THE EPIPHANY OF THE LORD
January 3, 2016
Dear Friends in St. Dominic.
Queridos amigos en San Dominic,
There is one thing that every human heart is absolutely
starving for: someone to trust. Someone who not
only will promise to never let you down, never judge
you, never abandon you, but someone with enough
goodness and enough power to keep that promise.
Every one of us needs someone we can lean on
no matter what, someone we can go to no matter
what, someone who will be glad to see us no matter
what - someone who is utterly, totally, unhesitatingly,
faithful. That someone is God.
Hay una cosa que cada corazón humano está
absolutamente muerto de hambre para: alguien en
quien confiar. Alguien que no sólo va a prometer que
nunca le fallará, nunca te juzgará, nunca te abandonará,
pero alguien con la suficiente bondad y el poder
suficiente para mantener esa promesa. Cada uno de
nosotros necesita a alguien que podemos apoyarnos en
lo que no importa , alguien que podemos contar ir a lo
que sea, alguien que estará encantado de vernos, no
importa lo que - alguien que es totalmente, sin vacilar,
fiel. Ese alguien es Dios.
The coming of the Wise Men to adore the baby Jesus
is one of the Bible's most beautiful proofs of God's
faithfulness. More than 500 years before Christ's
birth, God had promised, through his prophet Isaiah,
that he was going to lead all the nations to Jerusalem
to share in the light of salvation. He even promised
that they would bring gold and incense.
In the Book of Psalms he had made the same promise
in different words the kings of Tarshish and the coasts
will pay him tribute; the kings of Sheba and Seba
shall bring him gifts. In spite of 500 years of wars,
migrations, and historical turbulence that re-wrote the
map of the civilized world three different times, God
did what he said he was going to do. The Wise Men
came from the non-Jewish world; they represent the
nations. By coming to Christ, they enter into the light
of salvation bringing gifts. This shows us that God is
good - because he kept his promise. It also shows us
that God is all-powerful - the ups and downs of history
are under his control. And this is our God - the same
one we come to worship today, who will give himself
to us today in the Eucharist. All of God's goodness
and power are ours, because we belong to Christ, and
Christ is the incarnation of
God's faithfulness
Sincerely yours in Christ
Rev. Roger Estorque
La venida de los Reyes Magos a adorar al niño Jesús
es una de las más bellas pruebas de la Biblia de la
fidelidad de Dios. Más de 500 años antes del
nacimiento de Cristo, Dios había prometido, a través
de su profeta Isaías, que iba a dar lugar a todas las
naciones a Jerusalén para compartir la luz de la
salvación. Incluso prometió que iban a traer el oro
y el incienso.
En el Libro de los Salmos que había hecho la misma
promesa en diferentes palabras, los reyes de Tarsis y de
las costas le paguen tributo; los reyes de Shebá y de Seba
le traerán regalos. A pesar de 500 años de guerras,
migraciones, y la turbulencia histórica que re-escribió
el mapa de los civilizados del mundo en tres ocasiones
diferentes, Dios hizo lo que dijo que iba a hacer. Los
Reyes Magos vinieron del mundo no judío; que
representan las naciones. Al venir a Cristo, que entran
en la luz de la salvación que trae los regalos. Esto
nos muestra que Dios es bueno - porque él cumplió
su promesa. También nos muestra que Dios es
todopoderoso - los altibajos de la historia están bajo
su control. Y éste es nuestro Dios - el mismo que
venimos a la adoración de hoy, quien se dará a nosotros
hoy en la Eucaristía. Todo de la
bondad y el poder de Dios son
nuestras, porque pertenecemos a
Cristo, y Cristo es la encarnación
de la fidelidad de Dios
Atentamente suyo en Cristo

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.
THE EPIPHANY OF THE LORD
January 3, 2016
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
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
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.
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.
