JANUARY 08, 2017

REFLECTION Today the Church celebrates the Solemnity of the Epiphany. "The Lord and ruler is coming; kingship is His, and government and power." With these words the Church proclaims that today's feast brings to a perfect fulfillment all the purposes of Advent. Epiphany means manifestation. What the Church celebrates today is the manifestation of our Lord to the whole world; after being made known to the shepherds of Bethlehem He is revealed to the Magi who have come from the East to adore Him. Christian tradition has ever seen in the Magi the first fruits of the Gentiles; they lead in their wake all the peoples of the earth, and thus the Epiphany is an affirmation of universal redemption. St. Leo brings out this point admirably in a sermon, read at Matins, in which he shows in the adoration of the Magi the beginnings of Christian faith, the time when the great mass of the heathen sets off to follow the star which summons it to seek its Savior. That is the meaning, too, of the wonderful prophecy from Isaiah which the liturgy appoints to be read in the first nocturn at Matins and at the Epistle of the Mass. This same thought of universal redemption the Church returns to as she sings in the antiphon to the Magnificat at 2nd Vespers, applying the words to herself of the union with Christ typified by the wedding feast at Cana, and by the baptism of her children foreshadowed by that of Christ in the waters of the Jordan. Formerly the Epiphany was an additional day for solemn baptisms. ============ Hoy la Iglesia celebra la Solemnidad de la Epifanía. "El Señor y el gobernante está viniendo, la realeza es suya, y Gobierno y poder." Con estas palabras, la Iglesia proclama que la fiesta de hoy trae a un cumplimiento perfecto todos los propósitos del Adviento. Epifanía significa manifestación. Lo que la Iglesia celebra hoy es la manifestación de nuestro Señor al mundo entero; Después de ser dado a conocer a los pastores de Belén, se revela a los Magos que han venido de Oriente para adorarlo. La tradición cristiana ha visto en los Reyes Magos las primicias de los gentiles; Llevan en su estela a todos los pueblos de la tierra, y así la Epifanía es una afirmación de la salvación universal. San Leo saca este punto Admirablemente en un sermón, leído en Matins, en el que muestra en la adoración de los Reyes Magos los comienzos de la fe cristiana, el momento en que la gran masa de los paganos sale a seguir a la estrella que lo convoca a buscar a su Salvador. Ese es también el significado de la maravillosa profecía de Isaías que la liturgia designa para ser leída en el primer nocturno en Matines y en la Epístola de la Misa. Este mismo pensamiento de redención universal, la Iglesia vuelve a como ella canta, en la Antífona al Magníficat en las 2 ª Vísperas, aplicando las palabras a sí misma, de la unión con Cristo tipificada por la fiesta de la boda en Caná, por el bautismo de sus hijos prefigurado por el de Cristo en las aguas del Jordán. Anteriormente, la Epifanía era un día adicional para los bautismos solemnes.

BAPTISM OF THE LORD REFLECTION Thoughts for Your Consideration John baptizes Jesus. What is happening? What is being revealed for us today? It is more than a religious ritual of some sort to get something out of God. It is more than something done out of an obligation. If we look with faith, we can see many things. 1) As the voice of God proclaims Jesus to be the “Beloved,” we can hear God affirming that same wonderful reality to all of us human creatures. There is a wonderful dignity in every human person. This dignity is at the heart of Catholic social teaching. Every human person is beloved to God. We are all sisters and brothers, made in the image and likeness of God. 2) In Baptism, we see the welcoming of someone into the community and a celebration of solidarity among the various members. Jesus is in solidarity with all the others who have come forward for baptism. This solidarity is expressed in our working together for justice. In our baptism we are renewed by the washing away of original sin, and are able us to face the challenges of our world. Jesus fulfills what was promised by Isaiah. Jesus brings justice to the nations. The images of Isaiah have social and political implications for our life today. 3) We see a commitment to shared values and a way of living. As Isaiah prophesizes in the first reading, this Spirit of Jesus is a spirit of nonviolence, not even “breaking a bruised reed.” We see in the baptism of Jesus a challenge to review our values and way of living, and to recommit ourselves to a radical love for one another, especially for the poor. 4) The message of Scripture is for all the nations. This is affirmed in each of the first two readings. “I have called you for the victory of justice… a light for the nations,” Isaiah writes. “I see,” we read in Acts, “that God shows no partiality. Rather, in every nation whoever fears him and acts uprightly is acceptable to him.” We are called into a community working together for justice and peace. It is time to end the discrimination and ethnic violence. It is time to be brothers and sisters. 5) The challenge of Scripture is to make real today the promises of Isaiah and the commitment of Jesus. The challenge is to put our baptism into practice. We are called into action for and with all our brothers and sisters.

REFLECTION Epiphany: A Fourfold Feast Epiphany originally celebrated four different events, in the following order of importance: the Baptism of the Lord; Christ's first miracle, the changing of water into wine at the wedding in Cana; the Nativity of Christ; and the visitation of the Wise Men or Magi. Each of these is a revelation of God to man: At Christ's Baptism, the Holy Spirit descends and the Voice of God the Father is heard, declaring that Jesus is His Son; at the wedding in Cana, the miracle reveals Christ's divinity; at the Nativity, the angels bear witness to Christ, and the shepherds, representing the people of Israel, bow down before Him; and at the visitation of the Magi, Christ's divinity is revealed to the Gentiles—the other nations of the earth.

Epifanía: Un Cuarto Festín Epifanía originalmente celebró cuatro eventos diferentes, en el siguiente orden de importancia: el Bautismo del Señor; El primer milagro de Cristo, el cambio de agua en vino en la boda de Caná; La Natividad de Cristo; y la visitación de los Reyes Magos. Cada uno de ellos es una revelación de Dios al hombre: En el bautismo de Cristo, el Espíritu Santo desciende y se oye la voz de Dios Padre, declarando que Jesús es su Hijo; En la boda de Caná, el milagro revela la divinidad de Cristo; En la Natividad, los ángeles dan testimonio de Cristo, y los pastores, que representan al pueblo de Israel, se postran ante Él; Y en la visitación de los Magos, la divinidad de Cristo es revelada a los gentiles, las otras naciones de la tierra.

“And this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also—not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God. It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ.” 1 Pt.3:21
