Becoming closer to God through Baptism
“You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.”- Mark 1:7-11 Facility Manager - Arnie Fernandez
You’ve probably heard the phrase “born again.” It’s a term that Catholics may not be very familiar with, facilitymanager@icctampa.org 813-486-1612
but many of our Protestant friends are. It might be that they were baptized or even verbally committed
their life to Christ. Many Catholics are traditionally baptized as infants, and in their teenage years Parish Secretary - Irene Martinez
recommit and confirm the seal of the Holy Spirit they received. It can be a spiritually uplifting time for secretary@icctampa.org
many.
The Gospel for this weekend comes from St. Mark and it’s the account of the baptism of Jesus in the Bulletin Coordinator - Monica Windmiller
Jordan River. We know that Jesus was conceived without sin and He remained sinless His entire life. bulletin@icctampa.org
So, we might ask the question, “why did Jesus have to be baptized?” Throughout salvation history, God
gives us both extreme and practical examples of His love for us. Jesus is His son and you and I are Director of Music - David Funes
children of God. Just as Adam and Eve were created by God, so were you and me. Like Adam and Eve, musicdirector@icctampa.org 813-885-7811
we are sinful creatures and we often use our free will to make poor decisions. It’s just the nature of man.
The only way we can attain our place in Heaven is to be cleansed by water and the Holy Spirit, through Director of Faith Formation
the blood of the lamb, Christ’s eternal sacrifice on the cross. Deacon Matt Shirina
Jesus submitted to the ritual cleansing that was being performed by John in the Jordan River, not dff@icctampa.org 813-884-3624
because He needed it, but because we do, and so He sanctified, or made holy, the waters of baptism.
God said to Jesus at His baptism, “You are my beloved Son, with you I am well pleased.” Imagine the Religious Education Ministry
God of the Universe, creator of all, saying the words, “John, Mary, Greg - you are my beloved child, with Judy Licari
whom I am well pleased, who I created to live with me, to be with me for all eternity.” Know that God reled@icctampa.org 813-884-3624

Principal - Marrie McLaughlin
Today we celebrate the Baptism of the Lord. Today’s first
reading is one of my favorites because it reminds us that – as All
Powerful, infinite and Awesome as our God is, He is gentle and
above all – He is loving. Today’s Scripture connection is very MASS SCHEDULE
obvious, and I have always been one to overstate the obvious so Monday through Friday: 7:00am
here goes. The prophet Isaiah wrote so long ago, we know he was
inspired by the Holy Spirit. He writes, “Here is . . . my chosen one with whom I am Saturday: 9:00am & 4:00pm (Vigil)
well pleased” That being stated it is so great when we see the New and Old Sunday: 7:00am, 9:00am & 11:00am,
Testament line up perfectly with the New Testament which states “You are my Spanish at 1:00 pm
beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.”
Jesus obviously knew who He was, there was no need that He had to hear it. The MISAS EN ESPAÑOL:
people there however, having heard that would have been drastically affected, seeing Domingos a la 1:00pm
the Baptism and hearing the words from Heaven.
This weekend is a great time to focus on and think about our Baptism. If you are
like me you were Baptized as a few day old infant so you do not remember but keep CONFESSIONS/ Confesiones:
in mind that when you were Baptized you were also anointed priest, prophet and Saturdays - 2:30pm to 3:30pm in Church or
king. May you always keep in mind your royal heritage as a part of the family of by appointment
God.
God Bless You! Love, Fr. Mike
