BAPTISM OF THE LORD. A year

"When Thou, O Lord,

you were baptized in the Jordan,

the worship of the Trinity was made manifest.

I bore witness called Son beloved

and the Holy Spirit as a dove,

conformed the word infallible.

O Christ God that you have revealed yourself to us and you brighten the world,

glory to Thee! "

Then Jesus came from Galilee to Jordan unto John to be baptized by him. John tried to deter him, saying: "I need to be baptized by you and you come to me? ". But Jesus said, "Leave it for now, it is fitting to fulfill all righteousness." Then John consented. Newly baptized, Jesus left the water: and lo, the heavens opened and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. And a voice from heaven said, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."

In the words of the Prophet Isaiah, we discover one of the secrets of the most exciting festival that we celebrate today. They are revealed in the heart and the eyes of God to every person. No one is lost, even those who find themselves overwhelmed by a sea of \u200b\u200bdeath, even those who threw a stone mill around the neck, lying in the bottom of the sea with no light and life because of his sins. Jesus brought to this earth the eyes of God. A look of hope and stubborn hope. The Servant of God, as in a overture summarizing the dominant theme of the symphony, after the temptations in secret, rushed to the waters of the Jordan, to go down the lowest point on earth. No coincidence that the Orthodox Church celebrates the baptism of Jesus as the Feast of the event. God has revealed Himself to the world diving in the waters of death. Jesus wanted from the beginning of his mission, manifest the justice of God. The infinite mercy eagerly looking man lost, doomed, dead. Hope tried despair. The sublimity of Heaven sought the depths of the earth. The heart of God has attempted deception of the flesh. Heavenly Wisdom tried the foolish falsehood in the world.

Where each of us sees only a bruised reed, a wick that is about to go off, the eyes of God they see a wonderful future. Where our eyes sees not that rubble, God sees the seed of new life. Where everything seems to come to its end , He sees the principle, development and the fulfillment of something extraordinary. Only his eyes, the eyes of Jesus that have hurt the heart of Matthew and Zacchaeus, the Magdalene, the disciples of John, a great multitude of saints, only his eyes can pierce the thick wall of despair, ' inevitable, and discover in the depths of the sea of \u200b\u200bdeath, a throb of life. The eyes of Jesus, though steeped in tears and compassion as a powerful telescope, look further, and discovered that none of us can see.

science every day pushes further into the border between life and death. But, inevitably, must then stop and declare brain death and put an end to existence. It 's a bit what we do and try and try to resolve questions and problems, to free ourselves from the bonds and fears, to get out of sin and deceit that falls to the seabed, which cracks and off our life. And when each resource is exhausted, pronounced dead that experience, that relationship, that friendship, that attempt. Throw up your hands and surrender, some have lost again. Tried and failed, and decree the end.

Jesus no. Jesus sees in the failure of the certainty that there is still hope, because the flame still shines in our eyes off his. And 'This is the Righteousness of God that Jesus reveals to us, the overthrow of all human justice. This, our, and revenge strikes, locks and remove hope, and break off too much weakness that abortion is not the case, the imperfect, the flask, and removing the plug to the useless. The Righteousness of God is Christ crucified, a stumbling block and foolishness. For this falls into the depths of the earth, leaving dip in the waters of the Jordan, as in every flood has submerged our existence. It comes to meet us, to lay the hope in the midst of despair, victory in defeat, life in death. He meets us, and rekindles the flame that was about to go out, straighten the rod that was about to break. He alone can perform this miracle, because he only looks beyond appearances, he only has eyes to see a bit of light among the darkest shadows. The eyes of God

why today's baptism by John, that he should baptize with the Holy Spirit and fire. Even today it is to be baptized by each of us, madness and folly that only God could have devised, the Creator in the hands of the creature, as it will be in Jerusalem, to Calvary in the hands of his captors. Today we leave our deep dive, in our darkness, in the weakness that led us to extinguish hope. And 'here in front of us, as it was before Peter , kneeling to wash his feet. Now, before us the God the servant, the purest love, free, infinite. The love that asks only to let soak in our life, character, thought more terrible, in opinions, in lust, in deceit, hypocrisy, the greed, idolatry in, the betrayals, in adultery, in the passions, into superficiality, vanity, pride in, to destroy them in the fire of his mercy. Jesus is now before us, humble, and beg to be loved by him, for free.

