from the Pastor

THE EPIPHANY OF THE LORD With the arrival of the Magi, three kingly astrologers from the east (Persia), the celebra on of our Savior’s birth goes out to the whole world. This is one of several early signs that God’s saving plan is indeed for the whole world. “Light” is a constant theme throughout this Christmas Season as it would also be throughout our Lord’s public ministry. Isaiah announced, in the reading from Midnight Mass: “The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light, upon those who dwelt in the land of gloom a light has shone” (Isaiah 9:1-2). Later, Jesus would say of himself, “I am the light of the world.”

Today, at the Epiphany of the Lord, the Wise men, having followed the light of the heavenly star leading to Bethlehem, now enter most directly into the light of the Christ Child. Their reac on is an enduring example for us; they kneel before the Divine Infant to worship and adore him.

In Christmas With The Holy Fathers, the meaning of Epiphany is explained:

Epiphany comes from the Greek word “Epiphania”, which means “to make known or reveal.” The celebra on of Epiphany originated in the Eastern Church in the year 361 A.D., as the day to remember the birth of Christ. (Only the churches in Armenia s ll mark the Na vity as January 6, rather than December 25.) Since the Middle Ages, Epiphany has marked three events in the early life of Jesus: the visit of the three magi to the Infant Jesus, Christ’s bap sm in the Jordan River (this is the primary event of the Epiphany in Orthodox Churches), and Christ’s first miracle at the wedding in Cana. All three of the events are central to the meaning of Epiphany.

Pope St. John Paul II, on January 6 (the tradi onal date for the feast of the Epiphany) in 1999, wrote the following, an excerpt from his homily for the Epiphany:

Today the whole liturgy speaks of the light of Christ, of that light which was kindled on the Holy Night...In his spiritual quest, the human being already enjoys a guiding light: it is a reason, through which he can find the way, although gropingly (see Acts 17:27), toward his Creator. But since it is easy to lose the way, God himself has come to his aid with the light of Revela on, which a ained its fullness in the incarna on of the Word, the eternal Word of Truth.

Epiphany celebrates the appearance in the world of this divine Light in which God has reached out to the faint light of human reason. Today’s solemnity suggests the close rela onship between faith and reason, the two wings on which the human spirit rises to the contempla on of truth. Sincerely in Christ,

Fr. Albert

Copartners in the Promise. The readings and this solemnity are filled with compe ng images and persons. Darkness and light. Chris ans of Jewish heritage and Gen les. Chosen people and coheirs, copartners. Herod and the Magi. Epiphany teaches us this: all are members of the same body, all are coheirs of God’s goodness, all are copartners in the promise of Christ Jesus.

♦ Like the Magi, how will I give homage to Christ today? ♦ Whom do I look down upon that I must see as a

copartner with me? ♦ What treasure will I give away, will I offer to another?

Spiritual Act of Communion

My Jesus I believe that you are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love you above all things and I desire to receive you in my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive you sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace you as if you were already there and unite myself wholly to you. Never permit me to be separated from you. Amen.

Be still and know that I am God - Psalm 46:10

The person who prac ces medita on in the Chris an tradi on – praying in silence and s llness - seeks to be present and open to God who is always present and open to his beloved. Prac cing medita on enables us - with the grace of God - to be present and open to each moment, to others in daily life, and to God’s presence in all of life.

Many people prac ce various forms of medita ve prayer such as Lec o Divina (Sacred Reading), Centering Prayer, the Jesus Prayer, Chris an Medita on, or the Prayer of Recollec on of Saint Teresa of Avila. Whatever prac ce engaged during the prayer period, it is important to remember that any form of medita on or contempla on in the Chris an tradi on complements our other forms of prayer. It does not replace them.

This ongoing weekly gathering group is intended for adults to pray communally with other adults in silent medita on, and to receive mutual encouragement and support in their own contempla ve prac ce. We meet Wednesday a ernoons from 1:00 un l 2:00 pm. During the current period, as we live with the pandemic, we will not meet in person, but via ZOOM, a free app for online groups.

Each session begins with a welcome followed by a me of forma on (an appropriate reading) to help prepare and guide us to a twenty-minute period of medita on. A er the medita on period, a brief me in discussion helps to integrate and reflect on the experience. You may wish to par cipate each week, or when you are able. Contact Bob Valle at bvalle@sjpdg.org for more informa on and be placed on an email reminder list. You will receive a Mee ng ID number and a passcode to enter the online group.

Gospel of Mark 1:7-11 Sunday, January 10, 2021

This is what John the Bap st proclaimed: “One migh er than I is coming a er me. I am not worthy to stoop and loosen the thongs of his sandals. I have bap zed you with water; he will bap ze you with the Holy Spirit.” It happened in those days that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was bap zed in the Jordan by John. On coming up out of the water he saw the heavens being torn open and the Spirit, like a dove, descending upon him. And a voice came from the heavens, “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.”

Todays’ Readings First Reading — Rise up in splendor, Jerusalem! The Lord shines upon you and the glory of the Lord appears over you (Isaiah 60:1-6). Psalm — Lord, every na on on earth will adore you (Psalm 72). Second Reading — The Gen les are coheirs, copartners in the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel (Ephesians 3:2-3a, 5-6). Gospel — Magi from the east arrived, looking for the newborn king of the Jews (Ma hew 2:1-12).

Promise Fulfilled Isaiah reminds the people of God that the land shall be restored to their possession, they shall rejoice to see their people return from the bondage of exile, and they shall be a light to the na ons. In other words, through the people of Israel, the Savior shall come to all people who seek God with a sincere heart. This brings joy and the radiance of God’s glory to all the world and to all people everywhere. Through the fidelity of the people of God, and through God’s fidelity to them, all people shall become God’s children and rejoice in the fulfillment of God’s promise to Israel. Copyright © J. S.
