Sunday, January 8, 2017 – Epiphany of the Lord The Epiphany of the Lord brings out a prominent aspect of the Christmas mystery, namely the manifestation (epiphany) of the newborn King.  Saint Paul stresses in his letter to the Ephesians that God manifested Himself in the Lord to all the nations.  The Gentiles are now coheirs, members of Christ’s body and sharers of the divine promise. The Gospel tells us the star that guided the Magi came to rest “above the place where the child was.”  The star had completed its function, but “its spiritual light is ever present in the word of the Gospel, which today too is capable of guiding every person to Jesus.”

el domingo, 08 de enero: Epifanía del Se ñ or La Epifanía del Señor saca un aspecto prominente del misterio de la Navidad, es decir, la manifestación (Epifanía) del rey recién nacido. San Pablo subraya en su carta a los Efesios que Dios se manifestó en el Señor a todas las Naciones. Los Gentiles son coherederos, miembros del cuerpo de Cristo y partícipes de la promesa divina. El Evangelio nos dice que la estrella que guió a los Reyes Magos vinieron a descansar "sobre"el lugar donde estaba el niño. La estrella había terminado su función, pero "su luz espiritual siempre está presente en la palabra del Evangelio, que hoy también es capaz de orientar a cada persona a Jesús."

“And having been warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed for their country by another way.”

Changed by their visit in Bethlehem, and warned to avoid the danger of Herod, the Magi followed another road back home. Has anything this Christmas caused us to change our plans or our behavior in the new year? For our safety, for our health, for our happiness, is the Lord moving us to make a change. "Y habiendo sido advertido en sueños que no volviesen a Herodes, partieron para su país por otro camino.” Cambiado por su visita en Belén y advertido para evitar el peligro de Herodes, los magos siguieron otro camino de vuelta a casa. ¿Hay algo en esta Navidad que nos ha causado a cambiar nuestros planes o nuestra conducta en el nuevo año? ¿Para nuestra seguridad, nuestra salud, para nuestra felicidad, el Señor esta llamandonos para hacer un cambio?

that the world not discard those who are dying. We learn toappreciate more deeply the gift of life when we stand at theside of those who are leaving us. How great should be our respect for those in military service and as first responders who place their lives at risk for our safety and freedom?

Recuerde que cuando profesamos nuestro respeto por la vida, no solo llamamos al mundo para tener un cuidado especial de para bebés desde el momento en de la concepción. Estamos recordando al mundo el amor que crece en nosotros cuando nos atendemos por y compartir amor con los que son incapacitados. También insistimos en que el mundo no se apartarán aquellos que están muriendo. Aprendemos a apreciar más profundamente el regalo de la vida cuando quedamos al lado de los que nos están dejando. ¿Que grande debe ser nuestro respeto para aquellos en el servicio militar y como primeros respondedores que ponen sus vidas en peligro para nuestra seguridad y libertad? Y debemos tomar una mayor responsabilidad por la salud y la curación de toda la vida en este planeta. ORAR POR LOS PEREGRINOS EN CAMINO EL 27 DE ENERO.
