The Baptism of the Lord
Today the Church celebrates the Solemnity of the Baptism of Our
Lord. This brings to
an end the season of Christmas. The Church recalls Our Lord's
second manifestation
or epiphany which occurred on the occa-
sion of His baptism in the Jordan. Jesus
descended into the River to sanctify its
waters and to give them the power to
beget sons of God. The event takes on the
importance of a second creation in which
the entire Trinity intervenes.
In the Eastern Church this feast is called
Theophany because at the baptism of
Christ in the River Jordan God appeared
in three persons. The baptism of John was
a sort of sacramental preparatory for the Baptism of Christ. It
moved men to
sentiments of repentance and induced
them to confess their sins. Christ did not
need the baptism of John. Although He
appeared in the "substance of our flesh"
and was recognized "outwardly like unto
ourselves", He was absolutely sinless and
impeccable. He conferred upon the water
the power of the true Baptism which
would remove all the sins of the world:
"Behold the Lamb of God, behold Him Who takes away the sin of
the world". Many of
the incidents which accompanied Christ's baptism are symbolical
of what happened at
our Baptism. At Christ's baptism the Holy Spirit descended upon
Him; at our Baptism
the Trinity took its abode in our soul. At His baptism Christ
was proclaimed the
"Beloved Son" of the Father; at our Baptism we become the
adopted sons of God. At
Christ's baptism the heavens were opened; at our Baptism heaven
was opened to us.
At His baptism Jesus prayed; after our Baptism we must pray to
avoid actual sin. Ex-
cerpted from Msgr. Rudolph G. Bandas
Prayer for The Baptism of the Lord
Almighty ever-living God, who, when Christ had been baptized in
the River Jordan and
as the Holy Spirit descended upon him, solemnly declared him
your beloved Son, grant
that your children by adoption, reborn of water and the Holy
Spirit, may always be well
pleasing to you. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who
lives and reigns with
you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
Amen.
