ESCUELA DE LA FE

EPIPHANY ~ Epiphany comes from the Greek word epiphaneia which signifies a manifestation or

appearance of a god or of divine intervention or the appearance of kings. The magi went out to find out

about this new god or king and began a difficult journey. This gospel manifestation reveals the

appearance of Jesus the Christ; it also highlights a comparison between the characters of the magi and

Herod. The magi were pilgrims – seekers. They were searching out a truth they had discovered in the stars. They went

on this pilgrimage and when they entered the home of the Holy Family, they found their gift, their reward, their soul’s

longing. They offered their gifts, quietly slipped away, went home by a new route, and through it all discovered a new

way within their hearts and souls. These events brought them new life and new understandings. Herod, on the other

hand, was a man of power. Through his power, and his armies, and his money, and his political position he had

established a home (his kingdom) and did everything to protect and preserve it. He didn’t want to share it. He didn’t

want it usurped. He didn’t want to risk losing any of it and therefore, his only option was to stomp out, eradicate, get

rid of, destroy the child Jesus. There could be no other king, no other threat to his life. What a difference between the

two: 1) seekers of truth; 2) a liar promising to ‘go and do him homage’ but really intending to kill him; 1) offering gifts

of homage and recognition; 2) using any means to protect MY kingdom and MY wealth and MY power. The gospel

presents a manifestation and in the light of its truth reveals the hearts of very different kinds of people: the magi and

Herod. What does the star, the light, reveal to us? Do we discover any new truths about us, about God, about others?

Do we bring our gifts and in the giving discover that we have been far more gifted? Fr. Perry Leiker, Pastor

Quote of the Week:

“There are people who go clad in tunics and have nothing to do with furs,

who nevertheless are lacking in humility. Surely humility in furs is better than pride in tunics” — St. Bernard of Clairvaux

EPIFANIA ~ Epifanía proviene de la palabra Griega epiphaneia que significa manifestación o aparición de un dios o de la intervención divina o la aparición de reyes. Los magos salieron a averiguar acerca de este nuevo dios o rey y comenzaron un viaje difícil. Esta manifestación del Evangelio revela la aparición de Jesús, el Cristo; También destaca una comparación entre los personajes de los magos y Herodes. Los magos eran peregrinos; buscadores. Estaban en

busca de una verdad que habían descubierto en las estrellas. Comenzaron esta peregrinación y cuando entraron a la casa de la Sagrada Familia, encontraron su regalo, su recompensa, su anhelo de alma. Ofrecieron sus dones, y se alejaron silenciosamente, regresaron a casa por una nueva ruta, y a través de ella descubrieron un nuevo camino dentro de sus corazones y de sus almas. Estos eventos les trajeron nueva vida y nuevos entendimientos. Herodes, por otra parte, era un hombre de poder. A través de su poder, y de sus ejércitos, su dinero, y su posición política, había establecido un hogar (su reino) y lo había hecho todo para protegerlo y preservarlo. No quería compartirlo. No quería usurpado. No quería arriesgarse a perder nada y por lo tanto, su única opción era pisar fuerte, erradicar, deshacerse de; destruir al niño Jesús. No podía haber otro rey, ninguna otra amenaza a su vida. Qué diferencia entre los dos: 1) buscadores de la verdad; 2) un mentiroso que promete "ir a rendirle homenaje" pero que realmente intenta matarlo; 1) ofrecer regalos en homenaje y reconocimiento; 2) usar cualquier medio para proteger MI reino y MI riqueza y MI poder. El Evangelio presenta una manifestación y a la luz de su verdad revela los corazones de personas muy diferentes: los magos y Herodes. ¿Qué nos revela la estrella, la luz? ¿Descubrimos nuevas verdades sobre nosotros, acerca de Dios, acerca de los demás? ¿Traemos nuestros regalos y al dar descubrimos que hemos sido mucho más dotados?

Padre Perry Leiker Cita de la Semana:

"Hay gente que va vestida con túnicas y no tiene nada que ver con las pieles, sin embargo carecen de humildad. Seguramente la humildad en las pieles es mejor que el orgullo en las túnicas"

Sabía Usted? Ayude a comunicarse con los niños leyendo entre líneas

Cuando los niños expresan que algo está mal en la escuela o con otras actividades, a menudo es tarea de los cuidadores leer entre líneas para entender lo que realmente está pasando. Podrían decir “estoy aburrido” y necesito tu guía para encontrar un mejor equilibrio en la vida escolar o participar en un trabajo académico más desafiante. Pídales que den ejemplos y que le ayuden a entender lo que está sucediendo. Si el niño sigue siendo vago, recuérdeles que pueden decirle cualquier cosa y que usted escuchará con una mente abierta. Como padres y cuidadores, usted tiene la oportunidad de ayudar a los niños a lidiar con los sentimientos y desafíos negativos. Y, si están siendo maltratados de alguna manera, mantener una línea abierta de comunicación con los niños le permitirá ser su defensor. Para obtener una copia del

artículo de VIRTUS© “Communication Tip No. 15: When Children

los niños se quejan de la escuela), envíe un correo electrónico

Did You Know —Help children communicate by reading between the lines

When children express that something is wrong at school or with other activities, it's often the job of caregivers to read between the lines to determine what's really going

on. They might say "I'm bored" and need your guidance finding a better school-life balance or engaging in more challenging academic work. Ask them to give examples and to help you understand what is going on. If the child is still being vague, remind them that they can tell you anything and that you'll listen with an open mind. As parents and caregivers, you have the opportunity to help kids deal well with negative feelings and challenges. And, if they are being mistreated in some way, keeping an open line of communication with kids will enable you to be their advocate.
