The Baptism of the Lord

January 10, 2016

A Letter from Our Pastor Baptism, New Life and New Opportunities Today we celebrate the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord. For many years, the Feast of Epiphany (last weekend) and the Feast of the Baptism were celebrated together on the same day. This celebration completed the theophany of Christ. Theophany means "a revelation of God". Christ's revealing began in prophetic form in the Old Testament, continued with his Incarnation at Christmas and then is shared with the nations on Epiphany. At the time of the Baptism, Jesus is revealed as an adult, and affirmed by the Father: "This is my beloved son, with whom I am well pleased."

The esteemed liturgist Nathan Mitchell has this to say, "A Christian parish become its best self when it accepts the challenge of community. The parish community, as the real expression of a local church, cannot limit its attention to the search for justice and intimacy among its own members; it must be prepared to take up the cross, standing against evil and injustice wherever they exist in the world."

A parish is a community of baptized believers and disciples. Here at Sacred Heart of Jesus, we have our own special work and ministry. We support a parish school, which means there is never quite enough money or resources. This is a reality of Catholic school parishes. As such, we strive to be Christ's Baptism was the beginning of his public efficient: to serve all our parishioners in all their many ministry. In reflecting on that reality this weekend, we needs. But as Mr. Mitchell states, baptism calls us contemplate our own baptisms. Our baptisms (for not just to take care of ourselves, but to be the voice most of us unremembered in our infancy) also began of Christ in areas of injustice and evil, and to our public ministry. Baptism is not just a celebration challenge them wherever they flourish. of new life, but also of new discipleship. That tiny child, brought to the baptismal font by his or her As baptism points us all toward a newness of life, my parents is promised to God and committed to His prayer is for all of us to take on the challenge during service. It is not a simple superstition, but a this Year of Mercy to be that voice of Christ in our theological fact. Baptism is not an act of magic, but parish and world. The opportunity is there, and more an entrance through commitment with Christ into a profoundly realized at the dawning of a new lived disciple relationship which continues throughout year. God bless you all this year of our Lord 2016. one's life. Father Chris Renner

Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish Selected to Participate in National Study!

Please help us participate by completing a 10-to-15-minute survey online. The survey will be emailed to you by [email protected] and will only be available from the week of Jan 18 through Ash Wednesday, Feb 10. The survey asks you to reflect on your own spiritual growth and provide feedback on what the parish is doing to help you grow. All responses will be confidential and the parish will only receive information about the community as a whole. We are trying to get the highest response rate possible. This information will be invaluable to me and our various ministries as we plan ahead and try to be the best disciples we can be. We will receive the results this summer, at which time we will share what we have learned with the entire parish.

Carta de Nuestro Pastor BAUTISMO, NUEVO VIDA Y NUEVAS OPORTUNIDADES 10 de Enero del 2016 Hoy celebramos la fiesta del Bautismo del Señor. Durante muchos años, la Fiesta de la Epifanía (la semana pasada) y la Fiesta del Bautismo se celebraban juntas en el mismo día. Esta celebración ha completado la "teofanía" de Cristo. Teofanía significa "una revelación de Dios". Reveladora de Cristo que comenzó en forma profética en el Antiguo Testamento, continuó con su encarnación en Navidad, y luego se comparte en la Epifania con las naciones. En el momento del bautismo, Jesús se revela como un adulto, y confirmado por el Padre: "Este es mi hijo amado, en quien tengo complacencia". El bautismo de Cristo fue el comienzo de su ministerio público. Al reflexionar sobre esa realidad este fin de semana, contemplemos nuestros propios bautismos. Nuestros bautismos (para la mayoría de nosotros no recordada en nuestra infancia) también comienzo a nuestro ministerio público. El bautismo no es sólo una celebración de la nueva vida, sino también del nuevo discipulado. Ese niño pequeño, llevado a la pila bautismal por sus padres se prometió a Dios, y se comprometió a su servicio. No es una superstición simple, sino un hecho teológico. El bautismo no es un acto de magia, pero una entrada a través del compromiso con Cristo en una relación discípulo duradera, que continúa a lo largo de la vida de uno. Nathan Mitchel, el liturgista estimado, tiene esto que decir: "Una parroquia cristiana convertida, esta mejor establecida cuando acepta el reto de la comunidad. La comunidad de la parroquia, como la expresión auténtica de una iglesia local, no puede limitar su atención a la búsqueda de la justicia y la intimidad entre sus propios miembros: debe estar preparada para tomar la cruz, de pie contra el mal y la injusticia dondequiera que existan en el mundo ". Una parroquia es una comunidad de creyentes y discípulos bautizados. Aquí en el Sagrado Corazón de Jesús, tenemos nuestro propio trabajo especial y ministerio. Apoyamos una escuela parroquial, lo que significa que nunca hay suficiente dinero o recursos. Esta es una realidad de las parroquias con escuelas católicas. Como tal, nos esforzamos por ser eficientes; para servir a todos nuestros feligreses en todas sus muchas necesidades. Pero, como dice el señor Mitchel, el bautismo nos llama no sólo a cuidar de nosotros mismos, pero para ser la voz de Cristo en las áreas de la injusticia y el mal, y desafiar a donde quiera que florecen. El Bautismo nos apunta hacia una nueva vida, mi oración para todos nosotros es para asumir el reto en este Año de la Misericordia en ser la voz de Cristo en nuestra parroquia y en el mundo. La oportunidad está ahí, y más profundamente se dio cuenta en el amanecer de un nuevo año. Dios los bendiga a todos este año del Señor de 2016.
