SAINT ELIZABETH ANN SETON (1774-1821) January 4

Though her liturgical designation is “Religious,” Elizabeth Seton, her feast-day prayer reminds us, was also

wife, mother, educator, foundress. Born into a wealthy Episcopalian family, Elizabeth married William Seton, whose untimely death in Italy where the young family

sought healing for William’s tuberculosis, left her, at twenty-nine, a widow with five children.

Inspired by the faith and charity of the Italian family with whom they stayed, Elizabeth embraced Catholicism

despite her family’s disowning her and ceasing financial support. This woman of many firsts (and several voca-tions!) opened the first free Catholic school, beginning

the American Catholic educational system, and founded the first American religious community for women, the

Sisters of Charity. The tuberculosis that claimed her husband took also her oldest and youngest daughters and, finally, at just forty-seven, Elizabeth herself. Another first:

in 1975 she was canonized the first native-born American saint. Once asked to summarize her spirituali-ty, she replied: “Faith lifts the staggering soul on one side, hope supports it on the other, experience says it must be,

and love says let it be!” —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

LIGHT OF THE WORLD

Epiphany can be understood as an extension of the Nativity of the Lord that we celebrate on December 25. While at Christmas we celebrate Jesus’ coming as the long-awaited king and Messiah of the Jewish people, on Epiphany we celebrate the revelation that Jesus is the Savior and Light of all nations—Jews, Gentiles, and all people. The star shines so brightly that it attracts magi who come from far distant countries to worship Jesus. They are not Jews, yet they are drawn to the Light of the world. The letter to the Ephesians reveals that the Light of the world was for the Gentiles as well as the Jews—Christ gathers all people into the light of his love. The reading from Isaiah also describes a gathering of diverse peoples, but this time it is to the light that emanates from the people of God. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

KINGLY GIFTS

This day in many parts of the world is called Three Kings Day because of today’s Gospel reading about the visit of the three kings or magi to see the child Jesus. The church’s name for the day, Epiphany, is based on a Greek word that means “to reveal” or “make visible.” Here, the child Jesus is honored not by his own people—and certainly not King Herod—but by strangers from afar. Only Matthew’s Gospel tells their story. There are not many details about the magi, but pious legends have built up around them over the centuries. A modern version is the operetta Amahl and the Night Visitors, which used to be seen on television at this time of year. The Jewish hope for centuries had been that a Messiah, God’s Anointed One, would be sent to the Jewish people to

save them from their sins and deliver them from their enemies.

But here we see that God reveals the Son not just to the Jews but to the Gentiles, people like us who are also seeking a Savior, one whom they recognize with joy. We have expected the Savior all through Advent; we have celebrated the wonderful gift of his birth during Christmas; and now, in this new calendar year, what gifts will we present to him in return? New Year’s resolutions often include a decision to work off all those the extra pounds that we have gained from all our feasting and celebrating. That is all well and good as far as it goes, but why not resolve to do something extra for those you love and something more for the community in which you live? Show the love of God that is at work in your heart, or as Saint Francis of Assisi is thought to have said, “Preach the gospel at all times. When necessary, use words.” Copyright ©

REGALOS REALES

En muchas partes del mundo el día de hoy se conoce como la fiesta de los Reyes Magos pues, como nos dice el evan-gelio de hoy, los reyes o magos vinieron a ver al Niño Jesús. El nombre que la

