Baptism of our Lord Sunday

Good People of Holy Cross, The decorations are boxed up, the lights put away, the cookies eaten, the gifts worn, and the whole season is wrapped away. Now, the work of Christmas begins. How do we discern the will of God? How do we follow the Christ child in this New Year? By following our delight, by doing whatever it is that truly delights us, as the Magi were “filled with delight” by the presence of the star. Following the star, which isn’t as easy as it sounds, because to follow a star takes openness, prayer, time, honesty, patience, and hope. And you’ve got to show up in the first place, you’ve got to be there. The star appeared over everyone’s heads, but not everyone saw it that night long ago, and many still don’t. You’ve got to move from your head to your heart, deeper than your reason, which often is telling you lies, which is often operating out of fear, which is often acting as your own inner enemy. Move deeper, into the part of you that is still a child, the part of you that dreams and listens to dreams. Listen to yours. Deep down, in your truest self, you will be invited, you will be warned. Deep down, the child is waiting. Yes, if you follow the star you’ll lose control. Yes, if you follow your dream you won’t know what will happen. Yes, it’s risky, it’s strange, it’s difficult. Exactly! That’s the way of Jesus, that’s always the way, and whatever that means to you, right now, in your own life, whatever that requires, that’s what you should do. May you see God’s star in your heart and follow it with joy! Fr. Jude Michael Gente Buena de Holy Cross, Las decoraciones han sido puestas en cajas, las luces guardadas, las galletas comidas, los regalos gastados y toda la temporada está envuelta. Ahora, comienza la obra de Navidad. ¿Cómo discernimos la voluntad de Dios? ¿Cómo seguimos al niño Jesús en este Año Nuevo? Al seguir nuestro deleite, haciendo lo que sea que realmente nos deleita, ya que los Magos se “llenaron de deleite” por la presencia de la estrella. Seguir a la estrella, que no es tan fácil como parece, porque seguir a una estrella requiere apertura, oración, tiempo, honestidad, paciencia y esperanza. Y tienes que aparecer en primer lugar, tienes que estar allí. La estrella apareció sobre las cabezas de todos, pero no todos la vieron esa noche hace mucho tiempo, y muchos aún no lo hacen. Tienes que moverte de tu cabeza a tu corazón, más profundo que tu razón, que a menudo te dice mentiras, que a menudo funciona por miedo, que a menudo actúa como tu propio enemigo interno. Muévete más profundo, hacia la parte de ti que aún es un niño, la parte de ti que sueña y escucha los sueños. Escúchate. En el fondo, en tu verdadero ser, serás invitado, serás advertido. En el fondo, el niño está esperando. Sí, si sigues la estrella perderás el control. Sí, si sigues tu sueño no sabrás lo que sucederá. Sí, es arriesgado, es extraño, es difícil. ¡Exactamente! Ese es el camino de Jesús, ese es siempre el camino, y lo que sea que signifique para ti, ahora mismo, en tu propia vida, lo que sea que eso requiera, eso es lo que debes hacer. ¡Que veas la estrella de Dios en tu corazón y la sigas con alegría! Padre Jude Michael
