And in today’s Gospel we find John the Bapst resisng Jesus’ request to be bapzed. John asks a great queson. “I need to be bapzed by you, and yet you are coming to me?” Why did Jesus need to be bapzed? Aer all, John’s bapsms were ceremonial purity washings that individuals did when they turned away from their sins. Jesus was sinless. So why did He make John bapze Him? There are several reasons. One was that it was the way to make Himself known. John the Bapst, who prophesied the coming of the Savior, saw Him and proclaimed, “Behold, the Lamb of God”. Jesus’ bapsm was the beginning of His mission, and two of His disciples witnessed this act, and joined Him right then. Another reason is that Jesus changed the bapsm rite from a ritual cleansing into a Sacramental salvific rebirth. You might say in a sense His act made the water holy; similarly as it is in today’s bapsms. Through God’s grace, by Jesus entering into the flowing waters of bapsm, it’s no longer a ritual cleansing, but has now become the catalyst of our salvaon. Pope Benedict described another reason, connecng Jesus’ bapsm to His death on the cross. Jesus, who would take all of the sins of the world to the cross, in bapsm took them onto His shoulders. Benedict writes, “Jesus loaded the burden of all mankind’s guilt upon his shoulders: he bore it down into the depths of the Jordan. He inaugurated his public acvity by stepping into the place of sinners. His inaugural gesture was an ancipaon of the Cross.” It was His inial act of selflessness for us. And the reason I like best, also described by Pope Benedict, is that “by Jesus undergoing a ritual for sinners, He is giving a “Yes to the enre will of God” which “also expresses solidarity with men, who have incurred guilt but yearn for righteousness”. Although He is an innocent and just man, He is joining with us and showing us our way to salvaon. In this context, Jesus’ bapsm makes a lot of sense. This is the defining moment where Jesus, in his humanity, freely chooses to carry out the Father's will to its ulmate consequence. And then, heaven opens, the Spirit descends like a dove, and the voice of the Father proclaims, “this is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased”. In this, we see His humanity and we beer understand how His bapsm was more than a moment; it began His way of life and death. And we see how our bapsm defines our lifestyle, too. It’s not simply an auspicious moment that we can forget about once the ceremony is over. No, our bapsm is the day that we are reborn. Original sin is washed away. The Spirit has descended upon us, resides within us and indelibly es us to Christ. We receive sancfying grace and the virtues of Faith, Hope and Charity. We are anointed priests, prophets and kings as adopted children in God’s family and His Church. We, too, are called to live out the Father’s will. But again and again, temptaons emerge facing us with a crisis of faith. Like Jesus, we have a choice. Are we okay with being complacent with our bapsm? Or are we willing to live out our bapsmal character in our words and acons like Jesus did? Thankfully, through His bapsm and His life, we have His example to inspire and guide us. 2 Bapsm of The Lord January 12, 2020 CALENDAR | T W’ H FFC / EDGE / Youth Sessions Monday, January 13 9:30am & 7pm Morning Meditaon 7:00pm RCIA Tuesday, January 14 9:30am Grief Support (Room A Hall) 5:30pm Bible Study (Hall Conf .

  • A Brief History of the Parish of Saint Eugene up to the 60Th Anniversary
    A Brief History of the Parish of Saint Eugene Up to the 60th Anniversary On Sunday, November 6, 1949, Father John Dougherty, Monsignor John Fearns and Father Roger Franklin offered four Masses at the Club House Inn on Tuckahoe Road, attended by a total of 378 members of the new St. Eugene's Parish. The official document establishing the parish and appointing Father Dougherty as pastor had been signed by Francis Cardinal Spellman, Archbishop of New York, and dated October 31, 1949. In choosing as the patron of the parish the seventh-century Pope St. Eugene I, the Cardinal was honoring his great friend Pope Pius XII (Eugenio Pacelli). Northeast Yonkers, before World War II a more or less sparsely populated area, located between the urban west side of Yonkers and the established communities of Bronxville, Tuckahoe and Crestwood to the east, was by the late 1940S experiencing a period of rapid growth, typical of many suburban communities across the nation during the post-war years. The need for a new parish was clear. Cardinal Spellman had the right man for the job in Father Dougherty, then spiritual director of St. Joseph's Seminary, Dunwoodie. Old-time parishioners speak with great affection of Father-later Monsignor Dougherty, a man of holiness, vision and zeal, to whom we all owe so much. Father Dougherty's dream of a church and a school would soon become reality. To that end, 5.6 acres of largely wooded land on the northeast corner of Tuckahoe Road and Central Park Avenue-diagonally across from the Club House Inn property-were purchased.
