2 Pastoral Reflection Reflecting on God's Word Margaret left the massage therapist feeling released from the stress of the last few months, renewed and energized. It was as though the memory in her muscles was erased and their power was unleashed by the therapist's healing touch and aromatic oils. The Rite of Baptism includes a kind of symbolic "massage" that has a similar purpose. The newly baptized are anointed with fragrant chrism and empowered by the Holy Spirit to live as members of Christ, who was anointed priest, prophet, and king. This connects Christians, the new Israel, to ancient Israel, in which priests, prophets, and kings were anointed to show that the Spirit of God was with them. It also connects us to Jesus, as today's scriptures show. In the second reading we hear that "God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power," after which he "went about doing good, for God was with him" (Acts 10:38). Matthew shows Jesus being symbolically anointed with the Holy Spirit as God's chosen Son, and the first reading describes what Jesus was chosen to do: establish "justice on the earth... open the eyes of the blind... bring out... those who live in darkness" (Isaiah 42:1, 7). In short, Jesus was chosen as the Messiah, or "Anointed One," of God who would inaugurate the messianic era. The baptized are chosen and anointed as well, to continue Christ's messianic mission in the church. --Virginia Stillwell Copyright (c) 2013, World Library Publications. All rights reserved. Reflexión Pastoral Reflexionemos sobre la Palabra de Dios Margarita salió del consultorio del masajista aliviada del estrés de los últimos meses, renovada y vigorizada. Fue como si la memoria de sus músculos se hubiera borrado y el poder de ellos se hubiera desatado por medio de las manos del masajista y de los aceites aromáticos. El rito del Bautismo incluye una clase de masaje simbólico, que tiene un propósito similar. Los recién bautizados son ungidos con el crisma fragante y habilitados por el Espíritu Santo para vivir como miembros de Cristo, quien fue ungido sacerdote, profeta y rey. Esto conecta a los cristianos, el nuevo Israel, con el antiguo Israel, en el cual los sacerdotes, los profetas y los reyes eran ungidos a fin de mostrar que el Espíritu de Dios estaba con ellos. También nos conecta a Jesús, tal como lo indican las Escrituras de hoy. En la segunda lectura escuchamos que Dios ungió [a Jesús de Nazaret] con el poder del Espíritu Santo, después de los cual él pasó haciendo el bien, porque Dios estaba con él (Hechos 10:38). Mateo presenta a Jesús siendo ungido simbólicamente con el Espíritu Santo como el Hijo predilecto de Dios, y la primera lectura describe aquello para lo cual fue escogido Jesús: para que manifieste el derecho a las naciones... para abrir los ojos a los ciegos... para sacar del calabozo... a los que viven en tinieblas (Isaías 42:1, 7). En breve, Jesús fue elegido como el Mesías, o el Ungido de Dios, que inauguraría la era mesiánica. Los bautizados también son elegidos y ungidos a fin de que continúen la misión mesiánica de Cristo en la Iglesia. Virginia Stillwell Derechos de autor 2013, World Library Publications.
