The Epiphany of the Lord WHAT WILL THE NEIGHBORS THINK?

It must have been quite a sight on the streets of Bethlehem as the magi, those star‑searchers, made their way to the house of Joseph (in Matthew’s Gospel the Holy Family are residents of Bethlehem until the flight to Egypt). Imagine the wonder that filled the eyes of the neighbor-hood children as this caravan made its way. Matthew doesn’t tell us many specifics about them (he never numbers them as three or calls them “kings”), but travel was hard in that time, and “safety in numbers” was the rule for making a long trek. Most likely it was a lengthy cortege that wound its way under the guidance of that star. If the celestial phe-

nomenon that guided them there hadn’t already excited the village, the arrival of these women and men (in the ancient world astrologers and sign‑readers were frequently female) with their dromedaries, unusual cloth-ing, foreign ways—and gifts!—certainly would have roused the neighbors. News travels fast in small towns, and imagine the surprise when it was learned where these travelers stopped.

DON’T BE FOOLED We can include the magi on our list of role models in faith for the season. They were not Jews, but were willing to follow a route that led to an insignificant and troublesome Roman province. When they were led to the Holy Family’s humble abode in Bethlehem they did not say, “No way! This can’t be the place. It’s too lowly, they’re not affluent enough.” They simply bowed down and worshiped Jesus the Christ, in a scene that prefigures the disciples bowing to worship him later in Matthew’s Gospel after his resurrection. These sign‑seekers were willing to be led by their wonder, ready to persist in their journey, not knowing where the quest for their revelation would lead them, but open to its possible presence anywhere. We, like they, must be ready to seek the epiphania, the manifestation of God, earnestly and honestly, and be prepared to bow in wor-ship when we find it.

National Migration Week: "Many Journeys, One Family" January 7–14, 2018 “I feel compelled to draw attention to the reality of child migrants, especially the ones who are alone… I ask everyone to help those who, for various reasons, are forced to live far from their homeland and are separated from their fami-lies.” -Pope Francis For nearly a half century, the Catholic Church in the US has celebrated National Migration Week to reflect on the cir-cumstances confronting immigrants, refugees and victims of human trafficking. Today, more than 65 million people are forcibly displaced around the world, and more than 22 million are refugees. The US is the cornerstone of the interna-tional humanitarian system. We must maintain our leadership and protect life-saving U.S. humanitarian assistance. ACTION: Respond to the call and urge your legislators to protect poverty-reducing international assistance and in-clude passage of the Dream Act (H.R. 3440/S. 1615).

La Epifanía del Señor

¿QUÉ PENSARÁN LOS VECINOS? Debió ser algo asombroso el espectáculo en las calles de Belén cuando los magos, observadores de es-trellas, se dirigían a la casa de José (en el Evangelio de San Mateo, la sagrada familia reside en Belén hasta la huida a Egipto). Imaginen las miradas de asombro de los niños del vecindario cuando pasaba esa caravana. Mateo no es muy específico (nunca menciona que eran tres ni los llama “reyes”), pero viajar era difícil en aquellos tiempos, y “seguridad en números” era la regla cuando se hacían viajes largos. Es muy posible que un largo cortejo serpenteaba las calles guiado por aquel lucero. Si el celestial fenómeno que los guiara hasta allí

no había llenado ya de asombro el pueblecito, la llegada de mujeres y hombres (antiguamente los astrólogos e intérpretes de símbolos eran frecuentemente mujeres) con sus dromedarios, extrañas vestiduras, modales ex-tranjeros —¡y regalos!— ciertamente habría atraído a los vecinos. Las noticias viajan muy rápido en los pueb-los pequeños. Imaginen la sorpresa cuando supieron en dónde se habían detenido estos viajeros.

NO SE DEJEN ENGAÑAR Podemos incluir a los magos en nuestra lista de modelos de fe en esta temporada. No eran judíos pero estaban dispuestos a seguir una ruta que los conducía a una insignificante y problemática provincia romana. Cuando fueron guiados hacia la humilde posada de la Sagrada Familia en Belén no dijeron, “¡Ni modo! Este no puede ser el lugar. Es muy humilde, no son suficientemente ricos”. Simplemente se inclinaron y adoraron a Jesús el Cristo, en una escena que prefigura a los discípulos inclinándose a adorarlo más tarde en el Evangelio de Mateo después de su resurrección. Estos buscadores de señales estaban dispuestos a dejarse guiar por su curiosidad, listos a persistir en su jornada, sin saber a dónde los conduciría la búsqueda de su revelación, pero abiertos a su posible presencia en cualquier sitio. Nosotros, como ellos, debemos estar listos para buscar la ep-ifanía, la manifestación de Dios, ansiosamente y honestamente, y preparados para inclinarnos en adoración cuando la encontremos.

Semana Nacional del Migrante Varias Jornadas, Una Sola Familia Enero 7-14, 2018 “Deseo llamar la atención sobre la realidad de los migrantes meno-res de edad, especialmente los que están solos, instando a todos a hacerse cargo de aquellos… que por diversas razones, son forzados a vivir lejos de su tierra natal y separados del afecto de su familia.” -Papa Francisco Durante casi medio siglo, la Iglesia Católica en los Estados Unidos ha celebrado la Semana Nacional del Migrante para reflexionar sobre las circunstancias que enfrentan los inmigrantes, los refugiados y las víctimas de la trata de personas. Hoy en el mundo, más de 65 millones de personas son forzadas a desplazarse de sus hogares, y más de 22 millones son refugiados. Estados Unidos es la piedra angular del sistema humanitario internacional. Debemos mantener nuestro liderazgo y proteger la asistencia humanitaria para salvar vidas. ACCIÓN: Responda al llamado y pídale a sus legisladores que apoyen la asistencia internacional para reducir la po-breza en el mundo e incluya la aprobación del Dream Act (H.R. 3440 / S. 1615).
