According to today's Gospel, the mystery the wise men of the East wished to
solve was the birthplace of the King of the Jews. For Saint Paul, the mystery revealed by the Holy Spirit consists in that "the Gentiles are coheirs" of the same inheritance God promised. Today, on this great solemnity of Epiphany, the Church celebrates the revelation of our Savior to all nations, represented by the encounter with the three wise men who travel from the East to see the newborn babe in the manger in Bethlehem. Customary symbols accompany the celebration: the star that guides the wise men, the light the Child Jesus is for all who search for peace, and the meeting of believers and non-believers. God calls us together to gather us in his love, and he calls us to become one family where peace and reconciliation reign. How do we welcome our neighbors and friends who do not share our faith? Have we tried meeting with the leaders of other communities, Christian and non-Christian alike, to give thanks to God for all the good things we share in our society?
Según el Evangelio de hoy, el
misterio que los sabios de Oriente deseaban resolver era el lugar de nacimiento del rey de los judíos. Para san Pablo, el misterio revelado por el Espíritu Santo consiste en que "los gentiles son coherederos" de la misma herencia que Dios prometió. Hoy, en esta gran solemnidad de la Epifanía, la Iglesia celebra la revelación de nuestro Salvador a todas las naciones, representada por el encuentro con los tres sabios que viajan desde Oriente para ver al bebé recién nacido en el pesebre de Belén. Los símbolos consuetudinarios acompañan la celebración: la estrella que guía a los sabios, la luz que el Niño Jesús es para todos los que buscan la paz, y el encuentro de creyentes y no creyentes. Dios nos llama juntos para reunirnos en su amor, y nos llama a convertirnos en una sola familia donde reina la paz y la reconciliación. ¿Cómo damos la bienvenida a nuestros vecinos y amigos que no comparten nuestra fe? ¿Hemos intentado reunirnos con los líderes de otras comunidades, cristianas y no cristianas por igual, para dar gracias a Dios por todas las cosas buenas que compartimos en nuestra sociedad?

From the Desk of Father Kurt This weekend we celebrate the feast of the Epiphany of the Lord, which means that God is made manifest. There are traditionally three events that are associated with this feast, the arrival of the three Kings, the Baptism of our Lord, and the wedding feast of Cana. These events all reveal God being made manifest to us in the person of his Son Jesus Christ. Gift giving, baptisms, and weddings are times when we can feel love being generated and this makes us feel good and happy. God wants us to have a similar experience as we celebrate together God manifesting himself amongst us as Love itself.
In this cruel world that we live in it is so difficult to imagine a God who is pure love, and yet, if we allow ourselves to be embraced by the manifestation of God’s love for us, we in turn can be the manifestation of God’s love for others. In so many ways I witness each of you manifesting God’s love for your families and the needs of others. You inspire me to keep the faith and continue my own efforts to be the manifestation of love as a priest. I also want to personally thank all of you for the wonderful expressions of your love for me this Christmas and for all the wonderful gifts, cards and goodies.
Love in Christ Father Kurt Farrell
