Sacred Heart Catholic Church Second Sunday in Ordinary Time –January 15, 2017
Reflection from the Pastor: Today’s Gospel speaks about Jesus’ baptism and the special mission it
confers on him to fulfill God’s promise to Israel that they would be the light
of the nations. Our Lord’s baptism wasn’t necessary to forgive any sins,
since Our Lord is sinless. It shows Jesus’ submission to
God’s Law and it prepares the way for the institution of the
sacrament of baptism: “All authority in heaven and on earth
has been given to me. Go, therefore, and make disciples of
all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of
the Son, and of the Holy Spirit (Matt 28:13).” Our Lord
taught his disciples that baptism was necessary for salvation,
and so the Church follows Jesus’ teaching by baptizing even infants, a
practice that can be found in the Acts of the Apostles (cf. Acts 2:39, 16:15
and 16:33). Canon law governs our actions as Catholics, and it reminds
parents in Canon 867, no. 1: “Parents are obliged to take care that infants are
baptized in the first few weeks; as soon as possible after the birth or even
before it, they are to go to the pastor to request the sacrament for their child
and to be prepared properly for it.”
It is a serious sin of spiritual neglect not to have one’s child baptized in the
first weeks of life. Proper planning by parents and godparents ahead of the
birth ensures that the very minimal requirements of the Church for
preparation are met so that the baptism occurs at the proper time.

Meditación del Párroco: El Evangelio de hoy habla sobre el bautismo de Jesús y la misión especial que le confiere para cumplir la promesa de Dios
a Israel de que serían la luz de las naciones. El bautismo de Nuestro Señor no era necesario para perdonar pecados, ya que
Nuestro Señor es sin pecado. Muestra la sumisión de Jesús a la Ley de Dios y prepara el camino para la institución del
sacramento del bautismo: "Toda autoridad en el cielo y en la tierra me ha sido dada. Id, pues, y haced discípulos de todas
las naciones, bautizándolos en el nombre del Padre, y del Hijo, y del Espíritu Santo (Mateo 28:13).” Nuestro Señor enseñó
a sus discípulos que el bautismo era necesario para la salvación, y así la Iglesia sigue la enseñanza de Jesús bautizando
incluso a los niños, una práctica que se puede encontrar en los Hechos de los Apóstoles (Hechos 2:39, 16:15 y 16:33). El
derecho canónico gobierna nuestras acciones como católicos, y recuerda a los padres en el canon 867, núm. 1: "Los padres
tienen obligación de hacer que los hijos sean bautizados en las primeras semanas; cuanto antes después del nacimiento e
incluso antes de él, acudan al párroco para pedir el sacramento para su hijo y prepararse debidamente".
Es un pecado grave de negligencia espiritual no tener un hijo bautizado en las primeras semanas de vida. La planificación
adecuada por parte de los padres y los padrinos antes del nacimiento garantiza que los requisitos mínimos de la Iglesia para
la preparación se cumplen para que el bautismo ocurre en el momento adecuado.