Iglesia le da a este día, la Epifanía, proviene de una palabra griega que significa “revelación” o “hacer visible”. En este relato escuchamos que quienes honraron al Niño Jesús no fue su propia gente—y ciertamente no el rey Herodes—sino extranjeros lejanos. El Evangelio de san Mateo nos cuenta su historia. No existen muchos detalles acerca de los magos, pero sí muchas leyendas piadosas por el correr de los siglos. Una versión moderna es la opereta Amahl y los Visitantes Nocturnos, que antes la ponían por televisión durante este tiempo del año. La esperanza de los judíos por siglos era que el Mesías, el Ungido de Dios, sería enviado al pueblo judío para salvarlo de sus pecados y librarlos de sus enemigos. Pero aquí vemos que Dios revela a su Hijo no sólo a los judíos sino también a los paganos, personas como nosotros que buscan al Salvador y que se alegran al reconocerlo. Estuvimos esperando al Salvador durante todo el Adviento, hemos celebrado el maravilloso regalo de su nacimiento en la Navidad y ahora, en este nuevo año civil, ¿con qué regalos corresponderemos? Las resoluciones de Año Nuevo incluyen a menudo hacer ejercicio físico para rebajar esas libras extras que ganamos durante las festividades y celebraciones. Todo eso es muy santo y muy bueno pero, ¿por qué no tomar la resolución de hacer algo extra por las personas que amamos y por la comunidad en que vivimos? Demuestra el amor de Dios que mueve tu corazón o, como dicen que dijo san Francisco de Asís: “Predica el evangelio siempre y, cuando sea necesario, usa las palabras”.

LOS SANTOS Y OTRAS CELEBRACIONES

SANTA ELIZABETH SETON (1774-1821) 4 de Enero

Elizabeth nació en una familia anglicana donde aprendió

a amar a Dios y a la Sagrada Escritura. Contrajo matrimonio a los 19 años con William Seton y ambos

engendraron cinco hijos. Debido a la economía y la salud de su marido, emigró a Italia y posteriormente sufrió la muerte de su esposo. Gracias al testimonio y ayuda de

una familia católica, expresó su deseo de hacerse católica y, finalmente, en 1805 profesó la plena comunión con la Iglesia. Como hija de catedrático llegó a ser una mujer de amplísima educación e ingenio y fundó una escuela para

educar a los niños y mantener a su familia. Unos años después, junto con otras tres compañeras fundaron otra

escuela en Baltimore, naciendo así la primera comunidad religiosa de mujeres fundada en los Estados Unidos:

Hermanas de la Caridad de San José. Gracias a su visión y al carisma de sus hermanas, crearon las escuelas

parroquiales en los Estados Unidos, influenciando el crecimiento del catolicismo y por supuesto, la educación

católica. Fue la primera mujer estadounidense en ser canonizada.

LUZ DEL MUNDO

Se puede entender la Epifanía como una

extensión de la Natividad del Señor que celebra-

mos el 25 de diciembre. En la Navidad

celebramos la venida de Jesús como el rey y Mesías tan esperado por el pueblo judío, y en la Epifanía

celebramos la revelación de Jesús como el Salvador y la Luz de las naciones; es decir, de judíos, gentiles y de

todos los pueblos.

La estrella brilla con tanto fulgor que atrae a los magos que vienen de países distantes para adorar a Jesús. No son judíos, y sin embargo se ven atraídos al que

es la Luz del Mundo. La carta a los efesios revela que la Luz del Mundo era tanto para gentiles como para judíos,

pues Cristo reúne a todos los pueblos en la luz de su amor. La lectura de Isaías también describe a diversos pueblos que vienen, pero esta vez les atrae la luz que

emana del pueblo de Dios.

MGA SANTO PARA SA LINGGO

Ipinanganak si Elizabeth sa isang pamilyang Anglican kung saan natutunan niyang

mahalin ang Diyos at Banal na Kasulatan. Nagpakasal siya sa edad na 19 kasama si William Seton at parehong may anak na

limang anak. Dahil sa ekonomiya at kalusugan ng kanyang asawa, lumipat siya sa Italya at kasunod na nagdusa ang pagkamatay

ng kanyang asawa. Salamat sa patotoo at tulong ng isang pamilyang Katoliko,

ipinahayag niya ang kanyang pagnanais na maging isang Katoliko at, sa wakas, noong

1805 ay inamin niya ang buong pakikipag-ugnay sa Simbahan. Bilang anak na babae ng isang propesor, siya ay naging

isang babae na napakalawak ng edukasyon at talino sa paglikha at nagtatag ng isang

paaralan upang turuan ang mga bata at suportahan ang kanyang pamilya. Pagkalipas ng ilang taon, kasama ang tatlong iba pang mga kamag-aral, itinatag nila ang isa pang

paaralan sa Baltimore, kaya ipinanganak ang kauna-unahang pamayanan ng relihiyon ng

mga kababaihan na itinatag sa Estados Unidos: Sisters of Charity ni San Joseph.