If you have pronounced john todas las words and revealed all the mysteries

to like stars in the sky,

are to become a life-giving force for the rest of men

and the splendors of the light that shines in the sky I make shine,

as lights perfect

with his immense light,

illuminated with more purity and clarity of the Trinity,

whose only lightning sprung from the only Deity,

have initially received in Christ Jesus our Lord,

who would be given the glory and the power for ever and ever.

Amen.

In the words of the prophet Isaiah discovered one of the most thrilling secrets of the Feast we celebrate today. They are revealed the heart and the sight of God for each person. Nobody is lost, too who is immersed in a sea of \u200b\u200bdeath, who is also, lying with a grinding stone to the neck, lying on the seabed without light and life because of their sins. Jesus has been on this earth God's eye. A look of hope and stubborn hope. The Servant of God, like an overture that summarizes the dominant theme of the symphony, after the temptations in secrecy, has rushed to the waters of Jordan, to descend into the lowest point on earth. Not surprising that the Orthodox Church celebrates the baptism of Jesus as the Feast of the Manifestation. God has revealed to the world sinking into the waters of death. Jesus wanted, from the beginning of his mission, to show God's justice. Infinite mercy ardently seeks man lost, hopeless, dead. Hope has sought despair. The sublimity of Heaven has searched the depths of the earth. The heart of God has searched the deception of the flesh. Celestial Wisdom has looked foolish in the world lie.

Where each of us sees only a cane cracked a lock that is about to go off, the eyes of God see a wonderful future. Where we look not envisioned that kills, God finds a seed of new life. Where everything seems to come to an end the vee the Initially, development and the fulfillment of something special. Only his eyes, the eyes of Jesus that have hurt the heart of Matthew and Zaccheus, of Madalena, the disciples of John, a great multitude of saints, only their eyes they manage to cross the thick wall of despair, of the inevitable , and discover, at the bottom of the sea of \u200b\u200bdeath, a beat of life. The eyes of Jesus, but soaked with tears and compassion, as a powerful telescope, look further and discover what none of us can see.

"agrees that to fulfill all righteousness"

Christ in baptism becomes light, we enter into his glory, and Christ was baptized, inabissiamoci with him to go with him to glory ...

John gives the baptism, Jesus came to him, perhaps to sanctify man by whom was baptized in water, but also certain to bury the old man completely in the water. Sanctifies the first Jordan to sanctify us and sanctifies us. And because it was spirit and flesh, sanctified in the Spirit and water (Jn 3:4). The Baptist does not accept the request, but Jesus insists, "I need esseree baptized from you, "says the lamp to the Sun (John 5, 35), the bridegroom's friend (John 3, 29), who is the greatest among those born of women to the firstborn of every creature (Matt. 11.11; Col 1:15).

Jesus rises from the water and brings up all the whole cosmos. Break down and see the heavens opened, those heavens that Adam had closed for himself and all his descendants, those wide open skies and precluded, as a paradise by the sword fiammegiante (Jan 3, 24). And the Spirit testifies to the divinity of Christ is symbolically presented above is the one who's all the same. A voice from the depths of heaven, from the same depth from which came at that time who received the testimony. The spirit appears visibly as a dove, and in this way, also honors our flesh divine.

"In Him I put all my love"

Christ, Creator of all things fell as rain, became known as the source, poured like a river (I 6.3, Jn 4.14, 7.38 ) and we see him baptized in the Jordan ... Source unavailable, overflowing with life for all men and that has no end, it was hidden by a poor and ephemeral waters. One who is present in everything, that nothing is missing, which is unavailable to angels and invisible to men, comes to the baptism of his own accord ...

"He saw the heavens opened and the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him. And there came a voice from heaven saying, 'This is my beloved Son, my beloved'. "beloved Son begets love, and light breeds heritage" unapproachable light "(1 Tim 6.16). "This is my beloved Son ... In Noah's Ark Dove said the love of God to men (Gen. 8:11). Now the Spirit descends in the guise of a dove, as it brought an olive branch, sits above one of whom bears witness. Why? In order to understand with certainty that the voice of the Father ... "The voice of the Lord upon the waters, the God of glory thunders, the Lord of the rushing waters" (Ps. 28.3) What does this voice? "This is my beloved Son, my favorite. In I put him all my love. " Is he who is called son of Joseph, and my only Son as the divine. "This is my beloved Son, my beloved 'hungry and fed to countless multitudes, suffering and relief to the suffering. Has nowhere to lay his head and he has everything in his hand, suffering and cure the suffering. Beat him, but given the world the freedom you cross the repairs cost more than Adam's side.
