Solemnity of the
Epiphany of the Lord
March for Life
42nd March for Life
Washington, D.C.
Thursday, January 22, 2015
“Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you, and before you were born, I consecrated you” Jeremiah 1:4-5
Every human life that is conceived is a miracle and a gift from God. How heartbreaking that thousands of
these little miracles of God are being destroyed every day.
Since abortion was made legal in 1973, over 54 million pre-born babies have been violently destroyed. They
have been denied the most basic of all rights, the right to life. Our Declaration of Independence calls this an
unalienable right.
How many is 54 million? Take the populations of Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, West Virginia, Iowa,
North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Louisiana, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Arizona and
Idaho. That totals 53,789,702. Can you imagine all of these states without one person in them?
On Thursday, January 22nd, Americans will once again gather on the Washington Mall. As President Bush
stated in his address to the sea of people participating in the January 22, 2001 March for Life, “We share a
great goal: to work toward a day when every child is welcomed in life and protected in law. We know this will
not come easily, or all at once. But the goal leads us onward: to build a culture of life, affirming that every person, at every stage and season of life, is created equal in God’s image. The promises of our Declaration of Independence are not just for the strong, the independent, or the healthy. They are for everyone – including unborn children.”
Join the ranks of thousands as we march to our nation’s Capitol to proclaim that “LIFE IS PRECIOUS AND
WORTH DEFENDING.” If you are interested in going to Washington D.C. to participate in the March for
Life, please fill out the tear-off below and bring to the Rectory Office. You will be contacted with bus departure and return information. If you have any questions, please call Diane Knausman at 516 528-8033.
Thank you and God bless you!

From the Pastor’s Desk
“…behold Magi from the east arrived in
Jerusalem. Saying, ‘Where is the newborn
king of the Jews? We saw his star at it’s
rising and have come to do him homage.’”
“They were amazed at seeing the star, and
entering the house, they saw the child with
Mary his mother…and did him homage.”
Today’s celebration of the Epiphany of
the Lord (also known as Little Christmas)
reminds us that even as an infant, Christ
was made manifest to the whole world, as
signified by this visit from these gentile noblemen. Just imagine how excited they
were, as their long journey came to an end.
A journey which began at the sighting of
such a wonderful, strange star that moved
through the night from the east to west.
This wonderful occurrence in the universe
was understood by the Magi as a sign of
something wonderful happening here on
earth. Imagine their confusion when the
star they were following disappeared as
they approached Jerusalem; the place they
believed would be their destination. Think
of how taken back they were to not find him
in the palace, but in a humble house; a stable as Luke tells us in his Christmas account. Here is where they found not just the
newborn King of the Jews, but also the King
of Kings. Many would have said, well we
are in the wrong place, let’s go! But keep in
mind, these were scholars not just of the
sky, but of the religious traditions of all the
peoples in the area. They knew the promises given through the Prophets of Israel,
they knew that a Messiah was expected, and
they knew that God works in His own way.
So instead of turning around, they dropped
to their knees, paid Him great homage, and
placed before Him gifts fitting a king. The
Magi totally understood what God had done,
how God would make His Messiah manifest
not in a palace, but in a simple modest
place, so that all could benefit from His mission on earth. They may not have known
that Jesus was God made one of us, but
they did know the He was certainly one sent
by God to make all things new.
Today also reminds us that God can be
seen in so many ways in our lives, all we
have to do is be open and look carefully.
We must be like the magi who did not reject
what they saw at Bethlehem, but embrace
what God has shown each of us in our lives.
If you are not sure what He has shown
you, than take time to think, and ask God to
show you again, and stop looking for God to
act only in grand and miraculous ways. Remember God also works in little ways and in
ways you least expect.
At the end of this month, we will celebrate
Catholic Schools’ Week, and it promises to
be a great week. We will have Open House
hours where you can come and tour the
school and see all the good things that St.
Edward’s School has to offer your children,
grandchildren, cousins, and neighbors’
kids. During this week you can meet with
our principal Mr. Vincent Albrecht, and
many of our teachers. A Catholic Education
provides your child with all they need to
know about this world, and with all they
need to know about the world to come. It
provides them with all the tools they need to
change the world, and to do their part in
building up the church and the Kingdom of
God. Please feel free to call the school at
(516) 921-7767; you will be happy you did.
Let us pray:
O God, who on this day revealed your only
Begotten Son to the nations by the guidance of a star, grant in your mercy that we,
who know you already by faith, may be
brought to behold the beauty of your sublime glory. Through our Lord Jesus Christ
your Son, who lives and reigns with you in
the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God forever
and ever.
Amen.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Gospel Glimpses
January 4, 2015
Matthew 2:1-12
"They fell down and worshiped Jesus"
The Altar Bread & Wine
For the week of January 4, 2015 – January 10, 2015
is Given in Loving Memory of:
If Jesus truly is who he claims to be, the eternal Son of God
and Savior of the world, then why is he not recognized by everyone who hears his word and sees his works? John the Evangelist states that when Jesus came into the world the world
knew him not and his own people received him not (John 1:1011). Jesus was born in obscurity. Only the lowly shepherds
recognized him at his birth. Some wise men also found their
way to Bethlehem to pay homage to the newborn King of Israel. These men were not Israelites, but foreigners. They likely
had read and discussed the Messianic prophecies and were
anxious to see when this Messianic King would appear. God
led them by means of an extraordinary star across the desert
to the little town of Bethlehem where Jesus was born. John
Chrysostom (347-407), in his homily on this passage from
Matthew 2, explains the significance of the star of Bethlehem:
"Note how fitting was the order of events: the wise men saw
the star, were received by the Jews and their king; they heard
prophecy to explain what had appeared; the angel instructed
them; and then they journeyed from Jerusalem to Bethlehem
by the guidance of the star. From all this we learn that this
was not an ordinary star, for no other star has this capacity to
guide, not merely to move but to beckon, to “go before them,”
drawing and guiding them along their way. The star remained
after bringing them to the place, in order that the child might
also be seen. For there is nothing conspicuous about the place.
The inn was ordinary. The mother was not celebrated or notable. The star was needed to manifest and illumine the lowly
place, until they had reached their destination at the manger." [The Gospel of Matthew, Homily 7:3] In their thirst for
knowledge of God, the wise men from the East willingly left
everything, their home and country, in pursuit of that quest.
In their diligent search they were led to the source of true
knowledge - to Jesus Christ, the Light and Wisdom of God.
When they found the newborn King they humbly worshiped
him and gave him gifts fitting for a king.

Christian joy is borne out of nearness to Christ,
said Pope Francis during his Angelus address for
the third Sunday of Advent,
adding that “gloomy-faced” saints are a
contradiction.
