January 4, 2026 - The Baptism of the Lord

Dear Sisters and Brothers,

With the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord, the Christmas season comes to a close and we will continue with so called Ordinary Time. The Child of Bethlehem now steps into the waters of the Jordan, and His public ministry begins. What appears at first to be a simple moment quickly becomes a profound revelation of who Jesus is — and who we are. Jesus comes to John not because He needs repentance, but because He chooses solidarity. He enters the waters alongside sinners, taking His place with humanity in all its brokenness and hope. In doing so, He shows us the heart of God: a God who does not stand at a distance, but who steps into our lives fully and freely.

As Jesus emerges from the water, the heavens open. The Spirit descends like a dove. And the voice of the Father is heard: “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.” This is not only a revelation of Jesus’ identity; it is also a revelation of ours. Through our own baptism, we are joined to Christ. What the Father speaks over Jesus, He now speaks over us: You are my beloved. Before we do anything, before we prove ourselves worthy, before we succeed or fail — we are claimed by God’s love.

11 de enero de 2026 - El Bautismo del Señor

Queridos hermanos y hermanas:

Con la Fiesta del Bautismo del Señor, el tiempo de Navidad llega a su fin y continuamos con el llamado Tiempo Ordinario. El Niño de Belén entra ahora en las aguas del Jordán y comienza su ministerio público. Lo que a primera vista parece un momento sencillo se convierte rápidamente en una profunda revelación de quién es Jesús — y de quiénes somos nosotros. Jesús acude a Juan no porque necesite arrepentimiento, sino porque elige la solidaridad. Entra en las aguas junto a los pecadores, tomando su lugar con la humanidad en toda su fragilidad y esperanza. Al hacerlo, nos muestra el corazón de Dios: un Dios que no se mantiene a distancia, sino que entra plenamente y libremente en nuestras vidas.

Cuando Jesús sale del agua, los cielos se abren. El Espíritu desciende como paloma. Y se oye la voz del Padre: «Este es mi Hijo amado, en quien me complazco». Esto no es solo una revelación de la identidad de Jesús; es también una revelación de la nuestra. Por nuestro propio bautismo, somos unidos a Cristo. Lo que el Padre proclama sobre Jesús, ahora lo proclama sobre nosotros: Tú eres mi hijo amado. Antes de hacer nada, antes de demostrar nuestro valor, antes de tener éxito o fracasar — somos reclamados por el amor de Dios.

“We are all born originals, some in life become photocopies.”

Carlo Acutis was born in London, Britain, on May 3, 1991, to Italian parents, Carlo and Antonia Salzano, who were in the City for work. He was baptized on May 18 at Our Lady of Dolours Church in London. In September 1991, the family returned to Milan. At the age of four, his parents enrolled him in kindergarten, which he attended with great enthusiasm. When the time came for compulsory schooling, he was enrolled at the San Carlo Institute in Milan, a well-known private school. After three months, he was transferred to elementary school at the Tommaseo Institute of the Marcelline Sisters, because it was closer to his home. On June 16, 1998, he received his First Communion, earlier than his usual age, thanks to special permission from his spiritual director, Fr Ilio Carrai, and Archbishop Pasquale Macchi. The celebration took place in the Monastery of the cloistered Romite nuns of the Order of St. Ambrose ad Nemus in Bemaga di Perego (Lecco). The Sacrament of Confirmation, on May 24, 2003, was administered to him in the church of Santa Maria Segreta, by Monsignor Luigi Testore, former secretary of Cardinal Carlo Maria Martini and parish priest of San Marco in Milan.

'Todos nacemos originales, algunos en la vida se convierten en fotocopias'

Carlo Acutis nació en Londres, Gran Bretaña, el 3 de mayo de 1991, de padres italianos, Carlo y Antonia Salzano, que estaban en la City por motivos de trabajo. Fue bautizado el 18 de mayo en la iglesia de Nuestra Señora de los Dolores de Londres. En septiembre de 1991, la familia regresó a Milán. A los cuatro años, sus padres le inscriben en la guardería, a la que asiste con gran entusiasmo. Cuando llegó el momento de la escolarización obligatoria, lo matricularon en el Instituto San Carlo de Milán, una conocida escuela pública. Al cabo de tres meses, fue trasladado a la escuela primaria del Instituto Tommaseo de las Hermanas Marcelinas, por estar más cerca de su casa. El 16 de junio de 1998 recibió la Primera Comunión, antes de su edad habitual, gracias a un permiso especial de su director espiritual, el padre Ilio Carrai, y del arzobispo Pasquale Macchi. La celebración tuvo lugar en el monasterio de las monjas de clausura romitas dell'Ordine di Sant'Ambrogio ad Nemus, en Bemaga di Perego (Lecco). El sacramento de la Confirmación, el 24 de mayo de 2003, le fue administrado en la iglesia de Santa Maria Segreta, por monseñor Luigi Testore, antiguo secretario del cardenal Carlo Maria Martini y párroco de San Marco en Milán.
