LOOKING IN THE RIGHT PLACES
"Appearances can be deceiving," as the saying goes. As
we celebrate the epiphania, the "appearing" of the eternal
Word of God on earth, this is still true.
What rapturous foresight must have filled Isaiah as he
wrote the words we hear today. How, for four hundred
years, they must have filled the hearts of the people of
Israel with hope for the day when God's glory would
shine on them. How deceived some must have felt when
the glory of God came to them in the lowliest and
humblest of human lives.
We have many expectations about how the divine
presence will appear among us. But we can also set
ourselves up, through these expectations, to miss the
divine glory when it truly appears. We get caught up in
looking for the star, forgetting that the star is not the
divine sign, the babe is. It may take a persistent journey
for us to come upon the true appearance of God's glory in
our lives: Jesus Christ.

Jubilee Year of Mercy
January 3, 2016
The Epiphany of the Lord
In this Jubilee Year of Mercy, Epiphany celebrates
God's mercy shining on the magi from a guiding star.
Their kingdoms were far from Jerusalem, their
religions far from God's covenant with Israel. At first
the star led the magi to Jerusalem, where they could
"recalculate" their quest with the help of God's own
"GPS," the Jewish scriptures. How challenging and
humbling for the magi to discover that they would find
the world's Messiah not in a palace but with a poor
couple in an insignificant village. That's where God's
mercy, shining in the star, led the magi to worship
Jesus, the Prince of Peace. Today the magi invite us to
"recalculate" our life's journey during this Jubilee Year
--to follow the star of God's mercy along the way of
humble love, to discover a renewed personal
relationship with Jesus ourselves and so become
"guiding stars" leading other seekers to find Jesus, too.

BUSCAR EN EL LUGAR CORRECTO
"Las apariencias engañan" dice el refrán. Al celebrar la
epifanía, la manifestación del Verbo de Dios eterno en la
tierra, el refrán sigue siendo cierto.
¡Qué sublime premonición debe haber sentido Isaías al
escribir las palabras que hoy escuchamos! Por cuatrocientos
años, cómo habrán llenado los corazones del pueblo de
Israel con esperanzas de que llegaría el día en que la gloria
de Dios se derramaría sobre ellos. ¡Qué desilusionados
deben haberse sentido algunos cuando la gloria de Dios les
llegó en una vida humana de las más bajas y humildes!
Tenemos muchas expectativas de cómo la presencia divina
va a manifestarse entre nosotros. Pero también podemos
exponernos, por culpa de esas expectativas, a perder de
vista la gloria divina cuando se nos aparece de verdad. Nos
entretenemos buscando la estrella, y nos olvidamos que la
estrella no es la señal divina, sino el bebé. Puede que
tengamos que persistir en el camino antes de llegar a
encontrarnos con la apariencia real de la gloria de Dios en
nuestra vida: Jesucristo.

Año Jubilar de la Misericordia
3 de enero de 2016
La Epifanía del Señor
En este Año Jubilar de la Misericorida, la Epifanía celebra la
misericordia de Dios brillando sobre los reyes magos desde la
estrella que los guía. Sus reinos estaban muy lejos de
Jerusalén, sus religiones muy lejos de la alianza de Dios con
Israel. Al principio la estrella guió a los magos a Jerusalén en
donde ellos podrían "recalcular" su búsqueda con la ayuda del
propio "GPS" de Dios, las Escrituras judías. Que humilde y
consternado debió ser el momento en que los magos vieron al
Mesías del mundo no en un palacio sino con una pareja pobre
en un pueblito insignificante. Ahí es donde está la
misericordia de Dios, brillando en la estrella que guió a los
magos a adorar a Jesús, el Príncipe de la Paz. Hoy los reyes
magos nos invitan a "recalcular" nuestro camino de vida
durante este Año Jubilar, siguiendo la estrella de la
misericordia de Dios a lo largo del camino de amor humilde,
para descubrir una relación personal renovada con Jesús hacia
nosotros mismos para que podamos convertirnos "estrellas
guías" dirigiendo también a otros buscadores a encontrar a
Jesús.

Extraordinary
Jubilee of Mercy
December 8, 2015 –
November 20, 2016
The Jubilee of Mercy is a special time
for the Church in which the faithful
are to become more merciful in our
own lives and bring God’s mercy to
others. When we show mercy to
others, we are serving as witnesses of
the mercy that God constantly
extends to all of us. This is why the
motto for the Jubilee of Mercy is
Merciful like the Father.
At this time, significance should also
be placed on the spiritual journey we
can make within our hearts and at our
own parishes. Mercy can be found in
prayer and unity with our brothers
and sisters and our parish family of
faith.
