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
nations. 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.

THE SANCTUARY LIGHT IN CHURCH BURNS IN MEMORY OF
CECILIA AVALOS
GIVING HOMAGE In our minds, it is easy to mix up bits and pieces
from Luke’s account of the shepherds coming to see Jesus in the
stable and the story of the magi. Clearly, it has
taken the magi time to get here, and the reading speaks of them
coming to the house where the star led them. Nevertheless, they
“prostrated themselves and
did him homage. Then they opened their treasures ...”
How do we do this? Do we continue looking for Jesus, even if
takes a while and he is not where we expect to see him? Are we
paying attention to the signs showing us the way? What gifts do we
have with which to pay
him homage? After seeing him, the Magi were warned in a dream
not to go back the way they came. But if
we have seen the Christ child, how can we go back to where we
were? We must continue to respond to
God’s call to move forward and grow in our lives. We must seek
the right and just path and turn away from
the “Herods” and inherent evils in our life. Nutshell: Seek God.
Pay homage. Amen.
SEARCHING In Matthew’s Gospel today we see two extremely
different perspectives, two different reasons for searching for
Jesus. In some ways, this resembles the polarization of our nation
in today’s time. What one group sees as good for the nation,
those with opposing views think will wreck the country. The Magi
were astrologers who saw a vision in the sky and were trying to
find a way to follow it and discover the new
king of the Jews. Herod heard about this king, and his reac-tion
was dark and negative. He saw the birth of such a king as a threat
to his power as the Roman leader of the country
and wanted the Magi to pass on to him what they knew about this
Christ child. Similarly, on a more personal level,
we can either feel threatened or excited by changes that may
come, depending on our perspective.
HAGO EPIFANÍA Cuando un alma generosa responde “sí” a Dios,
él baja al mundo, se hace Epifanía. —Anónimo
THE HOLY STAR O Father, may that holy star Grow every year more
bright
And send its glorious beams afar To fill the world with light.
—William Cullen Bryant

BUSCANDO En el Evangelio de hoy de Mateo vemos dos perspec-
tivas extremadamente diferentes, dos razones diferentes para
buscar a Jesús. En cierto modo, esto se parece a la polarización de
nuestra nación en el
tiempo actual. Lo que un grupo ve como bueno para la nación,
quienes tienen puntos de vista opuesto
piensan que eso arruinará el país. Los Reyes Magos eran
astrólogos que vieron una visión en el cielo y
trataban de encontrar una forma de seguirla y descubrir al nuevo
rey de los judíos. Herodes escuchó acerca de este rey y su reacción
fue oscura y negativa. Él vio el nacimiento de tal rey como una
amenaza a su poder como líder romano del país y pidió a los Reyes
Magos le dijeran lo que sabían sobre ese niño mesías. De igual
manera, en un nivel más personal, ya sea que
nos podamos sentir amenazados o emocionados por los cambios que
puedan venir, dependiendo de
nuestra perspectiva.
DANDO HOMENAJE En nuestras mentes, es fácil mezclar pedazos y
piezas del relato de Lucas que cuenta acerca de los pastores
que vinieron a ver a Jesús en el establo y la historia de los
magos. Claramente, a los magos les tomó tiempo llegar hasta ahí y
la lectura habla de ellos yendo a la
casa donde la estrella los guiaba. Sin embargo, “se postraron y
le rindieron homenaje. Luego
abrieron sus tesoros . . . “ ¿Cómo lo hacemos? ¿Seguimos
buscando a Jesús, aunque tarde un poco y no esté donde
esperamos
verlo? ¿Estamos atentos a las señales que nos indican el camino?
¿Qué regalos tenemos para rendirle
homenaje? Después de verlo, en un sueño los magos fueron
advertidos de no regresar por donde habían ido. Pero si ya vimos al
niño Jesús, ¿cómo podemos regresar por donde estábamos? Debemos
seguir re-
spondiendo al llamado de Dios para avanzar y crecer en nuestras
vidas. Debemos buscar el camino justo y
correcto y alejarnos de “Herodes” y de los males propios de
nuestra vida.
En pocas palabras: Busca a Dios. Rinde homenaje. Amén.
