Ramblings/Ministry Schedule

Whenever I think of snow I think of Las Vegas, at least a few weeks ago. Last December 31 the city of Las Vegas was
preparing for the event of the decade, maybe of the century—the wonderful, wintery wonderland of white precipitation we call
snow. No accumulation was expected but just to be sure the State of Nevada took its one snowplow, a 1942 Jeep fitted with a
snowblade, out of mothballs and sent it toward Sin City; after all, as we Nebraskans know you can’t sin if the streets are blocked with
snow. It was the topic of local speculation on how the snow would inhibit New Year’s revelers and if such snow would impact the food
and drink vendors who depended on New Year’s Eve sales of such things to feed their families. Long story short—it didn’t snow and
they sent the snowplow back to the mothball barn.
Another rare discovery of New Year’s Eve at Vegas is that it is illegal in the entire county to sell alcohol in bottles or cans from
6 a.m. December 31st to 6 a.m. January 1st. Apparently people imbibing liquor during those hours have the nasty habit of throwing
things, so the less dangerous the missile the less likely that someone will be killed. Bottles of pop, water, juice, etc. whether made of
glass, aluminum or uranium are not as dangerous and so can be sold during the stated 24-hour period. The more I thought about it
the more it made sense; that’s why all our family parties end in violence—cans and bottles (couldn’t be the alcohol). One of my
friends suggested that I watch the midnight fireworks display in Vegas; like that’s going to happen. While it may be a nice display,
and I love fireworks, the idea of staying up that late is foreign to a man who schedules his bathroom breaks from sleeping in the 3-6
hour range.
In the first few weeks of the New Year we always celebrate the Baptism of the Lord; the question is did He need to be
baptized? The short answer is no, but a longer answer is yes; no because He is the author of baptism but yes in that He shows us
what to do and at the same time sanctifies the water that will pour over us at our own baptisms. Baptism is the gateway to the other
sacraments, the washing away of original and all sin but it is also the beginning of our participation with the Christian community of
the Church. Father Rector

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.

que saques los presos del encierro, y
de los calabozos, los que vivimos en
la oscuridad.
Como este nuevo año está empezando, cómo estamos
compartiendo nuestra fe y ser una luz para los demás. ¿Cómo
estamos proclamando y difundir la buena noticia todo lo que
oímos y sabemos? Hemos sido otorgados con todo un nuevo año
y con un comienzo "Nuevo". A medida que nuestras clases de
segundo grado hicieron su Primera Reconciliación el sábado que
aprendieron acerca y recibieron la gracia y el amor de Dios, como
él los perdonó de todos sus pecados confesados. También
tenemos todo un año nuevo para acercarse a Dios. A medida
que nuestros hijos sigan su camino a través de clases y luego
sus Sacramentos. Seamos todos un faro de luz para brillar y
animarles a continuar su caminar con Jesús hoy y todos los días
de su vida.
