The Epiphany of the Lord January 5th, 2020
When Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the days of King Herod,
behold, magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem, saying, “Where is the
newborn king of the Jews? We saw his star at its rising and have come to
do him homage.” ‐Ma hew 2:1‐2

The Epiphany of the Lord
(Readings: Isaiah 60:1-6 — Ephesians 3:2-6 — Matthew 2:1-12 ) Mystery of the Magi — For a brief time, all Jerusalem was talking about mysterious foreigners who had arrived from the East, asking a strange question. Biblical Scholars of the day found the answer, and King
Herod sent them on their way. Who were they? How many? How did they recognize the star? What identi-fied it with the birth of Jesus? How could it move in a southerly direction from Jerusalem to Bethlehem? Theories abound, some quite interesting. But none of these things really matters. They can easily distract us from the essence of the text, the object of the Magi’s quest: Jesus. It seems unlikely that St. Paul had ever heard of the Magi. But he makes the point of their story most effectively: “The mystery was made known to me by revelation... that the Gentiles are coheirs, members of the same body, and copartners in
the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel.” Thus is fulfilled the promise of Isaiah to Jerusalem: “Nations shall walk by your light.” In late 1846, everyone in the diocese of Grenoble, and beyond, was
talking about a mysterious Beautiful Lady who had arrived, it would seem, from heaven. Her objective was similar to that of the Epiphany star: to point the way (in this case, to point the way back) to the one whom she calls “my Son.” The Wise Men “were overjoyed at seeing the star, and on entering the house they saw the child with Mary his mother.” At La Salette, Maximin and Mélanie saw a different Madonna and Child, where Jesus is represented not as a babe in arms but as the crucified Savior. The universal salvation antici-pated in the accounts of Jesus’ birth was accomplished on Calvary. As we reflect on the Gospel story and on the Apparition of Our Lady of La Salette, we look to the past. But both invite us to enter into the mys-tery of the present, and of the future as well. The Church reminds of the Magi for a reason. We remember La Salette for a similar reason. Both hold the hope expressed in the refrain of today’s Psalm: “Lord, every
nation on earth will adore you.” Can we play a part in bringing that about?

Reflexión….
Oración Mundial de La Salette por las Vocaciones Dios Padre nues-tro, te damos gracias por llamarnos a abrazar el regalo de la vida y a compartirlo. Y como una vez mediante Jesucristo, escogiste los pri-meros discípulos para proclamar la Buena Nueva y derramaste Tu Espíritu sobre la Iglesia, renuévanos en nuestra vocación y misión de reconciliación; permite que este mismo llamado haga eco en el corazón de muchas personas jóvenes y que respondan a las nece-sidades de nuestros hermanos siguiendo el ejemplo de María, la Bel-la Señora de La Salette; inspira en hombres y mujeres de nuestros tiempos el deseo de ser “sal y luz” en la Iglesia y en el mundo en-tero. Amén
El Misterio de los Magos
Epifanía
Isaías 60:1‐6; Efesios 3:2‐6; Mateo 2:1‐12
Por un corto empo, toda Jerusalén estaba hablando de unos extranjeros que
habían llegado desde el este, haciendo una pregunta extraña. Los expertos
bíblicos de aquel empo encontraron una respuesta, y Herodes los envió a su
camino.
¿Quiénes eran? ¿Cuántos? ¿Cómo reconocieron la estrella? ¿Qué la iden fica‐
ba con el nacimiento de Cristo? ¿Cómo podía la estrella moverse hacia el sud desde Jerusalén hasta Belén?
Abundan las teorías, algunas bastante interesantes.
Pero nada de todo eso es realmente importante. Esas cosas pueden fácilmente distraernos de lo esencial del
texto—el obje vo de la búsqueda de los Magos: Jesús.
No parece probable que San Pablo haya alguna vez oído hablar de los Magos. Pero ahonda en sus historias
de una manera más efec va: “Fue por medio de una revelación como se me dio a conocer este misterio,
[que] consiste en que también los paganos par cipan de una misma herencia, son miembros de un mismo
Cuerpo y beneficiarios de la misma promesa en Cristo Jesús, por medio del Evangelio”. Así se cumple la pro‐
mesa hecha a Jerusalén por Isaías: “Las naciones caminarán a tu luz”.
A finales de 1846, todos en la diócesis de Grenoble, y más allá, estaban hablando acerca de una misteriosa
Bella Señora que había venido, al parecer, del cielo. Su obje vo era similar al de la estrella de la Epifanía: in‐
dicar el camino (en este caso, indicar el camino de regreso) a aquel al que ella llama “mi Hijo”.
Los Sabios “cuando vieron la estrella se llenaron de alegría, y al entrar en la casa, encontraron al niño con
María, su madre”. En La Sale e, Maximino y Melania vieron algo muy diferente. Jesús estaba representado
no como un bebé sino como el Salvador crucificado. La Salvación an cipada en los relatos de la infancia de
Jesús se cumplió en el Calvario.
Al reflexionar en el relato del Evangelio y en la aparición de Nuestra Señora de La Sale e, miramos al pasado.
Sin embargo, los dos acontecimientos nos invitan a entrar también en el misterio del presente, y en el del
futuro.
La Iglesia hace memoria de los Magos por una razón. Nosotros hacemos memoria de La Sale e por una ra‐
zón similar. Los dos llevan la esperanza expresada en la respuesta del Salmo de hoy: “¡Pueblos de la erra,
alaben al Señor!” ¿Podemos hacer nuestra parte para que esto se haga una realidad?
