3 Page 3 Reflections from Fr. Brian January 10, The Baptism of the Lord I remember a nature show that was on television sometime back. It was about a mama black bear that had given birth to two cubs. One cub died right away. Three weeks later the mother died. The remaining cub was left to fend for itself. An orphaned cub in that condition is like a walking buffet for predators. And of course the camera immediately showed a hungry-looking mountain lion. One day the orphan cub encountered a giant male black bear. The little cub cowered at the older bear s sheer mass. The larger bear peered around and seemed to realize that the mother bear wasn t anywhere to be found. He gave the little cub a friendly nudge. The camera then showed the little bear happily trailing along after the larger one. The adoption papers were signed, sealed and registered at the county seat. The camera followed along as Papa bear proceeded to show the cub how to grub for insects and how to catch fish and how to scratch his back against a tree. One day, the two bears became separated. The cub began to cry and looked frantically for his new father, but couldn t find him anywhere. The cub approached a stream where he d learned to fish and something caught his attention. He looked up to see a mountain lion ready to pounce. That same mountain lion had stalked the cub for the entire show. There was no way that mountain lion would ve gone for that cub with Papa bear around, but now. The camera zoomed in on the cub. He automatically mimicked the posture of his adopted father when threatened. He stood on his hind legs and bared his teeth. Then, in exactly the same way his new father would have done, this cub let loose a mighty growl that should have reverberated throughout the forest. But, only a tiny bear cub squeak came out. Well, you knew what was coming. This is the end for the little bear cub. But then an amazing reversal takes place. The mountain lion suddenly lowered his head and ran off in the opposite direction. The camera panned back to the proud little cub still standing on his hind legs. And then all the viewers saw what that little cub could not: a few yards behind him, at full, ferocious height, his sharp, white teeth bared in a snarl, stood Daddy bear. He may not have made a sound, but he was there. Even thought the cub couldn t see his father, his father stood guard, protecting him. The little cub had power available greater than anything he could produce on his own. His father was watching over him. My Brothers and sisters, remember your Heavenly Father is watching over you. Regardless of what fear you are facing this day, the daily anxieties of aging, the loss of job or whatever it might be turn it over to God. Let your prayer be, Daddy, I m afraid, but I know you are with me. Baptism opens us up to call God, Our Father just as Jesus taught us. He will not let us down. Thrust in Him to provide the grace we need to live our Faith in Jesus, His Son. YÜA UÜ tç
