Tuesday 2nd, February (Baptism of the Lord)
I.                   Mal 3: 1-4
II.                Heb 2: 14-18
III.             Lk 2: 22-40
Theme:  The meaning of  baptism
The True Lamb arrives at last to the place of offering. The Temple was above all a place of sacrifice to gain God’s favour. It was a place of expiation to free oneself of the inheritance of sin, and a place of prayer to offer fitting honour and praise to the one true God. And here, on this day, in the arms of Mary, comes the only sacrifice that counts, for without him no other sacrifice has meaning, whether in sacred rituals or our personal lives.
In the simple rite of consecration; the Son is going to recognize his belonging to the Father.Mary reflects to the world what has been communicated to her by her Son, who is flesh of her flesh. In our ordinary life, we elevate the meaning of small events in union with Christ. Flesh of our flesh by grace, he enables us to live a consecration to a mission in his name. Our acts are made from the power of Christ’s living presence moving our heart and will.
Yes, Christ gives us the privilege to speak the words that echo from his heart. Over time he perfects this language in us if we are faithful to the cross in our life. My baptismal consecration is all about speaking from what is in the heart of Christ so that his words ‘pierce my own heart’ and replace that heart of stone with a new heart. May the walls of my heart be adorned with purity, honesty and upright intention in all I say and do. May its floors, upon which you walk, be sealed with modesty and sincerity and lead you to an undivided heart.
