We have lost that idea of something having to ‘die’ in the candidate in order for them to be reborn to new life.

Franciscan friar and spiritual writer, Richard Rohr, offers some very challenging words to us concerning our celebration of (particularly adult) baptism. He writes that, regrettably, we have moved away from the ancient symbolism of baptism as a ‘drowning’ rite (by full immersion) in which the candidate ‘faced’ their own mortality before they were ready for mature adult life. We have lost that idea of something having to ‘die’ in the candidate in order for them to be reborn to new life.

THE DEEP END • THE BAPTISM OF THE LORD
In Luke’s account of the baptism of Jesus we hear that Jesus
was at prayer after his baptism, when the heaven opened and the Holy Spirit descended like a dove. This is main focus of Luke’s account of this story, he is the only Gospel writer who
says that Jesus was at prayer before ‘heaven opened’ and God’s voice was heard. A call to do God’s work can often be
preceded by a deep prayerful experience of God. Luke’s focus is on the experience of Jesus in this account but we are also called to see the revelation of God in ourselves and in others.
Perhaps you can recall when you suddenly saw a divine spark in someone you know or noticed a change in yourself because
of a deep experience.
We can recall moments in our own lives when we experienced God tenderly and lovingly saying to us, ‘you are my son/
daughter’; ‘you are my beloved’; ‘my favour rests on you’. Very often experiences such as these are simple events. They
can also call us to a greater commitment to our faith and our
relationship with God.
‘The descent into the waters of our spirit, is a journey into the presence
of divinity… all human beings are children of God but not all live in the
awareness that there is ‘that of God’ within them’ W.L. Wallace
