The Epiphany of the Lord
January 2, 2011
They opened their treasures and offered him
gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
— Matthew 2:11b
From the Pastor’s Desk
Happy New Year! I hope that all of you have
had a wonderful celebration of the birth of Our Lord
into our world, and are now beginning a new
calendar year full of hope and joy. The Church
celebrates January 1 as the feast of Mary in her title
as Mother of God. In this most mysterious event, a
human being gives birth to our very God, to her own
creator. When the bishops gathered at the Council of
Ephesus in 431 declared this as truth, they were
actually making more of a statement about Jesus than
about Our Lady. They said, in effect, that his
humanity and divinity are both so integral to who he
is that you cannot separate them, saying that Mary
gave birth to his humanity only. It is also a statement
about us: the part of us, sometimes deeply
hidden, that is created in the image and
likeness of God, is integral to who we
are. We are truly a marvelous creation, a
mysterious intertwining of sinful
humanity enlivened by the spark of
divinity. May we always recognize
ourselves and others for the mysteries that we are.
Today’s feast, that of the Epiphany of the
Lord, is the revelation of that divinity, that
specialness, in the guise of simple humanity. The
Magi who came from the East recognized it in Jesus.
It was revealed at Jesus’ baptism in the Jordan, and
once again at His first miracle at Cana. This feast is a
reminder to me that it can still be revealed, even in
the midst of the ordinariness of life.
Also, January 2 is the feast of St. Basil the
Great, who was chosen by our founders to be patron
of the Basilian Fathers. St. Basil, a fourth century
bishop and founder of monasticism in the East, had a
special love for learning and the poor, and an
appreciation of the gift of friendship. I pray that St.
Basil may continue to bless all of you, all of this
parish community of Most Holy Trinity, with these
gifts of genuine friendship, of a love for learning,
and a commitment to serving the poor.
Fr. Maurice
Mensaje del Parroco
¡Feliz Año Nuevo! Espero que todos ustedes
hayan tenido una celebración maravillosa del
nacimiento de Nuestro Señor en nuestro mundo, y estén
empezando un nuevo año lleno de esperanza y alegría.
La Iglesia celebra el 1 de enero la fiesta de María con
su título de Madre de Dios. En este evento tan
misterioso, un ser humano da a-luz a nuestro
mismísimo Dios, a su propio creador. Cuando los
obispos se reunieron en el Concilio de Efeso en el año
431 declararon esto hecho como verdadero, realmente
hicieron una declaración mas bien sobre Jesús que
sobre Nuestra Señora. En efecto dijeron que su
humanidad y divinidad son ambas tan integrales sobre
quien es él que no se pueden separar, diciendo que
María sólo dio nacimiento a su humanidad. Esto es
también una declaración sobre nosotros: la
parte de nosotros, a veces profundamente
oculta, creada a imagen y semejanza de
Dios, es integral a quiénes somos.
Verdaderamente somos una creación
maravillosa, un entrelazamiento misterioso
de humanidad pecadora avivada por el
destello de divinidad. Que siempre nos reconozcamos,
a nosotros mismos y a los demás, por los misterios que
somos.
La fiesta de hoy, de la Epifanía del Señor, es la
revelación de esa divinidad, esa característica especial,
disfrazada de simple humanidad. Los magos que
vinieron del Este la reconocieron en Jesús. Fue
revelada en el bautismo de Jesús en el Jordan, y una
vez más en su primer milagro en Cana. Esta fiesta es un
recordatorio para mí de que todavía puede ser revelada,
incluso en medio de la vida cotidiana.
También, el 2 de enero es la fiesta de San Basilio
Magno, quién fue escogido por nuestros fundadores
como patrono de los Padres Basilianos. San Basilio, un
obispo del siglo cuarto y fundador del monasticismo en
el Este, tenía un amor especial por aprender y por los
pobres, y una admiración especial por el regalo de la
amistad. Oro para que San Basilio continúe
bendiciendo a todos ustedes, a toda ésta comunidad
parroquia de la Santísima Trinidad, con estos regalos
de amistad genuina, de un amor por aprender, y de un
compromiso para servir a los pobres.
Padre Maurice
The Epiphany of the Lord
La Epifanía del Señor
Reflection by Deacon Rob Ward
I have heard many questions about Epiphany.
Some ask who were these astrologers? And how
come they are called that now when they were called
the wise men. And one more question...Did the
family sell these gifts to pay for their trip to Egypt?
The trouble is, we do not ask the right questions.
This is a story of a journey, a search. Who is
really making the journey? We are. It is called life,
and like those special excursion flights, we have to
return to the point of origin, which is called God. To
die and believe one will see God is an old and very
simple statement of Christian faith. But to live and
see God and to walk with God every day is even
more challenging and perhaps takes greater faith.
The first answer to the search for God is that
we have to help one another. In
the gospel Epiphany story, the
wise men did not make the search
alone. They traveled in a group, a
like-minded community. They
sought out expert advice, and
they listened to those learned in
scriptures. We are a community
of faith called the Church. The
Church helps us interpret the
scripture and shares its traditions
to help us on our journey. It is
here to help us enter into God’s presence.
Today on the Feast of the Epiphany, we are
reminded that our search is for God, or more
precisely, for that saving action through which God
comes in contact with us, all of us. A star guided the
wise men’s actions. So, too, with God’s revelation
that happened long ago with the coming of Christ,
but God’s revelation is radiated into our life anew
each day of our lives.
God, Christ, is in human life, and will be
recognized if we have the eyes to see, ears to hear,
and a heart to believe.
