SUNDAY GOSPEL REFLECTION 

from Vatican Radio

English translation exclusive to this website

In the Gospel, Jesus asks John to baptize him. This seems strange: Jesus does not need baptism! Then Jesus tells John that this baptism will “fulfil all justice”. What can this possibly mean? Justice is like a weighing scales, right? Offences and punishments being balanced against each other? Wrong! The righteousness of God is not like that! Since the time of the Garden of Eden, we have failed to trust in the loving providence of God. We have believed the serpent’s lie when he told us to do our own thing if we want to be happy. Since then, we have sought to construct our dignity on our own talents and hard work. We yearn for success and acclaim in the eyes of others. We esteem beauty, intelligence, skill. But Jesus comes along to his baptism and turns everything on its head. He tells us that our system of balances, our notion of righteousness, counts for nothing. At the baptism, the Father cries out that his favour rests on his beloved Son. And the Father wishes to say the same to us. Righteousness – being in a correct relationship with God – does not require that we accomplish certain things. Rather, the fundamental thing is to abandon ourselves in trust to the Father, believing that he loves us and esteems us. This is right relationship with God. We construct cages around ourselves and the bars of the cages are made up of notions about image, looks and talents - false ideas about what gives me dignity. Trust in the loving providence of a Father who loves me is the remedy that sets me free.
