Mass Intentions—Dec26th– January 3rd

First Reading Isaiah 60:1-6 Jerusalem shall be a light to all nations.

Responsorial Psalm Psalm 72:1-2,7-8,10-11,12-13 Every nation on earth shall worship the Lord.

Second Reading Ephesians 3:2-3a,5-6 Gentiles are coheirs in the promise of Christ.

Gospel Reading Matthew 2:1-12 The Magi seek out Jesus and do him homage.

Background on the Gospel Reading

The visit of the Magi occurs directly before the story of the Holy Family’s flight into Egypt. Matthew’s Gospel tells a version of Jesus’ birth that is different than the one in Luke. Of the actual birth of Jesus, Matthew tells us little more than, “When Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the days of King Herod . . . ” The story of the census is found only in Luke’s Gospel, but we hear about the visit of the Magi only in Matthew’s Gospel.

We know little about the Magi. They come from the East and journey to Bethlehem, following an astrological sign, so we believe them to be astrologers. We assume that there were three Magi based upon the naming of their three gifts. The Gospel does not say how many Magi paid homage to Jesus. In Matthew’s Gospel, they represent the Gentiles’ search for a savior. Because the Magi represent the entire world, they also represent our search for Jesus.

We have come to consider the gifts they bring as a foreshadowing of Jesus’ role in salvation. We believe the meaning of the gifts to be Christological. Gold is presented as representative of Jesus’ kingship. Frankincense is a symbol of his divinity because priests burned the substance in the Temple. Myrrh, which was used to prepare the dead for burial, is offered in anticipation of Jesus’ death.

The word Epiphany means “manifestation” or “showing forth.” Historically several moments in Christ’s early life and ministry have been celebrated as “epiphanies,” including his birth in Bethlehem, the visit of the Magi, his baptism by John, and his first miracle at Cana.

Thank you to the Hugoton Foundation

Saint Coleman was richly blessed this Christmas

Season with the generous donation of our new

outdoor Nativity Scene. We are grateful to the

Hugoton Foundation, and especially Board

Member Kathleen Stout, for their kindness in

giving this gift to our parish community.

As Pope Francis wrote in his Apostolic Letter

Admirabile Signum, “The enchanting image of the

Christmas crèche, so dear to the Christian people,

never ceases to arouse amazement and wonder.“

As we pass by the crèche throughout the

Christmas season on our way into Mass, let us

contemplate that each of us is called to bear glad

tidings to all, testifying by our practical works of

mercy to the joy of knowing Jesus and his love.

Nativity Scene on our Website!
