Reflections ~ Reflexiones

Pastor’s Message~ Mensaje del Párroco STAR GAZERS

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.

Living Stewardship Now: 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).

CONTEMPLADORES DE ESTRELLAS 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.

La Corresponsabilidad Vivida Ahora 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)

Gospel: Matthew: 2: 1-12 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.) The astrologers, or magi, represent all the peoples of the world. They had to make an effort to find Jesus. Even after seeing the star, they had to make a long journey before finding the Savior of the world. How are you like the magi? Do you have "stars" in your life that lead you on the right path to Jesus? Who or what are they?

Gospel: Mateo 2: 1-12 Hoy celebramos la Epifanía de Jesús a otras naciones además de Israel. Cuando los astrólogos, los magos, del este vieron la estrella aparecer en el cielo, ellos la aceptaron como una señal de que un gran líder había nacido. Sin saber donde la estrella los guiaría o que encontrarían, los magos salieron llevando sus regalos. Su fe y valor fue recompensado cuando Dios les reveló a su propio Hijo. 1.)En nuestro peregrinaje en la fe, también tenemos que estar alerta a las señales, en la hermosa creación, en la Iglesia, en las artes y las ciencias, en las particularidades de cada per sona. ¿Cómo estarás alerta a las estrellas a tu alrededor? ¿Cómo vas a dejar que Jesús brille a través de ti?

TThhee SSttaarr ooff BBeetthhlleehheemm:: The unfolding of the story of the Incarnation continues today as the Church celebrates the Epiphany. The tale of the magi from the East is one of the most fascinating in all of scripture. It has much to teach us about what we can come to expect, even in circumstances and places that may seem insignificant or small. Bethlehem was a tiny town, what we might refer to today as a town without even one stop light. Yet it is over this seemingly insignificant place that the guiding star stops in its own search for the place where the Savior would be born. Too often we fail to recognize the fact that the star of Bethlehem comes to rest in our everyday lives, where we can experience God’s presence, manifested in ever new ways. Epiphany calls us to shake off our stupor and recognize the One who comes to save us. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

They opened their treasures and offered him gifts

of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. — Matthew 2:11b

Treasure From Our Tradition: This year, in the United States the celebration of the Epiphany falls on January 8, but the traditional date for the Epiphany is January 6. The date we know as January 6 was established as the solstice in Egypt in 1996 BC, but the Egyptian calendar lost a full day every 128 years. Twenty centuries later the actual solstice had migrated to December 25. People still kept January 6 for the solstice celebration, but December 25, matching nicely with the Roman pagan feast of the Unconquered Sun, launched an extended solstice holiday. By the time of the early church, the whole period of twelve days was celebrated just about everywhere. Christians began to celebrate Christ as the true light of the world in four themes: the Nativity, the manifestation to the Gentiles, the baptism of the Lord, and the wedding feast at Cana. That was entirely too much for one day to handle. A twelve-day season was ready to be adapted, so Christians borrowed from the pagan calendar for their own season of light. Thus early Christian celebrations of the Christmas season extended from one date for the solstice, December 25, to the older date, January 6. The darkest time in the Northern Hemisphere could now be filled with the Christian observance of the arrival of the Light of the World. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

TTrraaddiicciioonneess ddee NNuueessttrraa FFee: Es tiempo de añadir los reyes magos al pesebre. En 1448 llegaron los pesebres italianos a las iglesias españolas, pero no fue hasta que el Rey Carlos III le regaló un pesebre a su hijo en el siglo XVIII que el uso de pesebres se expandió en los hogares. Desde entonces, el uso de nacimientos llegó al continente americano en donde se conviertió en la decoración principal para las fiestas navideñas. Así como en todo país latinoamericano el montaje del Belén es una tradición, lo es también en Venezuela. Con el pesebre venezolano llegan también aguinaldos, parrandas, Misas y patines. ¡Sí! ¡Patines! Desde la mitad del siglo pasado los venezolanos celebran la época navideña con “patinadas”. Estas “patinadas” normalmente se hacen por las mañanas y muchas calles están cerradas a los autos hasta las 8 a.m. para que niños y jóvenes puedan disfrutar de los patines, bicicletas y otros juguetes que les regala el niño Dios. Por esto, muchos niños duermen con un “cordoncito” atado al dedo gordo de los pies, que cuelgan por la ventana para que los despierten los que pasan patinado. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

LLaa EEssttrreellllaa DDee BBeelléénn:: El desarrollo del relato de la Encarnación continúa hoy cuando la Iglesia celebra la Epifanía. La historia de los Magos de oriente es uno de los relatos más fascinantes de las Escrituras. Nos enseña mucho sobre qué podemos esperar, incluso en circunstancias y lugares que pueden parecer insignificantes. Belén era un pueblo diminuto, lo que hoy diríamos un pueblo sin siquiera un semáforo. Sin embargo, es sobre este lugar aparentemente insignificante que la estrella guía se detuvo en su búsqueda del lugar en donde el Salvador nacería. Muchas veces no comprendemos que la estrella de Belén se posa en nuestra vida diaria, donde podemos sentir la presencia de Dios, manifestada de maneras diversas y nuevas. La Epifanía nos llama a salir de nuestro estupor y a reconocer a Aquél que viene a salvarnos. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.
