Scripture Reflection: Matthew 2:1-12
Solemnity of the Epiphany:
Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, saying, "Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we have seen his star in the East, and have come to worship him." When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him; and assembling all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born. They told him, "In Bethlehem of Judea; for so it is written by the prophet: `And you, O Bethlehem, in the land of Ju-dah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for from you shall come a ruler who will govern my people Israel.'" Then Herod summoned the wise men secretly and ascertained from them what time the star appeared; and he sent them to Bethlehem, saying, "Go and search diligently for the child, and when you have found him bring me word, that I too may come and worship him." When they had heard the king they went their way; and lo, the star which they had seen in the East went before them, till it came to rest over the place where the child was. When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy; and going into the house they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Then, opening their treasures, they offered him gifts, gold and frank-incense and myrrh. And being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed to their own country by an-other way.
Meditation: 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 1:10-11). 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.
To know and to encounter Jesus Christ is to know God personally. In the encounter of the wise men with Jesus we see the plan of God to give his only Son as King and Savior, not just for the Jewish people but for all the nations as well. The Lord Jesus came that both Jew and Gentile might find true and lasting peace with God. Let us pray today that Jew and Gentile alike will find the Lord and Savior on their journey of life. Do you bring the light of Jesus Christ to those you meet through the witness of your life and testimony?
"Lord Jesus Christ, we thank you for bringing salvation to all the nations. May the gospel of salvation be proclaimed to every nation today and to every person on the face of the earth. Help me to be a good witness of the joy of the gospel to all I meet."

Living Catholic in the 808
In Need of Epiphany
By Kristina DeNeve, Adult Formation Co-ordinator
I was working on my laptop at a neighborhood McDon-alds. I seated myself along a row of tables beside a homeless man. I was so proud of myself, smug even – smiling and offering him warm eyes, even a helping hand when he got up to leave and dropped his belong-ings.
Later, in my car, I couldn’t find my cell phone. It wasn’t in my usual purse pocket. As I began to search more fran-tically, I quickly decided the homeless man had stolen it when I got up to refill my soda. How wrong I was! (It was in my computer bag where I put it, of course.)
Now, I’ve walked with God my entire life. I know him and love him. But, without a second thought, I blamed the least of my brothers for my own carelessness.
The truth is I still need the Epiphany in my life, for God to make himself known. The Epiphany is not simply a long ago event. It’s today. Jesus breaks into my life and reveals himself to me every single day. Yet I still need Jesus to break into my little world so I will change, truly change – to become the person who doesn’t automati-cally jump to bad conclusions about others.or even my-self.

Introducing the New Campus Minister
Aloha Newman ‘Ohana,
As the new pastoral assistant for the Newman Center, I am ecstatic to be here and look forward to working with you all! Being a recent graduate of UH Manoa myself, I am definitely looking forward to working with Fr. Jack, Chris, and the students and parishioners of this parish to have a very fruitful and eventful year.
To give a little more background information on myself, I was born and raised here on the island of O‘ahu and after graduat-ing from Roosevelt High School, I began my journey as an un-dergraduate student. After debating among majors such as Kinesiology, Journalism, Philosophy, Communications, Reli-gious Studies, and Business I ultimately decided to major in my own heritage language in the program sponsored by the federal government, the Korean Language Flagship Program. Originally, I wanted to be a translator in the US Air Force or for the NSA, but after encountering many unforeseen circum-stances in relation with my health and dual-citizenship, it slowly became very clear that that was not the path I was to take.
Volunteering in many active ministries throughout my under-graduate years in college, I grew a strong fondness of working with the youth and young adults and thus, am very privileged to be offered a position here at the Newman Center. My minis-terial background at the Korean Catholic Community included being a catechist, choir member, young adult group leader, and a missionary in Mexico. I am also an active volunteer for the retreats that the St. Joseph Parish in Waipahu hosts regu-larly and was a facilitator for the UH Manoa Fall 2016 retreat, where I met our Pastoral Administrator, Christopher Malano, and many of the undergraduate students that are a part of the Newman ‘ohana.
In regards to my work experience, because I am still a relative-ly recent college graduate, my work experience mainly in-cludes work in the restaurant industry. However, I was also fortunate to experience interning at a South Korean NGO called Unification Media Group that is based in Seoul during my one-year study abroad in Korea. My professional back-ground also includes shadowing community interpreters and taking classes on interpreting as well as working at an immi-gration law office. Although I am currently employed by the Newman Center, I am also still working a part-time secretarial position at my home parish, St. Pius X.
On my free time, you can catch me doing a lot of outdoors sports such as swimming, basketball, CrossFit, and hik-ing. I also enjoy reading, watching movies, and playing guitar, despite still being a horrible amateur.
Now that you know a lot more about me, I hope to learn more and grow in fellowship with each and every one of you. I am truly looking forward to what God has in store for all of us here at the Newman Center.
In Christ, Joseph Oh
