“COME AND SEE” ADULT FORMATION Wednesday, January 13, 2010, 6:45 p.m. We will begin with Vespers in the Chapel.

APOSTLES OF THE GOOD NEWS: The baptism of Jesus by his cousin, John, may seem odd to us. Here are all the people lining up who have responded to John’s call to repent and be baptized and who are then urged by him to go and live good lives. Here also is Jesus, quietly waiting his turn, and we wonder: Why does the Savior of the world need baptism? This, as we might expect, is not to be a simple baptism of water. As John the Baptist had foretold, the heavens open and power pours down upon Jesus from the Holy Spirit. He is revealed as the Beloved Son, the one Saint Paul later described as the one “who gave himself for us to deliver us from all lawlessness and to cleanse for himself a people as his own, eager to do what is good” (Titus 2:14). After he was raised from the dead and before his ascension into heaven, Jesus appeared to his disciples, or followers. He reminded them that John had baptized with water, but that they “in a few days . . . will be baptized with the Holy Spirit” (Acts 1:5). At Pentecost the power of the Holy Spirit fills his followers. They become his apostles, the ones sent forth, and begin to take the Good News of the Savior out into the world—healing, forgiving, binding up wounds, teaching, and preaching—all in his name. We too are disciples, always learning more about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, but we are also his apostles in the world today. In the words of the great Saint Teresa of Ávila: Christ has no body now but yours, no hands, no feet on earth but yours, yours are the eyes with which he looks compassion on this world, yours are the feet with which he walks to do good, yours are the hands with which he blesses all the world.
