    Dear Family and Friends in Jesus Christ…,

    The Christmas season, celebrating the Self-revelation of God through Jesus, comes to an end with the feast of the Baptism of Our Lord. Christmas is the feast of God's Self-revelation to the Jews, and Epiphany celebrates God's Self-revelation to the Gentiles. At His Baptism in the Jordan, Christ reveals Himself to repentant sinners. The Baptism of the Lord Jesus is the great event celebrated by the Eastern churches on the feast of the Epiphany because it is the occasion of the first public revelation of all the Three Persons in the Holy Trinity, and the official revelation of Jesus as the Son of God to the world by God the Father.

    The baptism marks the beginning of Jesus' public ministry. His baptism by John was an especially important event in the life of Jesus. First, it was a moment of identification with us sinners. Sinless, Jesus received the baptism of repentance to identify Himself with His people, who realized for the first time that they were sinners. Why did Jesus, the sinless Son of God, receive the "baptism of repentance" meant for sinners? In this humble submission, we see a foreshadowing of the "baptism" of his bloody death upon the cross. Jesus' baptism by John was the acceptance and the beginning of His mission as God's suffering Servant. He allowed Himself to be numbered among sinners. Jesus submitted himself entirely to His Father's will. Out of love, He consented to His baptism of death for the remission of our sins.

    There is an old Hindu parable about a tiger cub raised by goats. The cub learned to bleat and nibble grass and behave like a goat. One night a tiger attacked the goats, and the goats scattered for safety, but the tiger cub kept grazing and crying like a goat without getting frightened. The old tiger roared, "What are you doing here, living with these cowardly goats?" He grabbed the cub by the scruff, dragged him to a pond, and said: "Look how our faces reflected in water! Now you know who you are and whose you are." The tiger took the cub home, taught him how to catch animals, eat their meat, roar, and act like a tiger. The tiger cub thus discovered his true self.

    Today's Gospel seems to suggest that Jesus received from Heaven a fresh flash of realization of Who, and Whose, He really was (His identity) and of what He was supposed to do (His mission), on the day of his baptism in the River Jordan.

    The baptism of Jesus reminds us of our identity. It reminds us of who we are and whose we are. By Baptism, we become sons and daughters of God, brothers, and sisters of Jesus, members of His Church, heirs of Heaven, and temples of the Holy Spirit.

    Jesus' baptism reminds us also of our mission: a) to experience the presence of God within us, to acknowledge our own dignity as God's children, and to appreciate the Divine Presence in others by honoring them, loving them, and serving them in all humility; b) to live as the children of God in thought, word, and action c) to lead holy and transparent Christian lives and not to desecrate our bodies (the temples of the Holy Spirit and members of Jesus' Body), by impurity, injustice, intolerance, jealousy, or hatred; d) to accept both the good and the bad experiences of life as the gifts of a loving Heavenly Father for our growth in holiness; e) to grow daily in intimacy with God by personal and family prayers, by the meditative reading of the Word of God, by participating in the Holy Mass, and by frequenting the Sacrament of Reconciliation.

    “And a voice came from the heavens, ’You are my beloved son; with you I am well pleased.’” Mark 1:11

    Through our baptism, we too, are daughters and sons of God. We are disciples of Jesus. As true disciples we are called to actively participate in our Catholic faith, not just be mere bystanders. This means working in collaboration with the Holy Spirit and discerning how we are being asked to use our gifts. Using our gifts for the benefit of others and not just for our own interests and comfort.

    What’s My Name?

    The #WHATSMYNAMEMovement asks

    everyone to simply ask drivers “What’s my name?” before entering

    their vehicle to make sure it is the car they are

    supposed to enter.

    In Remembrance of Samantha Josephson
