Jesus came in the most unexpected of ways; the King of Kings was born in a manger as a baby. His coming was not shouted from the roo ops, nor did he come as a great warrior, like so many of the Jewish people expected. Since Jesus’s birth was concealed from most of the world, Italian crèches highlight this aspect of the Na vity. Unlike American Na-

vity scenes, they are extremely busy and showcase an en re village; Jesus, Mary, and Joseph are not the prominent or central figures. The Italian crèche allows us to really un-derstand how Jesus came. He was hidden. His coming was humble, and it took a journey of faith and trust to find him. The magi in today’s Gospel had the wisdom and openness to see the light of the star and follow it. They were on watch, just as we were dur-ing Advent, and had a heart willing to follow the light that they saw. They set aside the tasks of daily life in order to worship the Messiah. Are we willing to do the same in our own lives? Do we seek Christ, and when we find him, do we worship him and pay him homage?

Isaiah 60:1–6 The Church understands this text from Isaiah as poin ng prophe cally to the Adora on of the Magi, which we celebrate on this feast of Epipha-ny, meaning “manifesta on.” “Your light has come,” Isaiah says, “the glory of the Lord shines upon you.” Indeed, light is a prominent theme in the Liturgy during this dark and cold

me of the year. Isaiah con nues, saying, “Na ons shall walk by your light, and kings by your shining radi-

ance.” Let’s delve into this a li le further. On this solemn feast, it is precisely kings who walk by God’s shining ra-diance. The light of course comes from the star of Bethlehem. But what—or who—is the star? Christ is not only the babe born at Bethle-hem, but the Light of the World. In Revela on 22:16, St. John records Our Lord closing the revela on with

these words: “I, Jesus, sent my angel to give you this tes mony for the churches. I am the root and offspring of David, the bright morning star.” Christ is both the babe lying below the star, and also the star that shines above. The light of the star that guides the Wise Men symbolizes the light that Christ casts by his coming into the dark of this world.

Ephesians 3:2–3a, 5–6 In St. Paul’s le er to the Ephesians, we see an expression of the fulfill-ment of the prophecy which the Ma-gi represent. The specific role that the Gen les (non-Jews) are to play is revealed in the living prophecy of the Wise Men. The Magi from the East come to pay homage not mere-

ly to the King of the Jews but to the universal King of the Na ons—the King of Kings. That Christ is the King of all mankind is not finally made clear, however, un l a er the birth of the infant Church and the special revela ons given to Sts. Peter and Paul that direct them to extend the Church to the Gen les. The early Church probably reflected on the Jewish Scriptures in the light of these new revela ons and realized that God’s promise to Israel had been a universal promise from the beginning. The first covenants were, a er all, universal. The covenants with Adam at crea on and with Noah a er the flood were intended to extend to the whole of the human family—all the descendants of those two covenant mediators. It is not un l Abraham that God chooses one people to me-diate his covenantal love to the rest of mankind. At every step of salva-

on history, however, God’s over-tures to his creatures are frustrated by human sin. So, finally, he sends his only Son who can act as the per-fect Mediator between God and man because he is both God and man.

Ma hew 2:1–12 The Wise Men le their homes in the East in search of the Messiah, which means “anointed one” in He-brew. Since the kings of Israel were anointed with oil like David (1 Samu-el 16), it was assumed that the Mes-siah would be a great king. David was called God’s anointed precisely because he was Israel’s king. The Wise Men followed a star, from which they inferred that the great

Page 3: St. Michael Catholic Parish - Livermore, Californiastmichaellivermore.com/sites/livermore/files/uploads/bulletins/st... · in order to worship the Messiah. ... Uriel Cruz Benjamin

King of Israel had been born. The next obvious ques on is, how did they know from the appearance of a star that the Messiah of Israel had been born? The answer may be found in the sto-ry of Balaam from the Book of Num-bers. The similari es between the two stories are striking. For example, Balaam happens to be a Magi from the East. The wicked King of Moab hired Balaam to use his magic to curse Israel. But every me Balaam a empted to curse Israel, he u ered a blessing instead. The Spirit of God came upon Balaam and, in blessing Israel, he prophesied that one day a star would come out of Israel signify-ing the coming of a great king as sym-bolized by a scepter. Many believe that the prophecy of Balaam was kept by his descendants—fellow Ma-gi—and, eventually, on to the three who visited Jesus.

