The Epiphany of the Lord
January 5, 2014
They open their treasures and offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
PASTOR’S REFLECTION —
This season is so full of magnificent feasts commemorating such powerful moment of
faith. One after another, our
celebrations have shown us
the great love of our God for
us. – The Birth of Our Lord;
the Holy Family, Mary the Mother of God, and today
the Epiphany. All of these great feasts have offered
us an opportunity to reflect more deeply and with a
renewed faith how much God loves us and the
world.
Today’s feast is one more in the long line of celebrations
of
faith.
Epiphany
literally
means:
“manifestation” or “to show.” And this show is surrounded by Light. We see a star and are led to a
humble place where the newborn king of the Jews
lives. Although it is a star, shining brightly and boldly
in a world filled with darkness and suspicion, the real
“Light” is the baby – the newborn life sheltered in a
stable and lovingly protected by Mary and Joseph.
This Child is the Light that will show us the way
through the darkness – away from sin and death
into new life. He shows us the way to heaven. He
shows us the way to His Father.
The “show” then is not a Broadway play or a movie.
Rather it is the revelation of the Son of God as our
Savior and Lord. More than a show – more than acting out some drama, Jesus is the star; He is the
stage; He is the Light!
On this Feast of the Epiphany, let’s be like those
Wise Men and see Jesus as the One who brings
Light into the world. But let’s go farther – let’s not just
see Jesus, but let’s share Jesus so His Light will
light up our world in faith and hope.

God? Feeling stressed? “Come

said. Join us on a 3-day Centering Prayer Retreat at St. Anthony’s Retreat Center located in Three Rivers, California.

Catholics are obliged to be married in the Church before a Catholic Ordained Minister (Deacon/Priest) and two witnesses. In these hectic times
in which we live, many couples, for reasons known only to them, fail to
get married in the Catholic Church.
What can they do about it?
They may have their marriage validated (sometimes called blessed) in the
Catholic Church! Please call the Parish Office at 734-9522, to make an
appointment to see a priest. The marriage can be validated (blessed) in a
simple, private ceremony in the Catholic Church (the six-month waiting period
would usually not apply to marriage validations). If you have had a prior
marriage, the process may be somewhat longer, but we will be happy to
assist you through it.

LA EPIFANIA DEL SENOR
5 DE ENERO DE 2013
Abriendo sus cofres, le ofrecieron regalos: oro, incienso y mirra. Mateo 2:11b
REFLEXIÓN DEL PASTOREsta temporada está llena de magníficas fiestas que
conmemoran tan poderoso momento en la fe. Una
tras otra, las celebraciones nos han mostrado el gran
amor de nuestro Dios para nosotros. El Nacimiento
de Nuestro Señor, la Sagrada Familia, María, la Madre de Dios, y hoy en día la Epifanía. Todas estas
grandes fiestas nos han ofrecido la oportunidad de
reflexionar más profundamente con una fe renovada
cuánto Dios nos ama a nosotros y al mundo.
La fiesta de hoy es una más en la larga lista de las
celebraciones de la fe. Epifanía significa literalmente:
"manifestación" o "Mostrar" Y este espectáculo está
rodeado de luz. Vemos una estrella y somos llevados
a un lugar humilde en el que el recién nacido rey de
los judíos vive. A pesar de que es solo una estrella
brillando con valentía en un mundo lleno de oscuridad y sospecha, la "Luz " de verdad es el bebé, la
vida del recién nacido al abrigo de un establo y
amorosamente protegido por María y José. Este niño
es la Luz que nos mostrará el camino a través de la
oscuridad, lejos del pecado y de la muerte hacia una
vida nueva. Él nos muestra el camino hacia el cielo .
Él nos muestra el camino a su Padre.
El "show" entonces, no es una obra de teatro de
Broadway o una película. Más bien es la revelación
del Hijo de Dios como nuestro Salvador y Señor.
Más que un espectáculo, más que actuar un poco de
drama ¡Jesús es la estrella; Él es el escenario; Él es la
Luz!
En esta Fiesta de la Epifanía del Señor, vamos a ser
como esos hombres sabios que veían a Jesús como
a aquel que trae la luz al mundo. Pero vayamos más
lejos, vamos a ver no sólo a Jesús, sino que vamos a
compartir a Jesús para que su luz ilumine nuestro
mundo en la fe y la esperanza.
Renueve Su Romance
¡Si usted y su cónyuge desean un fin
de semana de renovación espiritual,
tienen que venir a un retiro del fin de semana del Encuentro Matrimonial! Usted crecerá en su relación con su
cónyuge, con los demás y con Dios. Inmediatamente
notará una gran diferencia en su vida. El próximo retiro
es:
17, 18,y 19 de Enero 2014

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
Es Ɵempo 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 conƟnente
americano en donde se convierƟó en la decoración principal
para las fiestas navideñas. Así como en todo país laƟnoamericano el montaje del Belén es una tradición, lo es
también en Venezuela. Con el pesebre venezolano llegan
también aguinaldos, parrandas, Misas y paƟnes.
¡Sí! ¡PaƟnes!
Desde la mitad del siglo pasado los venezolanos celebrant
la época navideña con “paƟnadas”. Estas “paƟnadas”
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 paƟnes, bicicletas y otros
juguetes que les regala el niño Dios. Por esto, 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 paƟnado.

LA PALABRA DE DIOS HOY
Hoy la celebración de la Epifanía del Señor nos sirve como recordatorio del verdadero significado de la liturgia. La historia de la visita de
los magos de oriente ha sido representada en el arte cristiano a
través de los siglos. Hemos inventado nombres para estos tres misteriosos personajes. Le hemos asignado raza y origen étnico a cada
uno de ellos. Algunas tradiciones aseguran que eran hasta doce magos. La única evidencia que tenemos de estos magos nos viene de
uno de los Evangelios, el relato de Mateo que escuchamos hoy. La
liturgia de la Iglesia nos pide que vayamos más allá de las palabras y
las tradiciones que han ido circunscribiendo la historia. La liturgia de
hoy no es un recuerdo sentimental de acontecimientos pasados. Lo
central en esta celebración es el hecho de que Jesús se manifiesta a
todos los pueblos. Esto es lo que celebra la Epifanía. Hoy el Señor
Jesús se te manifiesta a ti y a tu comunidad de fe, y en realidad se
manifiesta hasta los confines de la tierra. ¿Cómo se manifiesta el
Señor en nuestras celebraciones litúrgicas de hoy día? Nosotros
creemos que Cristo se hace presente en la palabra y el sacramento,
aquí mismo y ahora mismo. Éste es el milagro de la Epifanía, que
ocurre cada vez que nos reunimos para alabar a Dios. Si pasamos
por alto todo el colorido folclórico que se ha ido desarrollando acerca
de esta historia en el Evangelio, podremos enfocarnos mejor en cómo
el Señor se nos manifiesta hoy. Acepta el desafío de la Epifanía y
encuentra maneras de compartir a Cristo con los demás y crear así
un círculo interminable de epifanías.
