Calendar Events
Pastors Corner
It is tempting to think that believing in Christ means
simply that we affirm the creed, or that we agree that Jesus
existed and worked miracles and died and rose from the
dead. To accept these truths is important but this is not
what is meant by “believing” in this passage. In fact, one
can sincerely affirm all these facts theoretically and still live
very selfishly. To believe in the One who was “lifted up”
means nothing less than to make his self-offering part of our
own lives through daily concern for others; it means to live
unselfishly. This is the only kind of faith that will give us
eternal life.
Most of us were baptized as infants with no conscious
awareness of what was happening. Our sponsors promised,
in our names, that we renounced Satan and affirmed Christ.
The simple fact is that those baptized as infants must
“claim” their own baptisms, as it were, as soon as they are
old enough to do so, which usually means in early adulthood.
The sacrament of baptism is not magic, and its graces
become fully operative in our lives only to the extent that we
accept and live the promises made years ago in our names.
When we promise to renounce Satan, we are declaring our
firm resolution to eliminate from our lives the “big lie” of
Satan, namely, that we can achieve happiness by thinking
only of ourselves. And when we commit ourselves to Christ,
we firmly resolve to follow his example of unselfish,
thoughtful concern for others. When we are thus “lifted up”
like Jesus on the cross of love, we can be sure that we will
also be “raised up” with him in the victory of resurrection.
Some may think that this takes all the fun out of life, but
in reality the people who love in this way are the only truly
happy people in the world.
But we won’t know that until we try it!
Fr. Tom Kennedy
