Una "epifanía" es una apariencia. En las lecturas de
hoy, con sus estrellas en ascenso, luces esplendorosas
y misterios revelados, aparece el rostro del niño nacido
el día de Navidad.
Herodes, en el Evangelio de hoy, pregunta a los
principales sacerdotes y escribas dónde nacerá el
Mesías. La respuesta que Mateo pone en sus labios
dice mucho más, combinando dos hebras de la
promesa del Antiguo Testamento: una que revela que
el Mesías es de la línea de David, la otra que predice
"un gobernante de Israel" que "pastoreará su rebaño" y
cuyo " La grandeza llegará hasta los confines de la
tierra”.
Esas promesas del rey de Israel que gobiernan las
naciones también resuenan en el Salmo de hoy. El
salmo celebra al hijo de David, Salomón. Su reino,
cantamos, se extenderá "hasta los confines de la
tierra", y los reyes del mundo le rendirán homenaje.
Esa es la escena también en la primera lectura de hoy,
mientras las naciones fluyen desde el este, con "oro e
incienso" para el rey de Israel.
La peregrinación de los Magos en el Evangelio de hoy
marca el cumplimiento de las promesas de Dios. Los
magos, probablemente astrólogos persas, están
siguiendo la estrella que Balaam predijo que se
levantaría junto con el personal del gobernante sobre la
casa de Jacob.
Cargados con oro y especias, su viaje evoca los hechos
a Salomón por la Reina de Saba y los "reyes de la
tierra". Curiosamente, los únicos otros lugares donde
el incienso y la mirra se mencionan juntos son las
canciones sobre Salomón.
Uno más grande que Salomón está aquí. Él ha venido a
revelar que todos los pueblos son "co-herederos" de la
familia real de Israel, como lo enseña la Epístola de
hoy.
Su manifestación nos obliga a elegir: ¿seguiremos las
señales que lo conducen a Él como lo hicieron los
magos sabios? ¿O seremos como esos sacerdotes y
escribas que permiten que las palabras de promesa de
Dios se conviertan en letras muertas en una página
antigua?
An “epiphany” is an appearance. In today’s readings,
with their rising stars, splendorous lights, and
mysteries revealed, the face of the child born on
Christmas day appears.
Herod, in today’s Gospel, asks the chief priests and
scribes where the Messiah is to be born. The answer
Matthew puts on their lips says much more,
combining two strands of Old Testament promise—
one revealing the Messiah to be from the line of David,
the other predicting “a ruler of Israel” who will
“shepherd his flock” and whose “greatness shall reach
to the ends of the earth”.
Those promises of Israel’s king ruling the nations
resound also in today’s Psalm. The psalm celebrates
David’s son, Solomon. His kingdom, we sing, will
stretch “to the ends of the earth,” and the world’s
kings will pay Him homage. That’s the scene too in
today’s First Reading, as nations stream from the East,
bearing “gold and frankincense” for Israel’s king.
The Magi’s pilgrimage in today’s Gospel marks the
fulfillment of God’s promises. The Magi, probably
Persian astrologers, are following the star that Balaam
predicted would rise along with the ruler’s staff over
the house of Jacob.
Laden with gold and spices, their journey evokes those
made to Solomon by the Queen of Sheba and the
“kings of the earth”. Interestingly, the only other
places where frankincense and myrrh are mentioned
together are in songs about Solomon.
One greater than Solomon is here. He has come to
reveal that all peoples a re “co-heirs” of the royal
family of Israel, as today’s Epistle teaches.
His manifestation forces us to choose: will we follow
the signs that lead to Him as the wise Magi did? Or
will we be like those priests and scribes who let God’s
words of promise become dead letters on an ancient
page?
