The Baptism of the Lord

January 11, 2015
All you who are thirsty, come to
the water!
Isaiah 55:1
THE WATERS OF BAPTISM
When new sod is put in, it needs constant saturation
with water. Landscapers say that this knits the sod to the
soil. The same when a branch is grafted onto a tree: the
poultice that joins them at the splice must be kept wet at all
times. Water is the stuff that binds the very cells of our
bodies together. No wonder religions throughout all times
and cultures have used it so prominently. When Jesus
stepped into the Jordan for baptism, he knit himself to
what had come before him. By going to the Jordan, he made
himself one with the people of Israel who had crossed it
into their Promised Land. With John the Baptist, Christ
wove himself into the prophetic tradition that heralded the
coming reign of God. He had become fully human in the
waters of Marys womb, and by partaking in the rite of the
baptism of repentance, Jesus identified himself with our
sinful, frail humanity. It is through the waters of baptism
that Christ continues to graft new members onto his Body,
the Church; through these waters we are cleansed from sin
and filled with the promise of grace, given our destiny for
eternal life. For us, as for Jesus, it is also the waters of
baptism that inaugurate our mission to proclaim the Good
News.