As we reflect on the Magi’s journey of faith to meet Christ, let us consider how we can follow the light of Christ in our own life. Please take a few minutes and listen to Jim Beckman’s

insight into today’s Gospel by playing the Opening the Word video on FORMED.org. In today’s Second Reading, St. Paul tells the Ephesians that the mystery of salva on is being revealed to them in a way unlike ever before. Salva on had been proclaimed for ages to the Jewish people, but it was never known how salva on would come to them. When have you been surprised by the way something worked out? Is it hard to trust that everything will “work out” in the end? Do you re-main hopeful and place your trust in the Lord when situa ons arise that you don’t have control over? In today’s Gospel, we hear of the journey of the Magi to meet the Christ Child. Their journey is one of great faith— though they are not Jewish, they have studied enough to recognize the star that leads them to the coming of the Savior as a new-born boy. As we can imagine, this is probably not what they expected to see. However, the wise Magi were able to recognize the King of Kings in a ny infant. Finally, they disobey a powerful ruler and change their route home because of a dream.

What provoked the Magi to begin this journey in the first place? Where in your life do you need to trust God as the Magi did?

Allegorically, the gi s of the magi signify the mystery of Christ incar-nate. Gold, a symbol of royalty, rep- resents the kingship of Jesus. Frank-incense, used in the worship of God, points to his divinity. Myrrh, a burial ointment, signifies the humanity of Christ, especially in his Passion and Death. Morally, the treasures signify the gi s we present to Christ in our daily lives. Gold is Christ’s wisdom, which shines in us, frankincense is the prayer and adora on we give him, and myrrh is our daily self-sacrifices (Igna us Catholic Study Bi-ble, 9).

Glen Renfro The Moriarty Family Parish Prayer Requests

For the many requests in the Book of Inten ons in our Chapel Please send your prayer requests to [email protected]

The readings today tell us of the grace we have received in having the opportunity to meet Christ. We, like the Magi, have the chance to meet him face-to-face. We can find him in every Tabernacle and have the priv-ilege to bow down before him and offer him our hearts. Let’s take some

me to be er understand the story of the Magi and how we can follow their example of faith and adora on of Our Lord. Prayer Medita on When the Magi arrived at the place where Jesus was born, they immedi-ately recognized him as their Savior, “[falling] down and [worshipping] him” (Ma hew 2:11). They saw this innocent child, their Lord, and offered him their best gi s—gold, frankincense, and myrrh. What gi s do you have to offer to Christ? Do you offer to him from your excess or do you offer him all that you are? As you heard Jim Beckman explain in the Opening the Word video on FORMED.org, the best you can give to Jesus is your very self—your heart. Have you offered it to him? What is holding you back from giving the infant Jesus your heart today? Resolu on The story of the Magi’s journey is truly remarkable. They are an example of a profound humility and trust in God. What area, of the four Jim spoke of, do you need to focus on this week? To refresh your memory, the first way we can model the example of the Magi is to do our part in studying and learning the Faith. The second is by prac cing humility and being open to what God wants to show us, especially when it isn’t part of our own plan. The third is to detach from the busyness of our daily lives and follow Christ. And finally, offer your heart to Christ. Don’t hold back from giving him your best. He longs for you, just as you are. Make a commitment to choose one of the four a ributes of the Wise Men to live out this week.

We thank you, our parish family, for your Christmas and con nued Sunday

financial support. This is our parish and all of us together make St. Mi-chael Parish what it is today. Building on the legacy that others have given us, we are called to make our contri-bu ons of prayer, evangeliza on, fi-nancial support.

Hoy Isaías le recuerda al pueblo de Dios que recuperará su erra, que se alegrará al ver que las personas re-gresan del cau verio del exilio y que será una luz para todos los pueblos. En otras palabras, por medio del pueblo de Israel, el Salvador llegará a todos los pueblos que buscan a Dios con un corazón sincero. Esto traerá la alegría y el resplandor de la gloria de Dios a todo el mundo y a todos los pueblos. Gracias a la fidelidad del pueblo de Dios y, gracias a la fideli-dad de Dios con ellos, todos serán sus hijos y se alegrarán con el cumpli-miento de su promesa a Israel.
