Solemnity of the Baptism of the Lord
-DID YOU KNOW…the Solemnity of the Baptism of the Lord is celebrated after Epiphany and is
the last major feast of the Christmas season. It commemorates the Baptism of Jesus in the Jor-
dan River by His cousin John the Baptist. This Solemnity signals the next season of the Church.
On this day, the Holy Father celebrates the sacrament of Baptism by baptizing a few select indi-
viduals, usually in the Sistine Chapel. Pope Francis has invited all Christians to celebrate their
Baptism day as the day the Lord gave them the Holy Spirit to guide them in their lives.
Living The Word of God:
St. John writes these beautiful words at the beginning of his first letter: "We declare to you what was from the
beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we have looked at and touched with our
hands, concerning the word of life— this life was revealed, and we have seen it and testify to it, and declare to you
the eternal life that was with the Father and was revealed to us— we declare to you what we have seen and heard
so that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus
Christ. We are writing these things so that our joy may be complete." (1 John 1:1-4)
Matthew’s account of Jesus’ baptism differs from the accounts of the other
evangelists in one important respect. Matthew is the only evangelist who tells of
John’s reluctance to baptize Jesus. In order to understand this exchange, it is
helpful to consider the verses immediately preceding today’s Gospel. Matthew
describes the process of baptism in three steps. First, the initiate seeks out John.
Jesus has done this. Second, the person wades into the Jordan River. Jesus is prepared to do this.
Third, the person acknowledges his or her sins. Cleary, for Jesus this is not possible. Therefore,
John tries to stop him. Jesus’ simple response is enough to convince John otherwise: “Allow it now,
for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness” (Matthew 3:15). Even though he himself has
not sinned, he will take the sins of others upon himself in order to fulfill his mission.
