These small pine cones hold the seeds that will grow into future trees . . . something so tiny that will some day be so grand.
In a reflection on the Feast of the Baptism of Our Lord, first published in the Farm Street Church newsletter in 2015, Fr. Tony Nye SJ highlights the humility and ‘unselfish dedication’ which were the manifestations of God’s Love in the incarnation of His Son:
“Over the Christmas period, we have been thinking about Our Lord’s humility as he humbled himself to share in our humanity. We have seen him as a little baby, poor and in a manger or as a refugee fleeing to the safety of Egypt in his mother’s arms. He is Son of God yet as a baby he depends completely on Mary and Joseph for food and warmth, shelter and security.
That humility continues to shine in today’s feast. He comes to the River Jordan many years later, hidden years at Nazareth, working with Joseph as a carpenter. He comes to John the Baptist to be baptises along with many other people. You wouldn’t have been able to pick him out. It is a humble way of showing himself to be a servant (as the prophets foretold), humbly beginning his ministry of preaching and healing. Although he is completely without sin, he stands among sinners, as one of them, accepting with them a ritual of repentance, though he has nothing to repent of. As well as being a sign of his humility, baptism is also a sign of his commitment to the Father on behalf of sinners, a commitment to his mission of salvation. As we hear in the first reading from the prophecy of Isaiah:’ Faithfully he brings true justice; he will neither waver or be crushed until true justice is established on earth.’ That will be through his sacrifice on the cross, another sort of baptism. Before that takes place he will say: ‘There is a baptism I must still receive, and what constraint I am under until it is completed‘(Lk.12.50). Just as he was plunged into the waters of the Jordan, so he will be plunged into a painful and ignominious death.
Christ as humble and committed Servant is summed up in the Preface of today’s Mass, which is addressed to God the Father:
‘So that through the voice that came down from heaven we might come to believe in your Word dwelling among us, and by the Spirit’s descending in the likeness of a dove we might know that Christ your Servant has been anointed with the oil of gladness and sent to bring the good news to the poor.’
Each one of us was anointed when we were baptised, to share with Our Lord as servants. After the water was poured three times on our heads, special oil of chrism was applied by the priest or deacon with these words: ‘As Christ was anointed Priest, Prophet and King, so may you live always as a member of his body, sharing everlasting life.’
What does it mean to me to live as a member of Christ’s body and be a servant as he was? What does it mean to me to promise to live and share in Our Lord’s unselfish dedication and commitment in my everyday life?”

All of us know that trees keep growing taller throughout its life.
But there is something else that grows with it - its root.
As a tree grows taller and taller and taller, its root goes deeper and deeper and deeper into the soil, gripping it harder so that the tree doesn't uproot when hit by the strong winds blowing higher up in the sky.
So, got the message? The more successful you are in life, the more grounded your feet should be, for, otherwise you will get shipwrecked by the lightest of winds blowing at your height.
THIS IS MY THEORY, FOLKS. THE FATEFUL FIVE FINGERS OF PURPOSE. IT'S BIGGER THAN MUSIC THEORY-IT'S ORIGIN: THE THUMB, JAPANESE FOR "HUMILITY"; THE POINTER, "DIRECTION"; THE MIDDLE "BEHAVIOR" OR "ATTITUDE"; THE RING FINGER, "DEVOTION"; AND THE PINKY, "RESOLUTION". THE THEORY OF GO!

N.B. Il s'agit ici d'un exercice qui ne peut porter vraiment le nom d'icône car 1) au niveau du support, l'image est surélevée et non en creux (cliquer ci-contre pour voir l'original en gros plan) 2) il n'y a pas de cadre large 3) et, enfin, le nimbe et la tête sont tronqués. En dépit de ces irrégularités, et au même titre que le Christ à l'oeil rieur (cf. www.flickr.com/photos/121479702@N04/13831481124/), ce visage est l'un de mes préférés parmi tous les visages iconiques que j'ai écrits à ce jour.
