From the Pastor s Desk Dear Folks, Today s Gospel is the final event of the Epiphany: Jesus baptism at the Jordan River by John. The Christmas season officially (liturgically) comes to an end today at the banks of the Jordan. Jesus is no longer the child in a Bethlehem manger but the adult Redeemer making his way to Jerusalem. The good news spoken by the angels continues to unfold; the most wondrous part of the Christ story is yet to be revealed. Today, the same Spirit that anoints the Messiah for his mission us to be about the work of Christmas in this new year: to seek out and find the lost, to heal the hurting, to feed the hungry, to free the imprisoned, to rebuild nations, to bring peace to all peoples everywhere. Luke presents Jesus as the last person to be baptized by John, bringing John s ministry to completion. Luke describes the scene with many images from the First Testament: the sky opens ( Oh, that you would rend the heavens and come down Isaiah 63: 19); the Spirit descended upon him like a dove (many rabbis likened the wind above the waters at the dawn of Genesis to a dove hovering above its newborn; in employing this image, Luke suggests that, in this Jesus, a new Genesis is about to take place); the voice from heaven identifies and confirms Jesus ( Here is my servant... my chosen one with whom I am pleased Isaiah 42: 1, today's first reading; The Lord said to me, You are my Son; this day I have begotten you Psalm 2: 7). Jesus baptism at the Jordan becomes the moment of God's anointing of his Messiah, the word Messiah means anointed, for the work he is about to do. Baptism is more than just a naming ceremony but an ongoing process of becoming the people of faith that God calls us to be. In baptism, we claim the name of Christian and embrace all that that holy name means: to live for others rather than for ourselves, in imitation of Christ. Our baptisms made each one of us the servant of today's readings: to bring forth in our world the justice, reconciliation and enlightenment of Christ, the beloved Son and favor of God. In baptism, the same Spirit of compassion, justice and peace that descends upon Jesus at his baptism by John descends and rests upon us, compelling us to take on the work of the Gospel. Fr. Mike Baptisms will be celebrated at Mass on the following weekends: February 16/17, April 13 (12:00 p.m. - Bishop Marconi presiding), April 27/28, May 18/19, June 8/9. Parents may choose the 5:30, 9:30, 11:00 or 12:30 Mass.

Outside St. Peter s The Lectio Prayer DVD Series with Dr. Tim Gray Have you ever had an experience in prayer where you felt deeply, intimately connected to God? Have you ever felt like you were merely talking to yourself during prayer? Chances are most of us have experienced both ends of the spectrum. This series will explore the importance of approaching prayer as a two-way conversation. Our speaking to God is one part of the conversation. Often it s the other part, God speaking to us, with which most people struggle. Does God speak to us? And, if so, how do we hear him?
