THE LIGHT OF FAITH
The first reading today is charged with the glory of the
Lord. Everyone who can come to the holy city does come—
whole caravans of people of all ages on foot and on dromedaries and camels.
This description of an irresistible light filled city prepares us for the story of the magi. They are guided by their
own lights—their study of astronomy and astrology—and
by the light of a peculiar star. Their study tells them that an
unusual event in the heavens is a sign of an extraordinary
birth on earth. They mean to find out about this, and they
set out with gifts worthy of a king. They are welcomed into
an insignificant house in Bethlehem, offer gifts befitting a
king, and receive the gift of faith.
Paul reinforces the great gift of faith
available to the Gentiles, whom the magi
represent. What they have seen has changed
them, just as it changed Paul and all who
heeded his proclamation. Like the magi and
like Paul, we are invited to receive this life
that is filled with the light of faith.

LA LUZ DE LA FE
La primera lectura de hoy nos trae la gloria del Señor
que tiene tanta fuerza y pureza que puede inundar a
Jerusalén. La lectura es tan gloriosa que los corazones
palpitan y rebozan de júbilo. Todos aquellos que pueden
venir a Tierra Santa vienen, caravanas repletas de gente a
pie y en camellos y otros dromedarios.
Esta descripción de una ciudad tan llena de una luz
irresistible nos prepara para la historia de los magos. Van
guiados por sus propias luces –su estudio de astronomía y
astrología– y por la luz de una estrella peculiar. Su estudio
les dice que un fenómeno extraordinario en el cielo es señal
de un nacimiento extraordinario en la tierra. Determinan
averiguar lo acontecido y salen con regalos dignos de un
rey. Son bienvenidos a una casita insignificante en
Belén, ofrecen regalos dignos de un rey, y reciben el
regalo de la fe.
Pablo destaca el gran regalo de la fe disponible a los
gentiles, representados en los magos. Lo que vieron y
creyeron los ha cambiado, igual que cambió a Pablo y a
todos los que escuchan su proclamación. Igual que los
magos, y que Pablo, estamos invitados a recibir esta
vida que está llena de la luz de la fe. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Our parish has become so large, the only way we
have of verifying Mass attendance is by use of
Sunday envelopes. (This is significant when
requiring services from the church i.e., baptism or
marriage.)
