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 stuff that binds the very cells of
our bodies together. No wonder religions throughout all mes and
cultures have used it so prominently. When Jesus stepped into the
Jordan for bap sm, 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 Bap st, Christ wove himself into
the prophe c tradi on
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
bap sm of repentance, Jesus iden fied himself with our sinful,
frail humanity. It is
through the waters of bap sm that Christ con nues to gra new
members onto his Body, the Church; through these waters we are
cleansed from sin
and filled with the promise of grace, given our des ny for
eternal life. For us, as for Jesus, it is also the waters of bap sm
that inaugurate our mission to
proclaim the Good News.
Please consider a gi to the Christmas Flower Fund to help defray
the cost of the flowers/plants
that are beau fully displayed in our churches during the
Christmas season. Simply notate on the memo of your check “Flower
Fund”. Checks can be placed in the collec on or mailed to the
Parish Office. Thank you.
Please make a note that there will be a special Mar n Luther
King Jr. Holiday
Mass on Monday, January 18th at 9:00 AM at St. Patrick. There
will no Mass on
January 19th and 20th (Tuesday and Wednesday). In observance of
the
Holiday, the Parish Office will be closed on January 18th.
