Mass Intentions for the Week
January 6th & 7th, 2018
Scripture Insights The Epiphany of the Lord, which invites us to reflect on God’s manifestation in the world, gets its name from the Greek word epiphaneia meaning “appearing” or “manifestation.” For western Christians, the solemnity commemorates the revelation of Christ to the Gentiles as told in the story of the Magi. For Christians in the East, Epiphany celebrates several of the earliest mani-festations of Christ’s divinity, including his baptism in the Jordan. The First Reading celebrates the splendor of the New Jerusalem as God’s glory shines upon it. A city that was desolate after the exile, the prophet says, will now be filled with peoples from all over the world and the kings of nations will bring gold, frankincense, and sacrificial animals to worship Israel’s God. Continuing the theme of god’s manifestation to the world, the Second Reading presents Paul as one who has been called to reveal the mystery of Christ-that Gentiles are coheirs with their Jewish brethren in the one body which is the Church. The Gospel’s story of the visit of the Magi also fo-cuses on God’s manifestation in the world. Although the identity of the Magi and even their number is un-known, most experts believe that they were scholars of the esoteric sciences, such as dream interpretation or astrology, not kings as they are later depicted in story and art, However, the gifts that they brought-gold, frankincense, and myrrh-were the gifts of kings (see Isaiah 60:1-6). The story teaches that we may fail to recognize God’s presence in our midst, and may need insight from the strangers God sends to help us. Carefully read today’s Gospel, paying attention to
every detail that Mary, as a character in the story, might have observed. Notice that she never speaks. What do you think she might have wanted to say as the story unfolded?
What does the Second Readings say about how we
should be Church in light of the revelation of the mystery of Christ?
When in your life have you experienced the mani-
festation of God? What do you think keeps us from recognizing God’s presence more often?

Dios sale al encuentro de todos HOY ES LA FIESTA de la Epifanía del Señor. Al ano de haberle nacido al rey su primogénito, se acostumbraba convocar al pueblo a una gran fiesta para presentar públicamente al que seria el legitimo heredero del trono. Para la ocasión, los principales y gentes del pueblo le ofrecían regalos, lo mismo que los reinos vasallos le ofrecían tributos. Todo el pueblo podía reconocer a su futuro soberano, pues ya se sabe de las intrigas y traiciones que se tejían en torno a un rey débil o un trono vacante. Hoy es la fiesta de Jesús, cuando Dios lo muestra a toda la tierra. A una fiesta concurre toda suerte de amenidades y regocijos. Al festejo de hoy, el cielo le da un toque esplendoroso, con la estrella que guía y va anunciando a los sabios algo nuevo en el recién nacido; ella guía hasta la fuente de luz para todos los pueblos de la tierra. Solo el que camina necesita guía. Aquellos sabios dejaron sus seguridades y se entregan a la búsqueda de la luz. La fiesta de la Epifanía es una ruta de ida y vuelta. Los magos son buenos y generosos. Ellos le brindan al Dios Nino sus tesoros. El oro es lo mas rico que guarda la tierra y pertenecía a los reyes; la mirra era lo mas necesario en la medicina, por curar y aliviar los dolores, le pertenece a los médicos; el incienso so las resinas aromáticas de arboles preciosos, que se usaban para dar culto a Dios. Y Dios corresponde. Dios se revela y les deja conocer a los sabios, en las profundidades de los sueños, y sin la estrella, una ruta segura para volver a casa. Dios guía los pasos de sus elegidos y se deja ver en las señales de su gloria. Todos sabemos quien es Jesús, porque somos el pueblo de Dios, y Dios nos lo ha manifestado. Hay que ofrecer toda nuestra energía y nuestra alegría, para hacer realidad la fiesta del Reino de Dios, aquí y ahora.
Para Reflexionar 1. En que espacios a lugares nota usted que la dignidad
de las personas no es reconocida? 2. Donde considera usted que la Iglesia es “mas católica”? 3. Que valores o aportes de otra culturo u otra fe cabe
“VIMOS SURGIR SU ESTRELLA Y HEMOS VENIDO A ADORARLO” Aquellos sabios de Oriente fueron capaces de reconocer, a través de una Estrella, al rey de los judíos que acababa de nacer, que es Dios Hijo. El es el único Camino verdadero—si, no hay otro-que nos conduce hasta nuestro padre del cielo.
