PRAYER AND REFLECTION

January 1st 2017 — Solemnity of Mary, the Holy Mother of God Happy New Year! Today we celebrate Mary, the Mother of God, and the eighth day after Jesus was born — his naming day, when he was first called Jesus. At this Mass today let us ask God to reveal to us the name that identifies us even more than our family name or given name or nickname. Let us ask God to help us live out our true name: “Christian.” Let us pray. Prayers of the Faithful

As we begin this New Year, let us ask God for the grace to reveal Christ to our world as we pray, Be born in us; be born in our world. Minister So that in this new year all people of the world will know that God loves all people of the world, we pray … Be born in us; be born in our world.

So that in this New Year the church will reveal the loving face of God to the world, we pray … Be born in us; be born in our world.

So that in this New Year this community will welcome the stranger, visit the sick, feed the needy and embrace the children, we pray … Be born in us; be born in our world.

So that in this New Year our homes will be havens of hospitality, nurturing and peace, we pray … Be born in us; be born in our world. So that in this New Year our families will be patient, loving and full of joy, we pray … Be born in us; be born in our world.

So that in this New Year we may be like Mary, saying Yes to what comes and grateful for what has been, we pray … Be born in us; be born in our world. Prayer: Good and gracious God, you chose humble Mary as a fit dwelling for your Son. Hear our prayers and grant us the grace to reveal Christ to your waiting, needy world. We pray in Jesus’ name. Amen.

... Ao verem de novo a estrela, os magos ficaram radiantes de alegria!'

Epifania do Senhor: – Isaías 60,1-6; Salmo 72(71); Efésios 3,2-6; Mateus 2,1-12 No evangelho, Jesus se manifesta como o Messias e Filho de Deus, o verdadeiro Rei que nasce em Belém (cf. Mq 5,1) para apascentar o povo (cf. 2Sm 5,2). Os magos ou sábios do Oriente que representam todos os povos que acolhem a chegada do Rei-Messias prefiguram a missão univer-sal de fazer discípulos/as em todas as nações (28,19). A fé, o reconhecimento e a adoração desses sábios contrastam com a cegueira dos que ignoram a presença do Salvador. Temendo os movimentos messiânicos como ameaças a seus interesses de poder e riqueza, Herodes convoca os sumos sacerdotes e os escribas que conhecem as Escrituras (vv.5-6), mas não reconhecem Jesus (21,15). Na 1ª leitura, Jerusalém em vias de reconstrução, acolhe os povos que regressam do exílio babilônico e de outras partes, carregados de oferendas. A glória de Deus resplandece nos povos que se unem para construir uma nova cidade, solidificada no amor e na justiça. No salmo, o rei, como figura da justiça e paz divina, tem a responsabilidade de ser agente da liber-tação para o povo. A 2ª leitura acentua que o plano da salvação de Deus, destinado a todo ser humano, foi realizado plenamente em Cristo. Romperam-se as barreiras que dividiam os povos e assim também os gentios, como membros do mesmo corpo, tornaram-se participantes da mesma promessa de salvação.

A Epifania celebra a manifestação da universalidade da salvação em Cristo e impele os povos, unidos pela fé, a reconhecê-lo e adorá-lo como Deus vivo e verdadeiro. Ele é a luz, a palavra que ilumina o nosso caminho para que façamos resplandecer a sua presença amorosa de verdade e vida.

O Senhor Deus, hoje nos revela o seu Filho a todas as nações. Que Jesus, sempre nos guie e nos fortaleça em todas as iniciativas de unidade, de comunhão e de preservação da terra.

(Extraído da Revista de Liturgia) Oração

Ó Deus de todos os povos, guiando os magos pela estrela, tu revelaste hoje o teu filho Jesus a toda a humanidade.

Dá a nós, teus servos e servas, que já te conhecemos pela fé, a graça de buscarmos sempre o teu rosto

e participarmos plenamente da tua luz. Por Cristo, nosso Senhor! Amém.
