The Baptism of the Lord January 13, 2019

January 13, 2019 PASTOR’S POTPOURRI— THE BAPTISM OF THE

LORD

Although December 26th is the end of the Christmas season for many people, the Church’s liturgical year extends the Christmas season to the Baptism of the Lord. Thus our crib is still in church. What does the Baptism of the Lord have to do with the Christmas season? The Baptism of our Lord is part of the Epiphany theme. Remember “epiphany” means manifestation. Last Sunday we celebrated God’s manifesting His Son to all the nations by the visit of the Magi. Today we celebrate God manifesting His Son to us as He begins His public ministry.

Next Sunday, we will remember another Epiphany theme in the marriage feast of Cana, as Jesus turns water into wine…His first miracle. May we be open to the ways in which our Lord manifests Himself to us in the everyday events of our life.

—Fr. Bob

SOLEMNITY OF THE BAPTISM OF THE LORD

We saw the musical “Dear Evan Hansen” last fall. The end-ing is very uplifting, but throughout the show the audience grieves for Evan, whose social anxiety is so terrible that he imagines himself forever waving through a window, with no hearing, no one seeing.

It reminded me of an odd incident several years ago. While walking our dog in the neighborhood, for some reason I turned back to the house I had just passed. There, waving frantically in the window, mouthing “Happy New Year,” were the darling kids who live in the house.

I waved and smiled and walked on, wondering at the unusual coincidence that, without seeing them in the window and without hearing them calling to me, I turned in their direction in time to see their warm greeting.

At Jesus’ baptism, the heavens opened, the voice of the Father spoke, and the Holy Spirit actually appeared in bodily form as a dove. But Luke doesn’t tell us who saw the dove, or who heard the voice. It happened, we know. But who besides Jesus (and the evangelist, who is Spirit-inspired) had eyes to see or ears to hear?

If we could train our eyes and ears, I’ll bet we too would see the heavens open, and hear the voice from heaven speak. This appearance of the Trinity—the Son coming out of the water, the Spirit resting as a dove, the Father speaking from heaven—was not a one-time event. Christ is always with us in our dyings and risings, the Spirit is always pointing us to the ways of peace, and the Father is always speaking to us.

Or, to put it another way, love and comfort and wisdom are constantly waving at us through Divine windows. Take a mo-ment to look back and notice.
