El desarrollo del relato de la Encarnación continúa hoy cuando la Iglesia celebra la Epifanía. La historia de los Magos de oriente es uno de los relatos más fascinantes de las Escrituras. Nos enseña mucho sobre qué

podemos esperar, incluso en circunstancias y lugares que pueden parecer insignificantes. Belén era un pueblo diminuto, lo que hoy diríamos un pueblo sin siquiera un semáforo. Sin embargo, es sobre este lugar aparentemente insignificante que la estrella guía se detuvo en su búsqueda del lugar en donde el Salvador nacería. Muchas veces no comprendemos que la estrella de Belén se posa en nuestra vida diaria, donde podemos sentir la presencia de Dios, manifestada de maneras diversas y nuevas. La Epifanía nos llama a salir de nuestro estupor y a reconocer a Aquél que viene a salvarnos.

The Epiphany of the Lord / La Epifanía del Señor January 08, 2017 / 08 de Enero 2017

The unfolding of the story of the Incar-nation continues today as the Church celebrates the Epiphany. The tale of the magi from the East is one of the most fascinating in all of scripture. It has

much to teach us about what we can come to expect, even in circumstances and places that may seem insignificant or small. Bethlehem was a tiny town, what we might refer to today as a town without even one stop light. Yet it is over this seemingly insignificant place that the guiding star stops in its own search for the place where the Sav-ior would be born. Too often we fail to recognize the fact that the star of Bethle-hem comes to rest in our everyday lives, where we can expe-rience God’s presence, manifested in ever new ways. Epiph-any calls us to shake off our stupor and recognize the One who comes to save us.

KINGLY GIFTS The church’s name for this day, Epiphany, means “to re-veal” or “make visible.” The child Jesus is honored not by his own people, but by wise men, strangers from afar. On-ly Matthew’s Gospel tells the story, and pious legends have added details over the centuries. The Jews hoped for a Messiah, God’s Anointed One, to deliver them from sin and from their enemies. Yet here, God’s Son is revealed to Gentiles, people like us who are seeking a Savior. We ex-pected Jesus in Advent; we celebrated his birth at Christmas. In this new year what gifts will we give him in return? Resolutions often include a decision to work off the extra weight gained from too much celebrating. All well and good, but why not do something extra for those you love and for your community? Show the love of God that is in your heart, or as Saint Francis of Assisi is thought to have said, “Preach the gospel at all times. When necessary, use words.”

REGALOS REALES El nombre que la Iglesia le da a este día, Epifanía, significa “revelación” o “hacer visible”. Al Niño Jesús no lo honró su propia gente, sino unos magos extranjeros que venían de tier-ras lejanas. Sólo el Evangelio de san Mateo nos cuenta la his-toria y las piadosas leyendas han añadido detalles en el correr de los siglos. Los judíos esperaban a un Mesías, el Ungido de Dios, para que los librara del pecado y de sus enemigos. No obstante, vemos en este relato que Dios se revela a los paganos, per-sonas como nosotros que buscan un Salva-dor. Estuvimos esperando a Jesús durante el Adviento, celebramos su nacimiento en la Navidad, y en este año nuevo, ¿con qué regalos le corresponderemos? Las resolu-ciones incluyen a menudo hacer ejercicio físico para perder esas libras que ganamos con tanta celebración. Muy santo y muy bueno pero, ¿por qué no hacer algo extra por esas personas que amas y por tu co-munidad? Demuestra el amor de Dios que mueve tu corazón o, como dicen que dijo san Francisco de Asís: “Predica el evangelio siempre y, cuando sea necesario, usa las palabras”. LIVING STEWWARDSHIP NOW

Kingly gifts . . . For God: Love God, receive the sacraments, pray, study God's word. For the Church: Serve in a parish ministry, contribute to the offertory, support the missions.

LA CORRESPONSABILIDAD VIVIDA AHORA Regalos reales. . . Para Dios: Ama a Dios, recibe los sacramentos, ora, estudia la palabra de Dios. Para la Iglesia: Sirve en algún ministerio parroquial, con-tribuye al ofertorio, mantén las misiones. Para la comunidad: Recicla, conserva los recursos naturales, ejerce tu derecho al voto. Para la familia y amistades: Dedícale tiempo a los niños, man-tén tu apertura, relájense juntos.
