January 3, 2016—The Epiphany of the Lord
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.

Over the next few weeks, if you were
to stroll around Prague or Budapest
or Kraków, you might see curious
grafitti scratched in chalk over some
doorways:
"20 C M B 16." The families dwelling
behind those doors have celebrated
the Epiphany door blessing. They
have gathered before the feast-day
meal, probably after Mass, and the
head of the family has traced the sign
of the cross on the piece of chalk.
Standing on a ladder, the leader traces the numbers for the new year, and
the letters C M B for Christus Mansionem Benedicat, Latin for "May
Christ bless this house." The letters
also point to the names that tradition
has assigned to the mysterious magi,
Caspar, Melchior, and Balthasar-although scripture tells us nothing of
their number, their country, or their
names.
The blessing speaks of journeys ended
and journeys begun at the doorway,
and prays that all journeys be as satisfying as was the magi's. It prays that
the house beyond the door have the
quality of love and peace that the magi marveled at when they at last arrived in Bethlehem. In some countries
where the Soviet Union tried to impose a harsh atheism, the vigor of this
household custom survived all efforts
to erase Christian customs. In the
years of struggle, the chalked blessings were a pervasive sign of defiance,
and now in the light of new freedoms,
they are a sign of the resilience of our
tradition and the fulfillment of the
magi's quest for meaning and peace.

Five Essential Pro-Life Principles
for Healthcare Reform
Healthcare reform laws:
(1) must expressly prohibit funding for
abortion and for insurance coverage
for abortion, and must not undermine
any existing federal or state restrictions on abortion funding or coverage.
(2) must not mandate insurance coverage for abortions, abortion-inducing
drugs/devices, or other drugs/devices
that can end life.
(3) must provide broad protection for
the freedom of conscience for individuals, entities, and associations. No
person, employer, healthcare provider, or insurer should be compelled to
act contrary to his, her, or its conscience.
(4) must not contain provisions that
mandate or encourage the withholding, withdrawal or curtailment of effective life-sustaining treatment to the
chronically ill, the disabled, or other
vulnerable persons.
Congratulations to Madelyn Elyse
Hebert, daughter of James & Stephanie Hebert, who was baptized here on
December 12, 2015.
Congratulations to Meaghan Elizabeth Hebert, daughter of James &
Stephanie Hebert, who was baptized
here on December 12, 2015.
Congratulations to Thomas Jared
Owens, son of Lee & Melissa Owens, who was baptized here on December 12, 2015.
(5) must not place restrictions on
states’ ability to enact and enforce
legislation that protects and affirms
life. For example, states must be permitted to choose which providers and
plans to work with and to determine
how money will be spent and who is
eligible.

Jubilee Year of Mercy
January 3, 2016
The Epiphany of the Lord
In this Jubilee Year of Mercy, Epiphany celebrates God's mercy shining
on the magi from a guiding star.
Their kingdoms were far from Jerusalem, their religions far from God's
covenant with Israel. At first the star
led the magi to Jerusalem, where
they could "recalculate" their quest
with the help of God's own "GPS,"
the Jewish scriptures. How challenging and humbling for the magi to
discover that they would find the
world's Messiah not in a palace but
with a poor couple in an insignificant
village. That's where God's mercy,
shining in the star, led the magi to
worship Jesus, the Prince of Peace.
Today the magi invite us to
"recalculate" our life's journey during
this Jubilee Year--to follow the star of
God's mercy along the way of humble love, to discover a renewed personal relationship with Jesus ourselves and so become "guiding stars"
leading other seekers to find Jesus,
too.

The Epiphany of the Lord
"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. How disappointed
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 in our
midst. 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 it was not
the divine sign, the babe was. Only a
persistent journey will bring us to the
true appearance of God's glory in our
lives: Jesus Christ.

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.

TODO LO QUE BRILLA
Estamos en esos día cuando, una vez
más, el ajetreo y bullicio, el esplendor
y la magia de los días de Navidad han
terminado. Es apropiado que, al entrar en el Tiempo Ordinario, los días
para ser discípulos, veamos exactamente qué necesitamos sacar de
estos días navideños de celebración.
Con la Epifanía es fácil distraerse con
el espectáculo de luminarias celestiales, magos exóticos que viajan en
dromedarios, regalos extravagantes y
fragantes. ¿A quién no le gusta contemplar estos detalles tan coloridos?
Tal vez, al igual que los magos descubrieron la divina presencia del cielo
en un sencillo hogar, nosotros podemos encontrar el significado de la
divina presencia para nuestra vida en
el salmo responsorial de hoy.

Cinco Principios Esenciales Pro-Vida para la Reforma de Cuidados de
la Salud
Leyes de la reforma de cuidados de la salud:
(1) Debe prohibir expresamene, financiamiento y cobertura de seguros para
abortos y no debe dañar ninguna restricción federal o estatal existente de
finaciamiento o cobertura para abortos.
(2) No debe ordenar cobertura de seguro para abortos, medicinas/dispositivos
que inducen el aborto u otras medicinas/dispositivos que pueden terminar
la vida.
3 de enero de 2016
3) Debe proveer amplia protección
por la libertad de consciencia para
individuos, entidades y asociaciones.
Ninguna persona, empleador,
proveedor de cuidados de la salud o
asegurador, debe ser obligado a actuar
en contra de su consciencia.
(4) No debe contener medidas que
manden o alienten la retención, retiro
o reduciones del tratramiento efectivo
para el sostenimiento de vida del
enfermo crónico, del incapacitado o
de otras personas vulnerables.
(5) No deben ponerse restricciones a
la capacidad del estado para promulgar y hacer cumplir la legislación que
protege y afirma la vida Por ejemplo:
los estados deben ser permitidos a
elegir con que proevedores y planes
van a trabajar y determinar como se
va ha usar el dinero y quién es elegible.
