Lent is the me of year that we devote to scru nizing our lives in the light of our bap sm into the
death and resurrec on of Jesus. Todays readings are a nice shorthand catechism of what our
bap zed lives mean. As Noah passed through the waters of the flood to a covenant with God, so did
we enter into a covenant, a promised rela onship with God through our bap sm. The psalm reminds
us that if we truly keep the covenant, the way of life God expects us to follow will not be a burden,
but a source of love and truth. Peters le er gives one explana on of what our bap sm means: it is
an appeal that we make to God for a clear conscience. How do we obtain this clear conscience?
The words that Jesus proclaims immediately following his tempta on show us the way: Repent and
believe in the gospel. It might be a good spiritual exercise to keep these readings before us
throughout the en re season of Lent, a means to help us return to a life lived in our bap smal

Salmo 25: 4
PRIMER DOMINGO DE
CUARESMA
EL SIGNIFICADO DE NUESTRO BAUTISMO
Cuaresma es la poca del ao que dedicamos a escudriar nuestras vidas a la luz de nuestro
Bautismo en la muerte y resurreccin de Jess. Las lecturas de hoy son como un catecismo
abreviado de lo que nuestras vidas de bautizados significan. Tal como No pas por las aguas
del diluvio a una alianza con Dios, as tambin nosotros entramos en una alianza, una relacin
con Dios prometida por nuestro Bautismo. El salmo nos recuerda que si realmente vivimos la
alianza, el modo de vida que Dios quiere que vivamos no va a ser una carga, sino una fuente
de amor y verdad. La carta de Pedro ofrece una explicacin de lo que significa nuestro bautismo: es una plegaria a Dios pidiendo
una buena conciencia. Cmo obtenemos esta buena conciencia? Las palabras que Jess proclama
justo despus de su tentacin nos seala el camino: Arrepintanse y crean en el Evangelio. Podra
ser un buen ejercicio espiritual mantener estas Lecturas a nuestro alcance durante todo el tiempo de
Cuaresma, un medio para ayudarnos a volver a una vida vivida segn nuestras promesas bautismales.
