The Baptism of the Lord January 10, 2021

The Pastor’s Keyboard—Msgr. Richard Huneger Early Christians loved celebrating Christmas on December 25 as a counterpoint to the Winter Solstice, when the days would perceptively start to get longer. They saw Christ's Nativity as the rising of the "Sun of Justice" (a moral light) destined to reach everywhere with its "healing rays" (or, with "healing in its wings," Mal 4:1). Hark, the Herald Angels Sing is familiar to us: "Hail, the heaven-born Prince of Peace! Hail the Son of Righteous-ness! Light and life to all He brings, Risen with healing in His wings." Because the Sun is the brightest light in the sky, it "rules," as it were, over all the other lights. Today we celebrate the Baptism of the Lord, which in Eastern Rite tradition is called "The Epipha-ny of the Lord," that is, the "manifestation" of Jesus as God (the "beloved Son, to whom we are to listen"), as Highest Lord, as Sun of Justice, as our guiding light, as the light that enables the faithful to judge the lesser lights that we call "political affairs." In the Ameri-can tradition it is the "conscience" of the people that through elections, and legislators chosen in these elections, keeps "steering" the laws toward "fairness," where things are "off track." James Madison took criticism that the American experiment (July 4th, and the Constitution, for our nation as a "Republic," not a "Democracy") was doomed to fail. He replied that we would succeed, nevertheless, because Americans were essentially unani-mous in their morality (a Protestant Christian morality, since Catholics, Jews, Muslims, and the like, made up less than 1% of the population). That agreement at the level of moral principle, he said, would keep guiding the ship of state, to prevent tyranny, and to preclude excessive deleterious effects from imperfect laws, by reforming them in the light of the conscience of the electorate, choosing new representatives. But what if moral consensus breaks down? Will Madison's critics prove true? Today's American citizenry no longer have a simple "variety of opinion" within an overall basic agreement about life, its purpose, the existence of God, an afterlife, and so on. Instead we are increasingly polarized regarding our anthropology and theology. On the one hand Christianity lives from a tight correlation between the human and divine (we are "in the image of God"), and specifically between the human and divine natures of Christ, united in his divine person, and our participation in Christ's divinity through participation in his perfect humanity (as members of his Body, in the Communion of Saints). Our whole life here below is a training and rehearsal for our life hereafter, growing to know, love, and serve God, and finding our happiness in "hallowing" his name, which will be our whole identity as citizens of heaven, doing nothing but giving credit where credit is due (that is, to God) (cfr Mt 6:9, Ps 103:1, Eph 1:23, Col 1:19, 1Cor 15:28). Social by nature, we find fulfillment through integration within an organic reality, each sacrificing all for all and receiving all from all (1Cor 12), and as Church functioning as a "sacrament," that is, as a living communal sign of union with God and and of the potential salutary unity of the whole human race, and as an instrument for realizing all that. On the other hand, we have a dizzying array of competing ideologies and superstitions, fads, and forces, based in a materialist concept of life, godless, pointless, often "post-truth" in philosophical outlook, with nothing but "power" as the end justifying any means, and denying that there is an "ought" built into reality, as well as an "is." While typically purveying an "evolutionary" image of life and morality, there is no sense of a true "history" of mankind or of the uni-verse along a narrative path that leads anywhere, let alone starting from the hands of God as "Alpha" and attracted magnetically, so to speak, to a true "finality" that is God as "Omega." There is, to be sure, a program of life: "Eat, drink, and be merry for tomorrow we die" (1Cor 15:32, Is 22:13, Wis 2:1-9). And it is ruthlessly pursued in a "cancel cul-ture" approach, to destroy "the just man" whose conscience is a "reproach to us" (Wis 2:9-24; compare this with the description of the Crucifixion in Mark and parallels). We see it happening in spades today in America. The root divide is the difference between what "equality" means. "Socialism" de-mands absolute central control, a tyranny bereft of the lights of "the many"; it yields inevitable grinding poverty, attendant upon shriveled incentives for creativity, because it focuses on "equality of outcome," regardless of personal initiative and effort; human moti-vation flags; and resentment is continually stoked to force divisions and violent reduction of existing relations to ashes. But "Democracy" with its decentralized control, fosters individual initiative (and equality of "opportunity" but not of "outcome"), with proportion-ate rewards. Think Ant and Grasshopper. Or "You render, O Lord, to everyone, according to his deeds" (Ps 62:12, Mt 16:27, Rom 2:6).

Lauado Si # 101 It would hardly be helpful to describe symptoms without acknowledging the human origins of the ecological crisis. A certain way of understanding human life and activity has gone awry, to the serious detriment of the world around us. Should we not pause and consider this? At this stage, I propose that we focus on the dominant technocratic paradigm and the place of human beings and of human action in the world.

Covid has been devastating to our students nationwide. In an effort to get students back in school, to keep our stu-dents safe, and to help working families, St. Joseph Catholic School is opening the classrooms as school and daycare for half days, beginning in the end of January.

Following all of the Covid regulations and restrictions, we will be able to hold classes with no more than 20 students in each. We will be able to hold instruction time for the first two hours of each day. After that, students will be able to have recess, work on homework, or hold PE or art classes in the classroom with their teacher until 12:30 each day, when they would go home for lunch (or join our Extended Care program).

We have been able to be open during the fall with just two hours of instruction, and have had tremendous success. At this writing, we have had NO cases of Covid among our students or our faculty at all. Our students are testing as high academically as we have traditionally, despite being online all of last spring. We are proud of the students that we have here. We would like to offer your family the opportunity to come in for a tour and find out if St. Joseph Catholic School is the right choice for your children.

Reflexión del Bautismo del Señor

“CELEBREMOS EL BAUTISMO DE JESÚS”

El día que Jesús se presentó entre los pecadores para recibir un bautismo de penitencia de manos de Juan, mientras oraba “se abrió el cielo y el Espíritu Santo bajó sobre él en forma sensible

como de una paloma”.

♦ En ese momento Jesús iniciaba su vida pública, y quiso representar a quienes iba a redimir en la cruz.

♦ Pero el Padre del cielo hizo constar: “Tú eres mi Hijo, el predilecto; en ti me complazco”, con lo cual indicaba que en

realidad Jesús no necesitaba ser perdonado de nada, ya que estaba totalmente libre de pecado.

♦ Todos nosotros nacimos con la triste herencia del pecado original, y cuando recibimos el sacramento del Bautismo,

quedamos libres de todo pecado y fuimos hechos “hijos en el Hijo”, y nuestro Padre también se complació en nosotros.

♦ Por eso se nos bautiza desde pequeños, porque la Iglesia quiere que gocemos de la gracia de Dios, que nos santifica

y nos configura con Cristo, para poder integrarnos plenamente al Cuerpo Místico desde una edad temprana.

Cuando celebramos el Bautismo de Jesús, celebramos nuestro propio Bautismo.