Salamat sa kanilang pangitain at ang karisma ng kanilang mga kapatid na babae, lumikha

sila ng mga parochial school sa Estados Unidos, na nakakaimpluwensya sa paglago ng

Katolisismo at syempre, edukasyon sa Katoliko. Siya ang unang babaeng Amerikano

na na-canonized. —Miguel Arias, Karapatang magpalathala © J. S. Paluch Co.

MASS TRANSIT January 5, 2020 Epiphany of the Lord Isaiah 60:1-6 • Ephesians 3:2-3a, 5-6 • Ma hew 2:1-12

“They were overjoyed at seeing the star and on entering

the house they saw the child with Mary his mother. They prostrated themselves and did him homage.” -Ma hew 2:10-

11

When the magi came into the baby Jesus’ presence they were immediately overjoyed and fell prostrate to honor him. It was

tradi onal for people to kneel down in front of a king to do him homage. Did you know that we too are called to show our

King honor every single week? Who is our King? Jesus, of course! And we come into his presence in a special

way every me we come to Mass. What is one way we can show him honor, as the magi did? One way is to genuflect

slowly and reverently each me we enter his house. This is a sign of great honor, respect and love. In fact, each me you

come into church and get ready to enter the pew, you should genuflect, make the Sign of the Cross and tell Jesus you love

him. How honored our King must feel to be shown such respect and love!

Dear Father, thank you for giving us such a wonderful King to honor. May we always show him the love he

deserves.

What are some other ways we can show honor to our King Jesus?

Questions to discuss after Mass….

Helping Families Celebrate the Feast of the Epiphany Sunday, January 5

Interpretation of the Visit of the Magi— The story of the Visit of the Magi makes an important point about the role of the Messiah. Jesus is called “the newborn king of the Jews” by the magi (astrologers) who travel from the east. Jesus was not to become a political King of the Jews to de-throne Herod or even the emperor; he was to usher in a new kingdom that extended beyond political regimes.

Wise Men Still Follow Him Blessing of the Home on Epiphany—We invite you to adopt this custom in your family. The family gathers to ask God’s blessing on their home and on those who live in or visit the home. It is an invitation for Jesus to be a daily guest in our home, our comings and goings, our conversations, our work and play, our joys and sorrows. A traditional way of doing this is to use chalk to write above the homes entrance 20 + M + C + B + 20 The letters C,M, B have two meanings. They are the initiations of the traditional names of the three magi: Caspar, Melchior, and Balthazar. They also abbreviate the Latin words Christus Mansionem Benedicat, “May Christ bless this house.” The “+” signs represents the cross and 20 20 represents the year (2020). Using chalk, mark the lintel of your front door (or front porch step) as follows: 20 + C + M + B + 20

While saying: God of Light, bless our home. Make it a haven of rest for all those in need

of your warmth and care. And when we go out from this place,

may we never lose sight of that Epiphany star. We mark our door with the symbols of the Magi.

May all who enter, throughout the year, find love and light,

for Christ has come to dwell in this home and in these hearts. Amen

On January 6, The Feast of the Epiphany, the Church celebrates the biblical event where the Magi, also called the Three Wise Men or Three Kings, traveled from the East to ay homage to the newborn King, Jesus Christ. Many believed that this is the date when the Christmas

season officially ended. However, according to the Roman Catholic liturgical calendar, Ordinary time

does not begin until the Monday after the Feast of Baptism of the Lord, which (usually) falls on the

Sunday after Epiphany.
