The Epiphany of the Lord
Page 2
Readings for January 2, 2011
Isaiah 60: 1-6
Psalm: 72
Ephesians 3: 2-3a, 5-6
Matthew 2:1-12
This Sunday’s Readings– The Feast of the Epiphany
is traditionally celebrated on the 12th day of Christmas. In some Southern European
countries as well as the Churches of the Eastern rite, this Feast takes precedence over
Christmas. It is sometimes known as “Little Christmas” and gifts are exchanged instead
of on Christmas. Today’s first reading is taken from the Book of the prophet Isaiah (3rd
Isaiah, which was written shortly after the return from the Babylonian Captivity or
approximately 500 BC). This section emphasizes hope, joy, and the rise of the new
Zion. It also emphasizes that Yahweh is faithful to His promises, which is the message
that we have read throughout Advent, Christmas, and now the Epiphany. This particular
section manifests or show’s Yahweh’s glory, which is the meaning of the word
Office Staff
epiphany.
Webster’s Dictionary describes epiphany as “an appearance or
Personal de Oficina
manifestation”. Reginald H. Fuller in his Preaching the Lectionary: The Word of God
Jean Hess, Office Manager
for the Church Today very simply ties this first reading to the Gospel reading – “This
Andrea Rosales, Office Staff
passage is from Third Isaiah. The first part (vv. 1-3) announces the return of the exiles in
language taken over from Second Isaiah (chapters 40-55). The second part (vv. 4-6)
Benjamin Corrales, Office Staff
foretells the eschatological pilgrimage of the Gentiles to the restored city of Jerusalem.
Please contact our parish office for information about baptism, The first part is typological of the birth of Christ; the second part, of the visit of the
marriage, funerals, ministry to the sick and other ministries. Magi”. In Matthew’s Gospel, we read the time-honored story of the Magi, who came
from the East, most probably Babylon, when they saw his “Star in the East”. The Magi
Pastoral Council
were most probably astronomers/astrologers from Persia and also priests of a very

ancient monotheistic religion, Zoroastrianism, which was as old as Judaism and which is

still practiced today. The journey would have taken approximately one and a half to two

years, so Jesus would not have been an infant when they arrived. The Magi (Gentiles)
Eulalie Deganus La-Anyane
announced the birth of the newborn King of the Jews and worshiped Him with gifts of

gold, frankincense, and myrrh. (Again, the epiphany or manifestation of the Son of
Janet Stevenson
God) This fulfilled the prophecy from Isaiah that we read in the first reading. The three
Sharon Aeria
gifts were also symbolic – gold represented kingship, frankincense, priesthood, and
Rafael Sanchez
myrrh, death. Myrrh also had medicinal properties and represented physicians. Thus,
Carol Yanz
Jesus was a king, a priest, and a healer. The main theme of Matthew’s Gospel is to

demonstrate that Jesus is the Messiah and that Jesus is the fulfillment of the prophecies

regarding the Messiah. So what was the Star of Bethlehem? Go to the expanded

LUZ DEL MUNDO
Se puede entender la Epifanía como una extensión de
la Natividad del Señor que celebramos 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.
