THE EPIPHANY OF THE LORD JANUARY 7, 2018
SEGUIENDO LA ESTRELLA
En que dirección los guía su estrella y están preparados
para asumir el precio de ese viaje? Los reyes magos
siguieron la estrella que los guio hacia la manifestación del
niño, Cristo. Los reyes magos destinaron su tiempo, talento y
tesoros al servicio de su misión. Sus corazones estaban en-
focados en ella. En dónde están nuestros corazones? En que
están enfocados? Cuál es el objeto que encapsula los deseos
de nuestro corazón? Francisco nos aconseja: “Manténganse
bien cerca de la cuna... si aman las riquezas allí encontraran
el oro que los reyes dejaron. Si aman los honores allí encon-
traran el incienso, y si aman las cosas que deleitan los senti-
dos allí esta el dulce aroma de la mirra que impregna todo el
establo. Enriquézcanse en su amor por su dulce Salvador,
llénense de honor con las audiencias privadas que tienen con
él a través de la oración, y deléitense con la felicidad de sen-
tir dentro de ustedes todas esas santas inspiraciones y esos
afectos que solo son posibles cuando pertenecemos com-
pletamente a él” Cuando invertimos nuestros corazones en la
búsqueda de Cristo, sin importar el costo, encontramos que
tenemos un tesoro abundante. Descubrimos la claridad–
encontramos el propósito de nuestras vidas y nuestro lugar
en el mundo.
Siguiendo la estrella,

STEWARDSHIP CORNER
When Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the
days of King Herod, behold, magi from the east arrived
in Jerusalem, saying, “Where is the newborn king of the
Jews? We saw his star at its rising and have come to do
him homage.” - Mt 2:1-2

Youth Ministry
If you are interested in our youth group please contact
John Moncada: john.moncada54@gmail.com
YOUTH CORNER: The Magi were able to overcome that dan-
gerous moment of darkness before Herod, because they believed
the Scriptures, the words of the prophets which indicated that the
Messiah would be born in Bethlehem. And so they fled the dark-
ness and dreariness of the night of the world. They resumed their
journey towards Bethlehem and there they once more saw the
star, and the gospel tells us that they experienced “a great joy” (Mt
2:10). The very star which could not be seen in that dark, worldly
palace. (Reflection by Pope Francis.)
