THE WATERS OF BAPTISM

When new sod is put in, it needs constant satura on with water. Landscapers
say that this knits the sod to the soil. The same when a branch is gra ed onto a
tree: the poul ce that joins them at the splice must be kept wet at all mes. Water
is the stu that binds the very cells of our bodies together. No wonder religions

Todos ustedes, los que tienen sed,

Isaas 55:1

Bautismo del Seor

Una celebracin del amor de Dios
Las lecturas y su mensaje
Isaas 55:1-11

Al comenzar este ao nuevo, en qu

situacin de mi vida en estas momentos necesito dejar que la paz de Dios
descienda sobre m y me encubra?
De qu manera he de permitir que
Dios me haga un instrumento de esa
paz para alguien que conozco?

LAS AGUAS BAUTISMALES

Cuando se planta un csped nuevo, debe regarse
constantemente. Los jardineros dicen que esto teje el
csped al suelo. Lo mismo sucede cuando se injerta una
rama a un rbol: el cataplasma que los une debe estar
hmedo en todo momento. El agua es lo que mantiene
unidas a las clulas de nuestro cuerpo. Con razn las
religiones de todas las pocas y culturas han usado tanto este smbolo. Cuando Jess se sumerge en el Jordn para ser bautizado,
se teje a todo aquello que lo preceda. Al sumergirse en el Jordn, se hizo
uno con el pueblo de Israel que haba cruzado el ro para llegar a su Tierra
Prometida. Junto a Juan Bautista, Cristo se teji a la tradicin proftica que
presagiaba la venida del Reino de Dios. Jess se haba convertido plenamente en humano en las aguas del vientre de Mara y al participar del rito
del Bautismo del arrepentimiento, se sinti identificado con nuestra frgil y
pecaminosa humanidad. Por las aguas del Bautismo Cristo contina 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 Jess, las
aguas bautismales tambin
inauguran nuestra misin
de proclamar la Buena
Nueva.
En la Fiesta de la Epifana
Los Tres Reyes Magos
entregaron regalitos a
los nios. Y todos disfrutaron de las Roscas de Reyes.

El banquete aludido o la fiesta especial de celebracin se relaciona con las misericordias

hechas a David. As como el famoso rey de
Israel era presentado como testigo y mensajero
divino para los otros monarcas, as el pueblo
debera de hacer lo mismo con las otras
naciones. De hecho, el pacto eterno, que era
principalmente una promesa de permanencia de
la dinasta davdica, no se haba roto, porque
durante el exilio se mantuvo viva la esperanza
de restauracin y retorno a Jerusaln en la
figura de Joaqun y sus descendientes. En la
tradicin bblica, la conclusin de la alianza iba
acompaada de seales y signos especiales. El
pacto tendr un signo extraordinario: la renovacin y transformacin de la naturaleza.

1 Juan 5:1-9
Se establece aqu la unin entre amar y creer.
El autor deca que todo el que ama ha nacido
de Dios y ahora dice que todo el que cree que
Jess es el Cristo ha nacido de Dios, y todo el
que ama al que le da el ser debe amar tambin
a quien lo recibe de l. La fe que vence al mundo es victoria y el que cree es vencedor. Al
hacer esta afirmacin, el autor aade un toque
de esperanza. El mundo se vence con la fe, con
el amor y con la alegra.

Marcos 1:7-11
La palabra bautismo est tomada del
griego de un verbo que significa sumergir. Poco
a poco el trmino adquiere el sentido tcnico
que tiene en el lenguaje cristiano. Juan no se
considera digno de atarle las sandalias al que
viene. El anuncio de Juan termina con la comparacin de dos bautismos: l bautiza con agua,
pero el que viene lo hace en el Espritu Santo.
Juan practica un rito de purificacin exterior;
Jess da aquello que posee en plenitud. El contexto da a entender que el bautismo de Juan
abri los corazones a la conversin, de manera
que ahora pueden recibir la gracia de la Nueva
Alianza.

Comienza el Tiempo Ordinario!

Durante este tiempo todos los bautizados estamos llamados a
profundizar el Misterio Pascual y a vivirlo en el desarrollo de la
vida de todos los das, precisamente en las ocupaciones ordinarias
En la liturgia de la Iglesia, despus de la fiesta del Bautismo del
Seor se da inicio al Tiempo Ordinario.
El Tiempo Ordinario del ao empieza con el lunes que sigue al
domingo despus del 6 de enero y se prolonga hasta el martes
anterior a la Cuaresma; vuelve a reanudarse el lunes despus
del Domingo de Pentecosts y finaliza antes de las Primeras
Vsperas del Domingo Primero de Adviento.
El Tiempo Ordinario del Ao Litrgico tiene mucha importancia
en la vida de los cristianos, por tratarse del tiempo ms largo.
Es durante este tiempo cuando la comunidad de los bautizados
es llamada a profundizar el Misterio Pascual y a vivirlo en el desarrollo de la vida de todos los das. Para eso, la Liturgia de la
Palabra asume una gran importancia en la formacin cristiana
de la comunidad. La abundancia de los textos que se presentan
durante todo el ao indican que no se leen para cumplir con un
ceremonial, sino para conocer y meditar el mensaje de salvacin
apropiado a todas las circunstancias de la vida.

La Alegra del Evangelio

(captulo 4)
En el captulo IV, el Papa Francisco hace
una apasionada defensa de la vida en todas
sus formas. Comenta la situacin de los inmigrantes indocumentados y acusa a quienes
no hacen nada por su defensa o ignoran su
situacin de complicidad.
Pasa luego a hablar de las mujeres que
sufren situaciones de exclusin, maltrato o violencia. Dedica
despus varios prrafos a hablar de la defensa de nios inocentes y en especial de los no nacidos. Asegura que la Iglesia resiste
y resistir cualquier presin ideolgica o cultural que presenta la
postura de defensa de la vida como algo oscurantista y demasiado conservador. Dice el Papa: No debe esperarse que la Iglesia cambie su postura sobre esta cuestin. Quiero ser completamente honesto al respecto. ste no es un asunto sujeto a
supuestas reformas o modernizaciones. Admite, sin embargo, que no se ha hecho lo suficiente para apoyar a mujeres que
se encuentran en situaciones muy desesperadas, como cuando
la vida que surge en ellas es producto de una violacin o se da
en un contexto de extrema pobreza.
La defensa de la vida no se limita a la vida humana, sino que
tambin se extiende al cuidado de todos los seres creados que,
a menudo quedan a merced de los intereses econmicos o de
un uso indiscriminado. Pide el Papa que no dejemos que a
nuestro paso queden signos de destruccin y de muerte que
afecten nuestra vida y la de las futuras generaciones.
En este mismo contexto de la defensa de la vida, se dedica la
siguiente seccin al bien comn y la paz, para los que el Papa
define cuatro principios que brotan de la Doctrina Social de la
Iglesia:

El tiempo es superior al espacio. Esto permite planificar y

buscar soluciones a largo plazo, sin saltar a conclusiones
rpidas.
La unidad prevalece sobre el conflicto.
La realidad es ms importante que la idea. La realidad es lo
que es, pero la idea se puede elaborar y, por lo tanto, tergiversar. Este criterio nos lleva a impulsar la prctica, a
realizar obras de justicia para que la Palabra sea fecunda.
El todo es superior a la parte. A los cristianos este principio
nos habla de la totalidad del Evangelio que la Iglesia nos
transmite y nos enva a predicar. El evangelio tiene un
criterio de totalidad que le es inherente: no termina de ser
Buena Noticia hasta que no es anunciado a todos.
