“The grace of God has appeared, saving all, and training us to reject godless ways and worldly desires and to live temperately, justly and devoutly in this age, and to await the blessed hope, the appearance of the glory of our great God and of our savior Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to deliver us from all lawlessness and

to cleanse for himself a people of his own, eager to do what is good.” How fortunate for Titus to receive an encouraging letter from Saint Paul. As we bring the Christmas season to a close as Jesus’ baptism takes place, we too are encouraged to make the instruction our own. Yes, Jesus has come and still lives among us. We are challenged each day to abandon godless ways and focus on keeping our eyes on Jesus. If life was difficult for Paul’s friends, how much more challenging it is for us, surrounded by the internet, porn, material and consumer attractions, drawing us in a different direction. How clear are Paul’s words asking us to live temperately, when so many have nothing, to live justly, in a society which wishes to get ahead and put others down, and devoutly, when many look down on people with religious devotion, customs and traditions. Paul knew his society and we are so aware of ours. Why not take the virtues Paul recommends and meditate on one each day. May this help us to become eager to do what is good. “La gracia de Dios, que es fuente de salvación, se ha manifestado. Ella nos enseña a rechazar la impiedad y las concupiscencias del mundo, para vivir en la vida presente con sobriedad, justicia y piedad, mientras aguardamos la feliz esperanza y la manifestación de la gloria de nuestro gran Dios y Salvador, Cristo Jesús. Él se entregó por nosotros, a fin de librarnos de toda iniquidad, purificarnos y crear para sí un pueblo elegido y lleno en la práctica del bien.” Qué alegría para Tito recibir la alentadora carta de San Pablo. A medida que la estación navideña llega a su final y que llegamos al bautismo de Jesús, se nos alienta a tomar nota de esta instrucción. Sí, Jesús ha llegado y vive entre nosotros. Se nos reta cada día a abandonar la impiedad y enfocarnos en Jesús. Si la vida era difícil para los amigos de San Pablo, igualmente difícil es para nosotros, rodeados por el internet, pornografía, distracciones materialistas y de consumo, que nos atraen a una dirección diferente. Las palabras de San Pablo son claras, nos pide que vivamos sobriamente, cuando tanta gente no tiene nada, a vivir justamente en una sociedad competitiva y represiva, y a vivir devotamente, cuando muchos desprecian la devoción religiosa, sus costumbres y tradiciones. San Pablo conocía su sociedad y nosotros la nuestra. ¿Por qué no tomar las virtudes que él recomienda y meditamos en una cada día? Ojalá que estos nos ayude a entusiasmarnos a hacer lo que es bueno.

Lo Spirito Santo giunge ad attestare in modo solenne la divinità di Gesù nel momento in cui ha compiuto, come un uomo qualsiasi, il gesto penitenziale, essendosi sottoposto al battesimo di Giovanni. Durante la sua vita terrena, Gesù non si mostrerà mai tanto grande come nell’umiltà dei gesti e delle parole.

Importante lezione questa, per noi che vediamo le cose in modo tanto diverso. Seguire Cristo significa intraprendere questo cammino di umiltà, cioè di verità. Cristo, vero Dio e vero uomo, ci insegna la verità del nostro essere. Feriti dal peccato, purificati dal battesimo, noi oscilliamo fra i due estremi, entrambi attraenti, del male e della santità. E questo si vive nella quotidianeità più umile. Ad ogni passo possiamo scegliere Dio e il suo amore, o, viceversa, rifiutarlo. Seguire le orme di Gesù, significa assicurarsi un cammino che, nonostante sia stretto e sassoso, conduce alla vita eterna, alla vera beatitudine.
