Weekly reflection
UPDATE FROM FATHER SIMON
Baptism of the Lord
'Jesus' is the gift that keeps on giving well beyond the warranty and lifespan of the gifts and tokens of love we will have given to and received from loved ones over Christmas. How do we receive this gift of Jesus? Baptism.
Baptism (from the Greek - to immerse/plunge) is the doorway or Sacrament into our Life with Christ.
At the moment of Baptism, through the humble gesture of a few drops of water and the prayer of Baptism the Holy Spirit is poured into our hearts, the theological virtues of Faith, Hope and Charity are gifted to us and we receive the Gifts of the Holy Spirit to guide us and empower us for the work entrusted to us.
This Sunday, Our Lord is himself Baptised by John in the River Jordan. We are told that at that moment 'the heavens were opened'. Let us pray that for us to the 'heavens may be opened'. Sometimes we may feel that Baptism is a gift that lies asleep in ourselves and others - and so it can be.
Like our Christmas gifts they can remain unopened, unappreciated and forgotten or they can be opened up, received with gratitude and joy - the choice is ours. Let us ask the Holy Spirit to awaken in us the grace and gift of our Baptism and our calling into our Life in Christ.
With every blessing and prayer
Father Simon
