  • GOSPEL MEDITATION - ENCOURAGE DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF SCRIPTURE January 7, 2018 The Epiphany of the Lord "Then they opened their treasures and offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh." What a wonderful example the Magi give us in their visit to the infant Jesus. First of all, they demon-strate profound faith in God's word, spoken through the prophet Micah: "And you, Bethlehem ... from you shall come a ruler who is to shepherd my people Israel" (cf. 5:2). Embarking on a long and difficult journey, they trust that they will find this newborn king of the Jews in Bethlehem as the prophecy announced.

    On their arrival at the home of the Holy Family, the Magi also give us an example of profound humility. These important men, to whom kings look for guidance and advice, do not hesitate to bow down, to "prostrate themselves" and give hom-age to a tiny babe. Putting their own position out of their minds, they reverently worship the infant Lord even as he sits on the lap of his mother. The generosity of these three "kings" is also evident as they open their treasure boxes and give to the poor child the rich-est of gifts. Traditionally, we understand the gold to symbolize the earthly kingship of Christ, the frankincense to repre-sent his divinity, and the myrrh to stand as a symbol of the anointing he will receive upon his death. Finally, the wisdom of these men is evident in their decision to return to their country "by another way." Understanding the threat that King Herod posed to Jesus, they followed a plan that would help keep the divine child safe even though it meant inconvenience to themselves. Faith, humility, generosity, and wisdom. These gifts are the real legacy of the Three Kings. Today, let us ask God for the blessing of having these gifts in our lives. **********************************************************************************

    MEDITACIÓN EVANGÉLICO - ALENTAR ENTENDI-MIENTO MÁS PROFUNDO DE LA ESCRITURA 7 de enero de 2018 La Epifanía del Señor Estamos ya en la fiesta de la Epifanía que es una profundi-zación de la fiesta de la Navidad. En Navidad celebramos el Nacimiento del Señor, anunciado a los pastores por los ánge-les, mientras que la Epifanía, es la proclamación de ese Nacimiento ante el mundo, manifestado a los magos de Ori-ente que buscaban al Niño Rey recién nacido. Jesús nace para todo el mundo. Cristo es verdaderamente el corazón del

    mundo. ¡Con su manifestación todos sin excepción alguna somos llamados a la salvación! El Papa Francisco en la homilía del 6 de enero de 2014 da el siguiente mensaje: "En esta fiesta de la Epifanía, que nos recuerda la manifestación de Jesús a la humanidad en el rostro de un Niño, sintamos cerca a los Ma-gos, como sabios compañeros de camino. Su ejemplo nos anima a levantar los ojos a la estrella y a seguir los grandes deseos de nuestro corazón. Nos enseñan a no contentarnos con una vida mediocre, de 'poco calado', sino a dejarnos fascinar siempre por la bondad, la verdad, la belleza... por Dios, que es todo eso en modo siem-pre mayor. Y nos enseñan a no dejarnos engañar por las apariencias, por aquello que para el mundo es grande, sabio, poderoso. No nos podemos quedar ahí...Tenemos que ir más allá... ir hacia Belén, allí donde en la sen-cillez de una casa de la periferia, entre una mamá y un papá llenos de amor y de fe, resplandece el Sol que nace de lo alto, el Rey del universo. A ejemplo de los Magos, con nuestras pequeñas luces busquemos la Luz". ¡Sea luz de Belén!

    TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION

    Where on earth would you go to honor the magi? Iran or Saudi Arabia, Tarshish or the Isles come to mind, but Cologne, Germany would be a good choice. There the Shrine of the Three Kings has been the centerpiece of the city’s cathedral since the fourth century. Today it is the largest reliquary in the world: a gilded and ornamented triple casket gleaming high above the altar. In the fourth century, the supposed relics of the wise men were taken from Constantin-ople to Milan, where they remained until the German Emperor with the unlikely name Frederick Barbarossa (Red Beard) gave them to the Archbishop of Cologne. Ever since, pilgrims have streamed into the city to honor the magi, the first of all pilgrims, and thus the heavenly patrons of all who have some holy wanderlust. This largest Gothic cathedral in Europe today was begun in the mid-1200s to house the relics. In medieval times, the relics in a city’s possession were often the key to a sound international economy. The reliquary was last opened in 1864, and the remains of three men were indeed discovered. The cathedral is well worth a visit, with enormous twin spires forming the largest façade of any church in the world (it is the model for St. Patrick’s in New York). Construction began in 1248 and ended in 1880, a six-hundred-year project. Today, it is a World Heritage Site, described by the U.N. as “an exceptional work of human creative genius.” This great treasure of our tradition suffered fourteen direct bomb hits in World War II but did not collapse. It survived while the city burned around it, preserved, the townspeople say, by three heavenly patrons. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

    WHY DO WE DO THAT? - CATHOLIC TRADITIONS EXPLAINED Besides the Wise Men, what is significant about the Epiphany? Answer: Epiphany means "manifestation," or public display. The feast is usually celebrated January 6. In the US, it is celebrated on the Sunday nearest to January 6. It originates from a story unique to Matthew (2:1-12). Magi from the East come to offer homage to the newborn King, presenting him with gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. This part of Matthew's infancy narrative differs from Luke's account of the birth of Jesus. In Luke there are no Magi, star, nor gifts. Luke has Jesus being born in a stable after Mary and Joseph's long travel from Nazareth to Bethlehem. Matthew seems to have the family living in a house in Bethlehem, where the Magi find them. Why these differences? They stem from the needs and concerns of the audience the authors were addressing, as well as the theological stance of each author. Knowing the original intention helps get at the correct interpretation of the text. Since Matthew was writing primarily to a Jewish community, his concern was to show that Jesus did not come just for Jews, but for Gentiles as well. From his very birth, Jesus not only manifests himself to Jews, but also to Gentiles, who are prominently included in the manifestation, symbolized by the Magi and their journey. This is the most significant aspect of the feast of Epiphany. How do you manifest Jesus to all with whom you come into con-tact?
