo. Gracias por hacerme miembro de tu Iglesia. No dejes que olvide que mis privilegios como bautizado me deben llevar a corresponderte, porque toda mi existencia tiene como objetivo llevar a plenitud la vida de gracia que recibí en el Bautismo. El Bautismo no sólo me hace hijo de Dios y me une a Jesucristo en la Iglesia, sino que me lanza como testigo y apóstol de tu Reino.

Eu, pessoalmente, não entendo bem as razões porque certas pessoam batizam. Pode ser que alguns pensam que o Batismo salva. Eu nunca pensei que estou salvo por fui batizado. Pelo contrário, o Batismo compromete. Jesus falou que a pessoa que será salva é a pessoa que é batizada e quem crer. Crer em Jesus é essencial. Imagine se os pais não creem em Jesus, não praticam a sua fé, não ensinam seus filhos quem é Jesus, e ainda batizam seus filhos, serão salvos? Há pessoas que se chamam "crentes." Dizem que são salvas porque são batizadas e creem. Maravilhoso! Mas eu sou batizado, eu creio em Jesus, mas ainda não me sinto completamente salvo. Por quê? Simplesmente porque crer em Jesus é mais do que crer que ele existe, que é meu salvador, que morreu na cruz, Crer nele é viver como ele viveu, viver que ele ensinou. Se nós não perdoarmos quem nos ofende, será possível dizer que cremos em Jesus? É a nossa maneira de viver que salva. A nossa maneira de viver depende da nossa intimidade com Jesus, nosso amor com Ele. Batismo, para quem entende, pode dar para todos a força de viver bem. Mas a pessoa batizada tem que saber disso. Tem que saber que o Espírito Santo que recebeu está pronto para dar tudo que precisa para alcançar a salvação eterna. Rezemos pelas pessoas que são baizadas, ou que batizam, e realmente não sabem o "por que” essencial. Padre Gerard Oberle, CSsR Para ser salvo, é preciso Ter fé em Jesus e segui-lo, mas ninguém segue Jesus sozinho. Pelo batismo passamos a fazer parte da comunidade dos seguidores de Jesus, participantes da vida de Deus que é Pai, Filho e Espírito Santo. O DÍZIMO NÃO ACONTECE POR ACASO.
