SUMMARY:Vigils Reading - Baptism of the Lord
DESCRIPTION:BY WATER AND \nTHE HOLY SPIRIT \nFrom a commentary by Hippolytus of Rome \n◊◊◊ \nAs soon as he had been baptized\, Jesus came out of the water. The \nheavens were opened to him and the Spirit of God in the form of a dove came \ndown and rested on him. Then a voice from heaven said: This is my beloved \nson\, in whom I am well pleased. \nIf the Lord had yielded to John’s persuasion and had not been baptized\, \ndo you realize what great blessings and how many we should have been \ndeprived of? Heaven was closed until then; our homeland on high was \ninaccessible. Once we had descended into the depths we were incapable of rising \nagain to such lofty heights. The Lord was not only baptized himself; he also \nrenewed our fallen nature and restored to us our status as God’s children. At \nonce the heavens were opened to him. The world we see was reconciled with the \nworld that lies beyond our vision; the angels were filled with joy\, earthly \ndisorders were remedied; mysteries were revealed; enemies were made friends. \nThe heavens were opened to him you have heard the evangelist say. This \nhappened for three wonderful reasons. The heavenly bridal chamber had to \nopen its shining gates to Christ at his baptism because he was himself the \nbridegroom. The gates of heaven also had to be lifted up to allow the Holy Spirit \nto descend in the form of a dove and the Father’s voice to resound far and wide. \nThe heavens were opened to him and a voice said: This is my beloved Son\, in \nwhom I am well pleased. \nThis is my beloved Son who appeared on earth without leaving his \nFather’s side. He both appeared and did not appear\, for he was not what he \nseemed. As far as appearance goes the one who gives baptism is superior to the \none who receives it. This is why the Father sent the Holy Spirit down on him \nfrom heaven. As in Noah’s ark a dove revealed God’s love for the human race\, so \nnow it was in the form of a dove\, as though with an olive branch in its beak that \nthe spirit descended. He did so to make sure that the Father’s voice would be \nrecognized and the ancient mystery would be believed. Which prophesy? The \none that says: The Father’s voice resounded over the waters. The God of glory \nthunders. The Lord thunders across many waters. And what does he say? This \nis my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased. \nPay close attention now\, I beg you\, for I want to return to the fountain of \nlife and contemplate its healing waters at their source. The Father of \nimmortality sent His immortal Son and Word into the world; he came to us to \ncleanse us with the water and the spirit. To give us a new birth that would make \nour bodies and souls immortal\, He breathed into us the Spirit of life and armed \nus with incorruptibility. \nTherefore in a herald’s voice I cry: Peoples of every nation; come and \nreceive the immortality given in baptism. To you who have spent all the days of \nyour life in the darkness of ignorance I bring the good news of life. Leave your \nslavery for freedom\, the tyrant’s yoke for a kingdom. corruptibility for eternal \nlife. Do you wish to know how to do this? By water and the Holy Spirit. That is to \nsay\, by the water through which we are born again and given life\, and by the \nSpirit who is the Comforter sent for your sake to make you a child of God.
