  • 3 | ST. MONICA PARISH | JANUARY 3

    Isaiah reminds the people of God that the land

    shall be restored to their possession, they shall

    rejoice to see their people return from

    the bondage of exile, and they shall be

    a light to the nations. In other words, through

    the people of Israel, the Savior shall come to all

    people who seek God with a sincere heart.

    This brings joy and the radiance of God’s glory

    to all the world and to all people everywhere.

    Through the fidelity of the people of God,

    and through God’s fidelity to them, all people

    shall become God’s children and rejoice in

    the fulfillment of God’s promise to Israel.

    The assembly has gathered from near and far,

    on foot, by bus, by car, by subway, singly and by

    twos and threes: single people, couples, families.

    Now that movement is ritualized and made visible

    in the liturgy’s entrance procession.

    We are not alone on this journey; Christ is with us.

    The procession is led by the cross, with the image

    of Christ upon it. Candles, signs of a living

    presence, are carried around the cross. Candles

    also accompany the Book of the Gospels,

    another sign of Emmanuel, God-with-us.

    The priest presider is likewise a sign of Christ’s

    presence in our assembly; he will act in persona

    Christi, in the person of Christ, who presides at

    every Eucharist.

    As the procession begins, we stand and sing

    together in our first act as a community.

    The joining of our voices begins to turn many into

    one. The songs we sing range from ancient chants

    to contemporary hymns, but they have the same

    purpose, to foster our unity and turn our thoughts

    to the mysteries we gather to celebrate. We may

    feel that we can’t sing well, but “Christ always

    invites us to enter into song, to rise above our own

    preoccupations, and to give our entire selves

    to the hymn of his Paschal Sacrifice” (USCCB,

    Sing to the Lord, 14).

    FEAST OF FAITH THE LITURGY OF EMMANUEL

    PROMISE

    FULFILLED

  • When I tell a story, I have a friend who prefers

    the “nutshell version” first. After that she’ll listen

    to me ramble, but she wants to know the main

    point right off the bat. When reading and

    hearing Sunday scriptures one may often find

    the nutshell by looking at the responsorial psalm

    or the Gospel acclamation. From Psalm 72 we

    hear “Lord, every nation on earth will adore

    you.” The verse for the Gospel acclamation is

    Matthew 2:2 “We saw his star at its rising

    and have come to do him homage.”

    As a weary world, we need to see the light,

    to follow with our actions and our words. This is

    the same hope that is echoed in Isaiah 60:2

    “See, darkness covers the earth, / and thick

    clouds cover the peoples; / but upon you

    the Lord shines, / and over you appears his

    glory.” Don’t give up, friends. You must shine!

    SEARCHING

    In Matthew’s Gospel today we see two

    extremely different perspectives, two different

    reasons for searching for Jesus. In some ways,

    this resembles the polarization of our nation in

    today’s time. What one group sees as good for

    the nation, those with opposing views think will

    wreck the country. The Magi were astrologers

    who saw a vision in the sky and were trying to

    find a way to follow it and discover the new

    king of the Jews. Herod heard about this king,

    and his reaction was dark and negative.

    He saw the birth of such a king as a threat to his

    power as the Roman leader of the country

    and wanted the Magi to pass on to him what

    they knew about this Christ child. Similarly,

    on a more personal level, we can either feel

    threatened or excited by changes that may

    come, depending on our perspective.

    GIVING HOMAGE

    In our minds, it is easy to mix up bits and pieces

    from Luke’s account of the shepherds coming

    to see Jesus in the stable and the story of the

    magi. Clearly, it has taken the magi time to get

    here, and the reading speaks of them coming

    to the house where the star led them.

    THE EPIPHANY OF THE LORD

    Nevertheless, they “prostrated themselves

    and did him homage. Then they opened their

    treasures . . .”

    How do we do this? Do we continue looking for

    Jesus, even if takes a while and he is not where

    we expect to see him? Are we paying attention

    to the signs showing us the way? What gifts do

    we have with which to pay him homage?

    After seeing him, the Magi were warned in

    a dream not to go back the way they came.

    But if we have seen the Christ child, how can

    we go back to where we were?

    We must continue to respond to God’s call to

    move forward and grow in our lives. We must

    seek the right and just path and turn away from

    the “Herods” and inherent evils in our life.

    Nutshell: Seek God. Pay homage. Amen.

    The St. Vincent DePaul Society

    is so appreciative and

    o v e r w h e l m e d b y

    the generosity and caring of

    our parishioners who made it

    possible for us to give gift cards

    to the children of St. Thomas for Christmas.

    During this difficult time due to the pandemic

    we were not sure if we could help out these

    children, but it was possible to do so because of

    your generosity and caring. Again, thank you

    all for helping us continue our work of reaching

    out to the needy. GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
