The Epiphany of the Lord
Page 2
The Epiphany of the Lord
January 3, 2016
Rise up in splendor, Jerusalem!
Your light has come,
the glory of the Lord shines upon you.
— Isaiah 60:1
LOOKING IN THE RIGHT PLACES
“Appearances can be deceiving,” as the saying goes. As we celebrate the
epiphania, the “appearing” of the eternal Word of God on earth, this is still true.
What rapturous foresight must have filled Isaiah as he wrote the words we hear today. How, for four hundred
years, they must have filled the hearts of the people of Israel with hope for the day when God’s glory would shine on
them. How deceived some must have felt when the glory of God came to them in the lowliest and humblest of human
lives.
We have many expectations about how the divine presence will appear among us. But we can also set ourselves
up, through these expectations, to miss the divine glory when it truly appears. We get caught up in looking for the star,
forgetting that the star is not the divine sign, the babe is. It may take a persistent journey for us to come upon the true
appearance of God’s glory in our lives: Jesus Christ.

NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS
One of our parishioners, Floyd Fischer, who died in November had this as a marker in
his Bible. The note said; “A short course in human relations.”
The six most important words:
“I admit I made a mistake.”
The five most important words:
“You did a good job.”
The four most important words:
“What is your opinion?”
The three most important words:
“If you please.”
The two most important words:
“Thank you”.
The one most important word:
“We”
The least important word:
“I”
God Bless & Happy New Year, Fr. Mike

Giggles:
As they were getting dressed for the New Year’s party, she accused him of
being a procrastinator. So he stopped writing his Christmas cards and they
left together.
******************************************************************************************************
Toast: May all your troubles in the coming year be as short as your New Year’s resolution.
******************************************************************************************************
The only thing that was more depressing than staying in this New Year’s . . . Was going out.

If “I am” is the shortest sentence in the English language, what is the longest sentence. . . .”I do.”

An usher was passing around the collection plate at a wedding. The priest looked at the
usher very puzzled. The usher said, “Father, I know it is unusual, but the father of the
bride requested it.”
*****************************************************************************************************
The teacher was standing in front of a world map, “Josh, can you show me America on
this map?” Josh pointed correctly to America.
“Now John”, said the teacher, “Who discovered America?”
John replied, “Josh just did, Miss.”

La Epifanía del Señor
3 de enero de 2016
Levántate y resplandece, Jerusalén,
porque ha llegado tu luz
y la gloria del Señor alborea sobre ti.
— Isaías 60:1
BUSCAR EN EL LUGAR CORRECTO
“Las apariencias engañan” dice el refrán. Al celebrar la epifanía, la manifestación del
Verbo de Dios eterno en la tierra, el refrán sigue siendo cierto.
¡Qué sublime premonición debe haber sentido Isaías al escribir las palabras que hoy
escuchamos! Por cuatrocientos años, cómo habrán llenado los corazones del pueblo de Israel con esperanzas de que
llegaría el día en que la gloria de Dios se derramaría sobre ellos. ¡Qué desilusionados deben haberse sentido algunos
cuando la gloria de Dios les llegó en una vida humana de las más bajas y humildes!
Tenemos muchas expectativas de cómo la presencia divina va a manifestarse entre nosotros. Pero también
podemos exponernos, por culpa de esas expectativas, a perder de vista la gloria divina cuando se nos aparece de
verdad. Nos entretenemos buscando la estrella, y nos olvidamos que la estrella no es la señal divina, sino el bebé.
Puede que tengamos que persistir en el camino antes de llegar a encontrarnos con la apariencia real de la gloria de Dios
en nuestra vida: Jesucristo.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
Es tiempo de añadir los reyes magos al pesebre. En 1448 llegaron los pesebres italianos a las
iglesias españolas, pero no fue hasta que el Rey Carlos III le regaló un pesebre a su hijo en el
siglo XVIII que el uso de pesebres se expandió en los hogares. Desde entonces, el uso de
nacimientos llegó al continente americano en donde se convierte en la decoración principal para
las fiestas navideñas.
Así como en todo país latinoamericano el montaje del Belén es una tradición, lo es también en
Venezuela. Con el pesebre venezolano llegan también aguinaldos, parrandas, Misas y patines.
¡Sí! ¡Patines!
Desde la mitad del siglo pasado los venezolanos celebran la época navideña con “patinadas”.
Estas “patinadas” normalmente se hacen por las mañanas y muchas calles están cerradas a los
autos hasta las 8 a.m. para que niños y jóvenes puedan disfrutar de los patines, bicicletas y otros
juguetes que les regala el niño Dios. Por eso, muchos niños duermen con un “cordoncito” atado al
dedo gordo de los pies, que cuelgan por la ventana para que los despierten los que pasan
patinado.
