Dear parishioners and friends:

THE GIFTS OF THE MAGI

We continue the celebration of the Christmas Season this week with the great Feast of the Epiphany of the Lord. Today we proclaim once again from the Gospel of Matthew and hear how magi from the east followed the star seeking the “newborn king of the Jews.” (Matt 2:1). The magi carried gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Tradition tells us that the gift of gold is symbolic of Jesus’ kingship. Frankincense was used in temple worship and thus is symbolic of Jesus’ divinity. Lastly, myrrh was used in burials and is symbolic of Jesus’ humanity. What gift can you give to the Lord this year? That is a good question for all of us to ponder this week. The best gift you can give to the Lord is the gift of yourself. To open your heart and to receive His mercy and love, and to allow that encounter to change you. To encounter Jesus and to share the joy of the Gospel with others in your life. To become, as Pope Francis says, ‘Missionary Disciples,’ which are words you will a lot this year at the parish. Our Lord is not seeking gold, frankincense or myrrh from you. He wants you to know how much He loves you and that He extends to you His mercy and compassion. I pray that like the Magi, you continue to follow the star and that you give to the Christ Child a gift no one else can give: yourself. God Bless you and your family, Father Vince

Queridos feligreses y amigos:

LOS REGALOS DE LOS MAGOS

Continuamos la celebración de la temporada de Navidad esta semana con la gran Fiesta de la Epifanía del Señor. Hoy proclamamos una vez más del Evangelio de Mateo y escuchamos cómo los magos del este siguieron a la estrella que buscaba al "recién nacido rey de los judíos" (Mateo 2: 1). Los magos llevaban regalos de oro, incienso y mirra. La tradición nos dice que el regalo de oro es un símbolo de la realeza de Jesús. El incienso se usaba en la adoración del templo y, por lo tanto, es un símbolo de la divinidad de Jesús. Por último, la mirra fue utilizada en entierros y es un símbolo de la humanidad de Jesús. ¿Qué regalo le puedes dar al Señor este año? Esa es una buena pregunta para todos nosotros para reflexionar en esta semana. El mejor regalo que le puedes dar al Señor es el regalo de ti mismo. Abrir tu corazón y recibir Su misericordia y amor, y permitir que ese encuentro nos cambie. Encontrar a Jesús y compartir la alegría del Evangelio con otros en nuestras vidas. Llegar a ser, como dice el Papa Francisco, 'Discípulos Misioneros', que son palabras que harán mucho este año en la parroquia. Nuestro Señor no está buscando oro, incienso o mirra de nosotros. Él quiere que sepamos cuánto nos ama y que Él nos extiende su misericordia y compasión. Oro para que, al igual que los Reyes Magos, continúes siguiendo a la estrella y le demos al Niño Jesús un regalo que nadie más puede dar: a ti mismo.

Dios te bendiga a ti y a tu familia, Padre Vicente

Stewardship Prayer

“..they fell down and worshipped him. Then they

opened their treasures and offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh...” - Matthew 2:11

Notice the order of events in the Magi’s visit. First, they knelt before Jesus and prayed to Him. Then they presented Him with their gifts. We, too, as Christian

Stewards must take time to pray before we present our gifts to the Lord. We never know what God may be

asking us to share!
