MIDWEEK REFRESHER
READ: Matthew 2: 1-12
REFLECT: The Christmas Season continues with yet another view of God in our history. In his very flesh, Jesus is
the revelation of God. This is a season to celebrate a baby, but even more the manifestation, "epiphany," of God to
the whole world. The gospel warms many hearts with the
story of the three visitors to Bethlehem. Following the
star, they come to offer gifts of gold, frankincense and
myrrh. Aided by the first two readings, we can open up
the meaning of this vignette. God is present in our history. This is a gift for all. Whether arriving on dromedaries
from Midian and Ephah or bearing gold and frankincense
from Sheba, whole nations shall walk by this light. In the
early Church, this meant that Gentiles would have to be
seen as co-heirs with the Jews, members of the same
body. Enjoying the memories and mystery of this day
should thus be more than thinking about the three
kings. It is also far more important than any technical debate about the translation of "magi" (Greek). They have
been called kings, wise men or astrologers. In any event
they signal a day to celebrate God's manifestation in
Christ Jesus. When we celebrate Epiphany we face the
mystery of Christ's identity and our response in faith. Because this revelation is universal, we are presented with a
further challenge. Do we treat some as "outsiders" as if
we were not co-heirs? Do we act as if epiphany were for a
few?
Let Us Pray for the Deceased of our Parish:
Roy T. MacDonald
Rev. Maurice P. Meade, Jr., Rev. Joseph R. Palmisano, SJ
Let Us Pray that our men and women in the service
might be safe in the days and weeks ahead. Especially
those connected to our Parish as well as those unknown
to us: Mark Baldacchino, Melissa Lynn Beaton, Olavio
PRAY: Pray for a wideness of heart
Bisneto, Christopher Brienza, Joseph Dang, Jason
Doucette, Michael Doucette, Matthew Evans, John Fitzgerald, John Fitzpatrick, III, Paul Garrity, Chris Grace, Andrew
McGlinchey, John O’Rourke, Matthew Pothier, Christina
Racca, Brian Ramunno, Stephen Ramunno, Jonathan
Rawcliffe, Alex Recupero as well as those unknown to us.
ACT: Welcome all!
We ask that you remember all those that have given so
much for us: The Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and
Coast Guard. Please bless them and their families.

for the selfless acts they perform for us in our time

weather extremes. We pray also that you will give
each leader wisdom. Lead them not into temptation
but deliver them from evil. Please heal the broken
hearted and encourage the down cast. Please
bring this war to a quick resolve. Ask this in the
name of Jesus, Our Lord. Amen.
