(Carta en español en la página 5) “Wise Humility ” By Fr. Mark Haydu, LC
An amazing thing happens in today’s Gospel: Representatives from the farthest ends of the earth
follow a heavenly light and end in a humble cave in Bethlehem. The Wise Men first consult with
King Herod, Galilee’s civil authority. He checks with the high priest and rabbis to determine when
and where the Messiah is to be born. The Jewish leadership is able to read the Scriptures and give
Herod and the Wise Men all the information they need. Yet only the Eastern travelers go to adore
the Lord.
The priest and lawyers lack faith to see in those Scriptures a fulfillment of their hopes, while King
Herod is blinded to Christ’s salvific mission and moved by a will to power, as the killing of the
Innocents will make clear. They all have ears to hear and eyes to see but few pay heed to the signs
of the times.
The Wise Men from the East, merely following their study of the stars and asking help from
others, travel months in search of Jesus. Raphael’s painting Adoration of the Magi shows the
moment when they finally find what they have been looking for. The band of travelers—
complete with horses, guards, and royalty—arrives at a broken-down stall. One of the Wise Men
kneels, removes his crown, and offers Jesus his treasure. This small gesture shows an internal
attitude that Herod and the chief priests were missing: the humility to lay aside power, wealth,
and status to bend the knee before the king born in their midst.
The priests, lawyers, and King Herod all have ears to hear and eyes to see,
but few pay heed.
Parishioners are invited to get involved in our parish in many ways. Listed are some of the opportunities that you may find personally and spiritually rewarding.

Other opportunities in the parish:
• Altar servers are needed for all Masses.
• Musicians, especially for English Mass.
• Person to assist with photography and video.
• Person to assist with PowerPoint and A/V.

“Humildad Sabia” Por P. Mark Haydu, LC
Una cosa asombrosa sucede en el Evangelio de hoy: Representantes de los extremos más lejanos
de la tierra siguen una luz celestial y terminan en la humilde cueva de Belén. Los Reyes Magos
primero consultan con el rey Herodes, la autoridad civil de Galilea. Él comprueba con el sumo
sacerdote y los rabinos para determinar cuándo y dónde va a nacer el Mesías. El liderazgo judío es
capaz de leer las Escrituras y dar a Herodes y a los Reyes Magos toda la información que
necesitan. Sin embargo, sólo los viajeros del Este van a adorar al Señor. El sacerdote y los
abogados carecen de fe para ver en esas Escrituras un cumplimiento de sus esperanzas, mientras
que el rey Herodes está cegado a la misión salvífica de Cristo y movido por una voluntad de poder,
como lo hará claro el asesinato de los Inocentes. Todos tienen oídos para oír y ojos para ver, pero
pocos prestan atención a las señales de los tiempos.
Los Reyes Magos de Oriente, simplemente siguiendo su estudio de las estrellas y pidiendo ayuda a
otros, viajan meses en busca de Jesús. Rafael muestra el momento en que finalmente encuentran
lo que han estado buscando. La banda de viajeros—completa con caballos, guardias y realeza—
llega a un establo roto. Uno de los Reyes Magos se arrodilla, quita su corona, y ofrece a Jesús su
tesoro. Este pequeño gesto muestra una actitud interna que le falta a Herodes y los sacerdotes: la
humildad de dejar a un lado el poder, la riqueza y el estatus para doblar la rodilla ante el rey nacido
en medio de ellos.
Los sacerdotes, los abogados y el rey Herodes tienen oídos para oír y ojos para ver,
pero pocos prestan atención.
Todos los feligreses están invitados a participar en nuestra parroquia de muchas maneras. Estas son algunas de las oportunidades que puede encontrar personalmente y espiritualmente gratificantes.
Se necesitan miembros del Comité de Decoración para: • Organizar y decorar la iglesia para eventos, bodas y funerales.
Se necesitan voluntarios en el Grupo de Cocina para: • Organizar, planificar y vender desayunos los domingos. (Pueden crear su propio grupo o ayudar a un grupo
establecido).
• Organizar y dirigir nuevos eventos, como vender pescado frito, platillos de barbacoa, platos de enchiladas, etc..
Otras oportunidades en la parroquia: • Se necesitan servidores del altar para todas las Misas. • Músicos, especialmente para la misa en inglés • Persona para ayudar con fotografía y video. • Persona para ayudar con PowerPoint y A / V.
