Reflections ~ Reflexiones GGoossppeell:: MMaatttthheeww MMaatttthheeww 22::11--1122

As you listened to the Gospel, did you hear any echoes of the Old Testament reading from Isaiah? Perhaps you noticed that in both readings people are being led by a bright light on a long journey. They want to see the Lord's glory and honor him with gifts (gold, frankincense, and myrrh). Matthew tells us the story of the astrologers, or magi. They followed a star to find "the newborn king of the Jews." Today's feast is called Epiphany, a word meaning "manifestation" or "shining forth" like a light. We celebrate that day when Jesus, our Light, was first revealed to the nations beyond Israel. Just as light shines forth so that we may see in the darkness, our faith in Jesus shines forth in us. 1.) How are you like the magi? 2.) Sometimes on long journeys, we are tempted to turn back. What keeps you on the road to Jesus?

EEvvaannggeelliioo:: MMaatteeoo 22::11--1122 Cuando escuchaste el evangelio, ¿percibiste ecos de Isaías en la lectura del Antiguo Testamento? Quizás notaste que en ambas interpretaciones las personas están siendo guiadas por una luz brillante durante un largo viaje. Querían ver la gloria del Señor y honrarlo con regalos (oro, incienso y mirra). Mateo nos cuenta la historia de los astrólogos o magos. Ellos siguieron a una estrella para descubrir al "recién nacido rey de los Judíos". Hoy esa festividad es llamada Epifanía, palabra que significa "aparición" o "brillo". Celebramos ese día cuando Jesús, nuestra luz, fue revelado por primera vez a las naciones más allá de Israel. Como la luz, se proyecta para que podamos ver en la oscuridad; nuestra fe en Jesus brilla más allá de nosotros. 1.) ¿Cómo estás en una situación parecida a la de los magos? 2.) A veces, durante un largo viaje, somos tentados a regresar. ¿Qué te retiene en ese camino para encontrar a Jesús?

Pastor’s Message~ Mensaje del Párroco SSTTAARR GGAAZZEERRSS

In a French cathedral there is a charming stone carving of the three kings wearing crowns and sharing one cozy bed. An angel points to a star and gently touches the hand of one king, who has awakened. The star is the one that led the kings to Bethlehem, and the angel is warning them not to return to Herod. Tradition says that they

were Caspar, Melchior, and Balthasar, the first non-Jews to worship the Son of God. In the Middle Ages houses were blessed on Epiphany, reflecting how these magi found Christ "on entering the house." Try reviving this ancient tradition. Incense the house, sprinkle holy water, and write in chalk over every outside doorway "20 + C + M + B + 11" (or whatever the year is). The letters honor the three kings and also stand for Christus mansionem benedicat, "May Christ bless this home," and symbolize welcoming everyone into the home as Christ.

LLiivviinngg SStteewwaarrddsshhiipp NNooww A prayer for Epiphany: Father, you revealed your Son to the nations by the guidance of a star. Lead us to your glory in heaven by the light of faith. (The Roman Missal, Opening Prayer for the Epiphany of the Lord)

CCOONNTTEEMMPPLLAADDOORREESS DDEE EESSTTRREELLLLAASS En una catedral de Francia hay una escultura encantadora de los tres reyes magos durmiendo en una misma cama con sus coronas puestas. Un ángel apunta hacia una estrella y suavemente toca la mano de uno de los magos, que se ha despertado. La estrella es la que guió a los reyes magos hacia Belén y el ángel les advierte no regresar a ver a Herodes. La tradición dice que ellos se llamaban Gaspar, Melchor y Baltasar, los primeros no judíos que adoraron al Hijo de Dios. En la Edad Media las casas se bendecían el día de la Epifanía, reflexionando en cómo los magos encontraron a Cristo cuando "entraron en la casa". Trata de revivir esta antigua tradición. Inciensa la casa, rocía agua bendita y escribe con una tiza sobre cada una de las puertas exteriores la siguiente inscripción: "20 + G + M + B + 11" (o cualquiera que sea el año). Las letras honran a los tres reyes magos, y a la vez expresan y simbolizan que toda persona será recibida en esa casa como si fuera el mismo Cristo. Copyright (c) 2010, World Library Publications.

Una oración para la Epifanía: Señor, Dios nuestro, que por medio de una estrella, diste a conocer en este día, a todos los pueblos el nacimiento de tu Hijo, concede a los que ya te conocemos por la fe, llegar a contemplar, cara a cara, la hermosura de tu inmensa gloria. (Misal Romano, Oración Colecta para la Epifanía del Señor)

Today the Church celebrates the Solemnity of the Epiphany. "The Lord and ruler is coming; kingship is his, and government and power." With these words the Church proclaims that today's feast brings to a perfect fulfillment all the purposes of Advent. Epiphany, therefore, marks the liturgical zenith of the Advent-Christmas season. —Pius Parsch Epiphany means manifestation. What the Church celebrates today is the manifestation of our Lord to the whole world; after being made known to the shepherds of Bethlehem He is revealed to the Magi who have come from the East to adore Him. Christian tradition has ever seen in the Magi the first fruits of the Gentiles; they lead in their wake all the peoples of the earth, and thus the Epiphany is an affirmation of universal salvation. St. Leo brings out this point admirably in a sermon, read at Matins, in which he shows in the adoration of the Magi the beginnings of Christian faith, the time when the great mass of the heathen sets off to follow the star which summons it to seek its Savior.

LLIIGGHHTT OOFF TTHHEE WWOORRLLDD Epiphany can be understood as an extension of the Nativity of the Lord that we celebrate on December 25. While at Christmas we celebrate Jesus’ coming as the long-awaited king and Messiah of the Jewish people, on Epiphany we celebrate the revelation that Jesus is the Savior and Light of all nations—Jews, Gentiles, and all people. The star shines so brightly that it attracts magi who come from far distant countries to worship Jesus. They are not Jews, yet they are drawn to the Light of the world. The letter to the Ephesians reveals that the Light of the world was for the Gentiles as well as the Jews—Christ gathers all people into the light of his love. The reading from Isaiah also describes a gathering of diverse peoples, but this time it is to the light that emanates from the people of God. CCooppyyrriigghhtt ©© JJ.. SS.. PPaalluucchh CCoo..

Life is the best and only good choice. Saturday, January 25, 2020.
