the baptism of the lord january 11, 2015 JMJ JMJ 6 January 2015 6 de enero 2015 My Dearest Parish Family, God be with us always Querida Familia Parroquial, Dios esté siempre con nosotros! So are things back to normal? This is the question several of my friends asked me during the days following Christmas. My knee jerk response is to say yes to keep it short, but upon further reflection and prayer the answer I would have given is, No it is not back to normal. The reason being that the Advent and Christmas Season with everything that it entails, should have had a lasting effect in my life, and in our lives, which means things cannot go back to normal. The Spirit and Essence of the Season should have brought significant blessings and changes in our life and the way we live from Christmas day. The New Year gives us a perfect opportunity to reorder our lives, let the Light of the Spirit emanating from the Christ Child in the manger keep guiding our minds and warming our hearts. As we celebrate the Baptism of the Lord let us reflect and pray on how to bring into our lives the gifts of our adoption into God s Family: faith, hope and love. Our sharing in the Mission of our Saviour Jesus Christ is to bring the good news to all the world. May we all agree that indeed things are not back to normal because we have faith, hope and love incarnate with us; Jesus the Emmanuel. "Entonces, las cosas vuelven a la normalidad?" Esta es la pregunta que varios de mis amigos me hicieron durante los días siguientes a la Navidad. Mi respuesta instintiva es decir sí para hacerlo breve, pero después de reflexionar y de orar, la respuesta que debí haber dado es no, no he vuelto a la normalidad. La razón es que el tiempo de Adviento y Navidad, deberían haber tenido un efecto duradero en mi vida, en nuestras vidas lo que significa que "las cosas no pueden volver a la normalidad." El Espíritu y la Esencia de la Temporada deberían haber traído bendiciones y cambios significativos en nuestra vida y nuestra forma de vivir desde el día de Navidad. El año nuevo nos da una oportunidad perfecta para volver a ordenar nuestras vidas, dejemos que la Luz del Espíritu que emana del Niño Jesús en el pesebre se mantenga guiando nuestras mentes y calentando nuestros corazones. La celebración del Bautismo del Señor, nos permite reflexionar y orar en cómo traer a la vida los dones recibidos en nuestra adopción en la familia de Dios: la fe, la esperanza y el amor. Nuestro compartir en la misión de nuestro Salvador Jesucristo de llevar la Buena Nueva a todo el mundo. Permítanse todos estar de acuerdo en que de hecho "las cosas no han vuelto a la normalidad" porque tenemos la fe, la esperanza y el amor encarnados con nosotros: Jesús el Emmanuel. God bless and take care. Love and prayers, Fr. Thomas Paul K. Naval Dios los bendiga y cuídense. Con mi amor y mis oraciones, Fr. Thomas Paul K. Naval

Permítanme compartir mi testimonio. No recuerdo los eventos del día en que me bautizaron, pero tengo años recordando que, gracias a Dios y mis padres, estoy bautizado. Trato de vivir mi vida recordando mi bautismo, buscando que mi comportamiento sea digno de una persona bautizada. Fui bautizado al mes de haber nacido, y confirmado cuando tenía sólo un añito (eran otros tiempos). Hice mi primera (y no última) comunión a los siete años. Continuaba asistiendo a las clases de catecismo (doctrina), no obstante, cuando cumplí 17 años, sentí que algo me faltaba. Mis amigos protestantes me invitaban a sus Iglesias, pero yo buscaba a Dios en mi Iglesia católica. Un día, gracias al grupo carismático recibí el bautismo en el Espíritu Santo y desde ese momento mi vida cambió. Ahora sé que el Espíritu lo había recibido en mi Bautismo, Confirmación y Primera Comunión, lo único que debía hacer era permitirle actuar en mi vida. Creo que en la vida de muchos cristianos, el Espíritu Santo sigue esperando que le den permiso de actuar. Y tú, qué esperas? Pídele al Espíritu que se mueva en tí y vive tu Bautismo.
