The Epiphany of the Lord January 8, 2017
St. Benedict 25 Arlington St. Somerville, MA
The Epiphany of the Lord We know this story so well – we can
sing by heart “We Three Kings”, here is an example of
perseverance. These men were determined to
follow the star to “do him homage.” We follow
a lot of stars these days: sports stars, rock stars, movie
stars, stars famous for being… famous. Maybe it’s %me to
take a page from the Magi’s book and go home by another
way. There is one Star to follow – Jesus Christ, fully
human,
fully Divine. Sports and music and film can be very good
things, but take the road that Jesus is on.
Announcements Feast of the Baptism of the Lord This year, since
the Solemnity of the Epiphany of the Lord is
celebrated on January 8, the Feast of the Bap%sm of the
Lord will be celebrated on Monday, January 9. Second Collection
Next Weekend Next weekend’s second collec%on will be for Assistance
to
Urban Parishes in order to support the mission of our inner
city parishes in the Archdiocese of Boston.
No CCD Next Weekend Just a reminder that we will not have
Religious Educa%on
(CCD) classes next weekend.
Christmas Collection The Christmas collec%on went to benefit the
Clergy Health
and Re%rement Trust which helps care for the health and
well-being of our priests. Our parish contribu%on will have
a significant impact on the quality of life programs
provided
for our priests. Please visit clergytrust.org to learn more

The Epiphany of the Lord January 8, 2017
St. Benedict 25 Arlington St. Somerville, MA
Saint of the Week St. Margaret of Antioch, Virgin and Martyr St.
Margaret's feast has been supressed because there is not much
historical
informa%on about her life. There was great
devo%on to this saint, especially during the
Middle Ages. She is one of the "Fourteen Holy Helpers" and
one of the saints that appeared and spoke to St. Joan of
Arc.
"This same day brings before us a rival of the warrior-
martyr, St. George: Margaret, like him victorious over the
dragon, and like him called in the Menaea of the Greeks, the
Great Martyr. The cross was her weapon; and, like the
soldier, the virgin, too, consummated her trial in her
blood.
They were equally renowned in those chivalrous %mes when
valor and faith fought hand in hand for Christ beneath the
standard of the saints. So early as the seventh century our
Western island rivaled the East in honoring the pearl drawn
from the abyss of infidelity. Before the disastrous schism
brought about by Henry VIII, the Island of Saints celebrated
this feast as a double of the second class; women alone were
obliged to rest from servile work, in gra%tude for the
protec%on afforded them by St. Margaret at the moment of
childbirth—a favor which ranked her among the saints called
in the Middle Ages auxiliaries or helpers. But it was not in
England alone that Margaret was invoked, as history proves
by the many and illustrious persons of all countries who
have
borne her blessed name."
Excerpted from The Liturgical Year, Abbot Gueranger O.S.B.
Patron: against sterility; childbirth; dying; escape from
devils;
exiles; expectant mothers; falsely accused people; kidney
disease; loss of milk by nursing mothers; Lowesto