Reflexión por Diácono Rob Ward
He oído muchas preguntas sobre la Epifanía.
Algunos preguntan ¿quiénes eran estos astrólogos? Y
porque los llamaban así y ahora los llaman reyes
magos. ¿Y una pregunta más... La Familia; ¿vendió
estos regalos para pagar su viaje a Egipto? El
problema es que no hacemos las preguntas correctas.
Ésta es una historia de una jornada, una
búsqueda. ¿Quién está realmente haciendo la
jornada? Somos nosotros. Se llama vida y, como esos
viajes especiales de excursión, tenemos que volver al
punto de origen que se llama Dios. Morir y creer que
uno verá a Dios es una antigua y muy simple
declaración de fe cristiana. Pero vivir y ver a Dios y
caminar con Dios todos los días es mucho más
desafiante y quizás requiere mayor fe.
La primera respuesta a la
búsqueda de Dios es que
tenemos que ayudarnos el uno al
otro. En el evangelio sobre la
historia de la Epifanía, los reyes
magos no hicieron esta búsqueda
solos. Ellos viajaron en un
grupo, una comunidad dispuesta.
Buscaron consejos especiales, y
escucharon a aquéllos educados
en las escrituras. Nosotros somos
una comunidad de fe llamada la
Iglesia. La Iglesia nos ayuda a interpretar la escritura
y comparte sus tradiciones para ayudarnos en nuestra
jornada; está aquí para ayudarnos a entrar en la
presencia de Dios.
Hoy en la Fiesta del Epifanía, se nos recuerda
que estamos en búsqueda de Dios, o para ser mas
preciso, de esa acción salvadora a través de la cual
Dios entra en contacto con nosotros, con todos
nosotros. Una estrella guió las acciones de los reyes
magos. Así también, con la revelación de Dios que
sucedió hace mucho tiempo con la venida de Cristo.
Pero la revelación de Dios se irradia nuevamente en
nuestra vida, cada día de nuestras vidas.
Dios, Cristo, existe en vida humana, y le
reconoceremos si tenemos los ojos para ver, los
oídos para oír, y un corazón para creer.
Please pray for our loved ones and friends in

Charitable Contributions
and the IRS
Due to changes in the tax laws,
parishioners (those who itemize their
tax returns) are no
longer able to deduct
contributions to the
parish unless they can
provide a bank record or
written contribution statement from
the parish.
If you want to ensure deductibility
of your contributions to the parish,
please use a check, direct deposit
from your bank account, or your
parish envelopes. The parish staff
will track contributions made using
parish envelopes and will, upon
request, provide a written statement
of contributions made during 2011.
Cancelled checks and other bank
records are also sufficient
documentation. We cannot track
cash contributions that are not in
parish envelopes.
Age of Technology
Have you ever thought of getting a gift for the
parish? We here at Most Holy Trinity are in need of
new computers. Some of our present ones are still
running versions of Windows so old that they cannot
run the newer programs that we use for bulletins and
some of the archdiocesan
business. Sometimes we can’t
open attachments that people
send us because we have such
old software versions. It
would be a dream-come-true
to have an up-to-date server
and computer network for our parish offices.
Anyone else wishing to donate to this endeavor is
asked to contact the parish office.
New Clergy Vestments!
We are getting close to being able to purchase a set
of green vestments for use at Masses! Cardinal
DiNardo has stated that he wants all deacons to wear
dalmatics (an outer garment with sleeves, worn over
the alb and stole), and that the chasubles priests wear
should be of the type that has the stole inside. It is
time, then, to start updating. I hope to be able to
purchase a set of vestments each year that are
dignified, yet not extravagant, until we have all the
liturgical colors. Since green, worn during Ordinary
Time, gets the most use, I would like to start with
that. Anyone wishing to donate to this endeavor is
asked to contact the parish office.
Thank you, Fr. Maurice

Eucharist.
Feast of the Epiphany of the Lord
Epiphany means “manifestation” referring to the
appearance of Jesus. The significance of this day is
not just the arrival of the Magi, but the coming of
Gentiles to adore the newborn King of the Jews. The
event recognized Jesus’ rule over the entire world.
Many traditions about the Magi, often referred to as
“wise men”, have evolved over time. The scriptures
speak of three gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh,
but never say how many Magi brought them.
Nonetheless, tradition claims there were three and
even ascribes to them the names of Melchoir,
Balthasar and Caspar.
During this Christmas season, families are
encouraged to keep the feast of Epiphany.
Traditionally, we bless our homes on Epiphany. We
recall the visit of the Magi and ask God’s blessing
on our homes and all who inhabit them. An Eastern
custom uses blessed chalk,
called “epiphany chalk”, to
inscribe the number of the new
year; the initials C, M and B,
representing the magi; with a
cross preceding each initial, standing for “saint”, on
the lintel of the front door of the home. The letters
also abbreviate the prayer “Christus mansionem
benedicat,” “May Christ bless this house.”
Gather your household at your home manger scene
and offer a “Blessing of the Home and Household.”
Involve several family members in the blessing,
especially the younger children of the home. Go
from room to room asking the Lord’s blessing on
those who inhabit them.
Use your imagination for your own personal ideas to
recall the importance of the message of the Magi. In
place of gold, frankincense and myrrh, make your
own special offerings: in place of gold, offer funds
for the poor; in place of frankincense, letters to
legislators on behalf of the needy; in place of myrrh,
gifts for the homebound and dying. Add extra
candles to the family dining table, as a reminder of
the star the magi followed, and the light that the
presence of Christ brings into our daily homes.
