▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ The Epiphany of the Lord
January 6, 2019 ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
A Prayer for the Blessing of the House
Lord God of heaven and earth, you revealed your only-begotten Son to every nation by the guidance of a star. Bless this house and all who inhabit it. Fill them (us) with the light of Christ, that their (our) concern for others may reflect your love. We ask this through Christ our Lord. R/. Amen.
May Christ Jesus dwell with us, keep us from all harm, and make us one in mind and heart, now and forever. R/. Amen. One person incenses the house while another sprinkles holy water, and a third writes in chalk over every outside doorway “20 + C + M + B + 19”, which stands for “The three Holy Kings, Caspar, Melchior, Balthasar, in the year of Our Lord 2019.” The letters C, M, and B also stand for Christus mansionem benedicat, “May Christ bless this home.” Blessing the doorways symbolizes the family’s commitment to welcome everyone as Christ into their home throughout the year.
Rise up in splendor, Je-rusalem! Your light has come, the glory of the Lord shines upon you. -- Isaiah 60:1
Levántate y resplandece, Jerusalén, porque ha llegado tu luz y la glo-ria del Señor alborea so-bre ti. -- Isaías 60:1

A rather liberal priest was teasing one of the women of the parish, asking, "How do we know the Wise Men weren't Wise Women?" She answered, "If they were, they'd have brought bottles, diapers, and a bassinet, instead of gold, frankincense, and myrrh." Maybe they were wise enough to know that Mary could have bought a lot of diapers with the gold. The gifts, of course, are symbols of who Jesus is: a king who is both God and human. And I wonder what our gifts to the Lord say about our faith in him. Remember the song about the little drummer boy, who had no gift to bring but his ability to play the drum? Or the parable of the woman who brought two small coins to donate at the temple (Mark 12:42)? They both remind us that a person who gives all they have, no matter how little it seems, is the most generous. So what do we bring to the newborn king? I can give my time by coming to church for the feast of Epiphany and actually paying attention. How often do I sit in the pews, answer the prayers by heart, and suddenly realize that I can't remember what the first reading was, or what the homily was about? Just making the effort to listen to the words of scripture, to hear what God may be trying to tell me, could be a great gift. Or I could bring someone in our family, or a friend, who doesn't go to church very much. Now let's not forget the meaning of "epiphany." In ancient times it meant the appearance or manifestation of a divine being. In the early church the feast included the baptism of Christ (with the voice of the Father and the Spirit as a dove) and the miracle at Cana, as well as the visit of the magi. So what we celebrate is not so much our gifts or those of the Wise Men, as it is a gift from God, manifest in Jesus. Maybe a way to celebrate the Epiphany is to reflect on how God has been made known to me. Simple things, like a hug from a friend or an answered prayer, or major events like a wedding, the birth of a child, or a funeral, can all be ways to experience the Lord. The Wise Men received the gift of an epiphany by following a star. May the light of Christ lead you to him also.

Un sacerdote bastante liberal estaba molestando a una de las mujeres de la parroquia, preguntando: "¿Cómo sabemos que los hombres sabios no eran mujeres sabias?" Ella respondió: "Si lo fueran, habrían traído biberones, pañales y una cuna, en lugar de oro, incienso y mirra". Tal vez fueron lo suficientemente sabios como para saber que Maria podría haber comprado muchos pañales con el oro. Los regalos, por supuesto, son símbolos de quién es Jesús: un rey que es tanto Dios como humano. Y me pregunto qué dicen nuestros regalos al Señor acerca de nuestra fe en él. ¿Recuerdas la canción sobre el nino del tambor, que no tenía ningún don que traer sino su habilidad para tocar el tambor? ¿O la parábola de la mujer que trajo dos monedas pequeñas para donar en el templo (Marcos 12:42)? Ambos nos recuerdan que una persona que da todo lo que tiene, por muy poco que parezca, es la más generosa. Entonces, ¿qué le traemos al rey recién nacido? Puedo dedicar mi tiempo al asistir a la iglesia para la fiesta de la Epifanía y, en realidad, prestar atención. ¿Con qué frecuencia me siento en las bancas, respondo las oraciones de memoria y de repente me doy cuenta de que no puedo recordar qué fue la primera lectura o de qué trataba la homilía? Hacer un esfuerzo para escuchar las palabras de las Escrituras, para escuchar lo que Dios está tratando de decirme, podría ser un gran regalo. O podría traer a alguien de nuestra familia, o un amigo, que no vaya mucho a la iglesia. Ahora no olvidemos el significado de "epifanía". En la antigüedad significaba la aparición o manifestación de un ser divino. En la iglesia primitiva, la fiesta incluía el bautismo de Cristo (con la voz del Padre y el Espíritu como paloma) y el milagro en Caná, así como la visita de los magos. Entonces, lo que celebramos no es tanto nuestros regaalos o los de los Reyes Magos, ya que es un regalo de Dios, manifestado en Jesús. Tal vez una forma de celebrar la Epifanía es reflexionar sobre cómo Dios se me ha dado a conocer. Las cosas simples, como un abrazo de un amigo o una oración contestada, o eventos importantes como una boda, el nacimiento de un niño o un funeral, pueden ser formas de experimentar al Señor. Los Reyes Magos recibieron el regalo de una epifanía al seguir una estrella. Que la luz de Cristo te lleve también a él. Tom Schmidt, Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co.
