TODAY’S READINGS
Our Gospel Reading today is quite short. However, it contains an important revelation from St. John the Baptist about Jesus, our Lord and Savior. John the Baptist testifies, “I saw the Spirit come down like a dove from heaven and remain upon him.” We are fond in the Church to use the symbol of the dove to represent the Holy Spirit, but what John says is not that the Spirit was a dove, but it descended like a dove.
First Reading — The glory of the Lord shows through Israel, a light to all nations, that salvation may reach to the ends of the earth (Isaiah 49:3, 5‐6). Psalm — Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will (Psalm 40). Second Reading — All those who call upon the name of the Lord are called to be holy (1 Corinthians 1:1‐3). Gospel — John the Baptist testifies: The one who comes after me, on whom the Spirit comes down and remains, is the Son of God (John 1:29‐34).

READINGS FOR THE WEEK Monday: Heb 5:1‐10; Ps 110:1‐4; Mk 2:18‐22 Tuesday: Heb 6:10‐20; Ps 111:1‐2, 4‐5, 9, 10c; Mk 2:23‐28 Wednesday: Heb 7:1‐3, 15‐17; Ps 110:1‐4; Mk 3:1‐6 Thursday: Heb 7:25 — 8:6; Ps 40:7‐10, 17; Mk 3:7‐12 Friday: Heb 8:6‐13; Ps 85:8, 10‐14; Mk 3:13‐19 Saturday: Heb 9:2‐3, 11‐14; Ps 47:2‐3, 6‐9; Mk 3:20‐21 Sunday: Is 8:23 — 9:3; Ps 27:1, 4, 13‐14; 1 Cor 1:10‐13, 17; Mt 4:12‐23 [12‐17]
The Spirit descends upon us as well throughout our lives as Catholics. At our Baptism the Holy Spirit came upon us, and we received the fullness of the Holy Spirit’s gifts at Confirmation. Nevertheless, we receive the Holy Spirit at every Mass and especially at the Eucharist. Just as John the Baptist spoke of seeing the Holy Spirit descend upon the Lord, that same Holy Spirit descends upon us.
You probably have never paid much attention to how a dove actually descends. It sort of hovers and floats downward. Its descent is smooth, deliberate, and in its own unique way. This Spirit has descended upon us and continues to do so. It fills us. What do we do with it? It is part of our very being, but for it to be effective we must share it and use it.
Our Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI once said, “No one can give that which they do not personally possess, which means we cannot transmit the Holy Spirit if we ourselves are not close to the Spirit.”

Nuestro Evangelio de hoy La lectura es bastante corta. Sin embargo, contiene una importante revelación de San Juan Bautista acerca de Jesús, nuestro Señor y Salvador. Juan el Bautista da testimonio: "Vi al Espíritu que descendía como paloma del cielo y permanecer sobre él." Nos gusta en la Iglesia de usar el símbolo de la paloma para representar al Espíritu Santo, pero lo que Juan dice que no es que la espíritu era una paloma, pero descendió como una paloma.
El Espíritu desciende sobre nosotros, así a lo largo de nuestra vida como católicos. En nuestro bautismo, el Espíritu Santo vino sobre nosotros, y hemos recibido la plenitud de los dones del Espíritu Santo en la Confirmación. Sin embargo, recibimos el Espíritu Santo en todas las misas y sobre todo en la Eucaristía. Así como Juan el Bautista habló de ver el Espíritu Santo descienda sobre el Señor, el mismo Espíritu Santo desciende sobre nosotros.
Probablemente nunca ha prestado mucha atención a cómo desciende en realidad una paloma. De alguna manera se cierne y flota hacia abajo. Su descenso es suave, deliberada, y en su propia manera única. Este Espíritu ha descendido sobre nosotros y continúa haciéndolo. Nos llena. ¿Qué hacemos con esto? Es parte de nuestro propio ser, pero para que sea eficaz, es necesario difundirlo y utilizarlo.
Nuestro Papa emérito Benedicto XVI dijo una vez: "Nadie puede dar lo que no poseen personalmente, lo que significa que no puede transmitir el Espíritu Santo, si nosotros mismos no estamos cerca del Espíritu." IS 49: 3, 5‐6: PS 40: 2, 4, 7‐10; 1 COR 1: 1‐3; JN 1: 29‐34
