FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK
This first Sunday of 2019 is Epiphany Sunday, a day in which we celebrate the manifesta<on of the Christ Child to the
whole world. St. Ma9hew’s gospel tells the story of magi, or astrologers, spoCng a star at its rising and interpre<ng
the appearance of this star as a celes<al sign announcing the birth of a great ruler. The magi, represen<ng Gen<le
people all over the ancient Middle East, travel “from the east” to Jerusalem in order to pay homage to what they
perceive to be “the newborn king of the Jews.” King Herod is “greatly troubled” by the pilgrimage of the magi,
obviously feeling threatened by the very prospect of a new threat to his royal throne. So Herod consults the experts
of the Hebrew Scriptures of the <me and learns that Micah once prophesied that Israel’s long awaited messianic ruler
would be born in the town of King David’s birth, the <ny outback town of Bethlehem. The King then instructs the
magi to go there and discover the whereabouts of the child, and then report back to him so that he too can go and
pay the infant king homage, which is obviously a ploy to seek and destroy this royal baby. The magi proceed to follow
the star all the way to the house where Mary, Joseph and Jesus were staying. They enter the house, pay their
respects to the Christ Child and present him with three precious giJs fit for a king: gold (for royalty); frankincense (for
worship of God); myrrh (for a proper burial). The magi are then warned in a dream to ignore Herod’s request. So they
depart for their own country, signifying that God, not the Roman Emperor or any other human ruler, would bring
about Israel’s Messiah, and usher in the Kingdom of God. The point St. Ma9hew is making in this sacred story is that
the Incarna<on of God is not just for a certain ethnic or religious group; it is not just for Jews or Jewish converts to
Chris<anity. The coming of God’s Son in the flesh is meant to be a blessing for the whole world. The famous trip of
the magi provides clear evidence that God intends the human birth of his eternally bego9en Son to be good news for
every human person, and to be the source of salva<on for everyone. The Solemnity of the Epiphany commissions
every Catholic to bear witness to our Lord and Savior to all those we encounter in the course of our lives, including
our own family members, friends, neighbors, and co-workers. Everybody needs the gospel of mercy, the gospel of
God’s uncondi<onal love; and as bap<zed disciples of Jesus, we are the designated carriers of this good news to the
world around us. May this New Year be the <me for all of us to more consistent, more effec<ve witnesses to the Lord
Jesus and his Church!

Welcome Holy Spirit
Throughout 2019, our Collabora<ve will be exploring
the mystery, meaning, and power of the Holy Spirit.
Most of us have a grasp of the concepts of God the
Father and God the Son in the form of Jesus Christ,
but we oJen find the Holy Spirit to be more
mysterious. The more we open ourselves up to the
Holy Spirit, the more he will fill us with his giJs. He is
our comforter, nurturer, and healer. He is our helper,
guide, and inner strength.
What does the Holy Spirit look like to you?

From the time that we were young kids growing up in Dorchester receiving First Communion, through our marriage, as we brought up our own four boys, and now as grandparents, Boston priests have been a guiding light that we reach out to in different situations that have come up in our lives.As parents, our faith life has helped us to guide our family. We are an ordinary family, and, like all families, things don’t always go smoothly. The priests we have known through the years, like Fr. Peter Martocchio, have helped us to learn to take things in stride and put our faith in God, and that there is always hope.While not perfect, ours has been a wonderful life, which has been enriched by many Boston priests who have helped us along the way.
