PARTNERS IN THE PROMISE

As a society, during these days we can be in something of a “postpartum” depression. Our celebrations of Christmas and the New Year are over, and after today many of us will put away the decorations and the last visible remnants of the celebrations of the past weeks. The apostle Paul today uses the expression “partners in the promise.” This is an uplifting phrase for us to reflect upon, and to think of as our own calling in these days following the birth of the Lord. What is this promise? We can find it in the gifts the magi bring: it is a promise of being a royal priesthood (gold), a holy nation (frankincense), a people set apart for self-giving (myrrh). We find more of the promise in Isaiah—a light shines upon us! In the psalm we know a promise of a world of flowering justice, profound peace, the poor rescued, pity for the lowly and the poor. This is the promise; and one of the best ways for us to lift ourselves out of any possible low spirits we may be suffering is to live out our partnership in this promise each and every day.

PARTICIPANTES EN LA PROMESA

Las celebraciones de Navidad y Año Nuevo se han terminado, y después de hoy Día de los Reyes Magos, muchos de nosotros guardaremos las decoraciones y los últimos vestigios de las celebraciones de las semanas pasadas. El apóstol Pablo usa la expresión “participantes de la promesa”. Esta es una frase digna de reflexionar, y de pensar que es nuestro llamado en estos días después del nacimiento del Señor. ¿Cuál es esta promesa? Podemos encontrarla en los regalos que traen los magos: la promesa de ser un sacerdocio real (oro), una nación santa (incienso), un pueblo escogido para dar de sí (mirra). Encontramos otro aspecto de la promesa en Isaías ¡una luz que nos alumbra! En el salmo encontramos la promesa de un mun-do en donde florece la justicia, la paz profunda, los pobres rescatados, pie-dad para los humildes y los pobres. Esta es la promesa; y una de las mejores maneras de continuar el espíritu de generosidad navideña es vivir día a día nuestra parte como participantes en esta promesa. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Epiphany celebrates the wake up calls of life, the showings of God’s majesty and power in the person of Jesus. The feast alerts us to look for signs of the Lord’s grace and action in our lives today. In this context, the call of the Second Vatican Council to reform the sacramental life of the Church, including our pattern of care for the sick, is indeed a holy awakening. Prior to the 1960s, our care for the sick had collapsed in the popular imagination into something everyone called “last rites.” An immensely complicated ritual, with anointing accompanied by quickly muttered Latin prayers, was enacted for a marginally conscious person at “death’s door.” By the time a priest was called, the sick person might not be able to receive viaticum, or derive much personal benefit from the ritual. The healing effects of the sacrament, investing suffering with the dignity of a link to Christ’s cross, and the immense assurance of forgiveness for a person reviewing the life journey, were hidden. Suddenly, an epiphany swept through the Church, and the way we care for the sick was utterly transformed. It took several centuries, however, for the Church to reach that moment of renewal.

We all know that Christmas officially begins on Christmas Eve, but when does Christmas end? On the Feast of the Epiphany (celebrated either on January 6 or on the Sunday between January 2 and January 8), the Church celebrates the event where the Magi, also called the Three Wise Men or Three Kings, traveled from the East to pay homage to the newborn King, Jesus Christ. Many Catholics believe that this is the date when the Christmas season officially ends, being the end of the 12 days of Christmas. In older traditions (which are still kept in the liturgical calendar of the Extraordinary Form of the Mass) Christmas lasted until Candle-mas, or the Feast of the Purification of Mary and the Presentation of the Lord, which isn’t until February 2nd. This marked the end of a long 40 day “Christmastide” that corresponded to the 40 days of Lent. On February 2nd the Church celebrates the day that Mary entered the temple with the Child Jesus when her days of purification after giving birth were fulfilled (according to the Mosaic law) and when Simeon made his well-known prophecy about Mary and the Child. It is called “Candle-mas” because of Simeon’s prophecy of Jesus being a light for the Gentiles.

Another element to throw into the mix is that the “octave” of Christmas ends on the eighth day after Christmas, which is January 1 and the Feast Day of Mary, the Mother of God. Major feast days are usually celebrated not just during 24 hours, but given the honor of an octave (8 days) which is a custom that traces its roots to Old Testament feasts. The end of the octave can been seen as the end of the Christmas feast proper, after which begins the longer Christmas season that extends either to the Baptism of the Lord for the Ordinary Form (this year January 12, or the Sunday after Epiphany) or the Presentation of the Lord for the Extraordinary Form (February 2). However this understanding of a proper Christmas ‘feast’ in some traditions is also associated with the 12 Days of Christmas which culminates on Epiphany.

Confusing? You bet. Unfortunately the confusion is not cleared by going deeper into Church history.

A Bit of History on the Feast of the Epiphany

The feast of the Epiphany originated in the East as a major feast day. The name Epiphany, meaning ‘manifestation’ or ‘theophany’ (understood particularly as a manifestation of Israel’s Messiah to the Gentile nations), has also been associated with the other biblical manifestations of Christ. Historically, at least three events were celebrated on the same January 6 feast day—the feast of the Nativity (not Dec. 25), the visit from the Magi, and the Lord’s Baptism—in various locations in the first centuries of Christianity, and sometimes also a fourth, Christ’s first miracle at the wedding feast of Cana. It was called generally the feast of the Epiphany because these were all epiphanies of Christ. Eastern Rite Catholics today, for example, celebrate the ‘epiphany’ of the Lord’s baptism on January 6, and not primarily the ‘epiphany’ of the visit from the Three Wise Men, while Latin Rite Catholics currently celebrate these two feasts on consecutive Sundays.

To make things even more confusing, the visit from the Magi that is today most associated with Epiphany in the Latin Rite likely occurred after the Presentation in the Temple (which is celebrated on February 2), because it was after the Magi visited the Holy Family that they fled to Egypt to escape Herod’s murderous threats.

So, When Does Christmas End?

When Christmas ends depends on the Rite (Latin or Eastern), the liturgical calendar (Ordinary or Extraordinary), and whether you’re looking for the end of the Christmas ‘feast’ or the end of the Christmas ‘season’. But overall, here is what sounds good to me:

The Christmas feast itself ends on the final day of its octave, which is the feast of Mary, the Mother of God, on January 1st. Keep your feasting and merriment going for the full 8 days.

The ‘peak’ of the Christmas ‘season’ is Epiphany, the end of the 12 Days of Christmas. Jesus is now revealed as a light to the Gentile nations. Keep your Christmas decorations, especially your Christmas lights, up at least until this day is over; or better, 8 days for the full octave.

The official end of the Christmas season is the Baptism of the Lord the following weekend (the end of the octave of Epiphany), after which Ordinary Time begins. Keep your nativity scene displayed up through this day or until the Presentation of the Lord on February 2nd.

These are just suggestions of course. The varying Christmas traditions reflect the universal nature of the Church (all tribes and tongues!) which has been going strong for 2,000 years. Everyone is on the same page generally speaking in keeping the feast of Christmas, even though there have naturally arisen differences over the millenia in exactly how this is done from place to place.

“Catholics Returning Home” Do you know someone who has left the Church? Most of us do not have to look very far to find non-practicing “Catholics” in our circle of family and friends. Obviously, most of them are searching, but how can we help them find their way home?

As baptized practicing Catholics we have a precious gift of faith and love from the Lord that needs to be shared with our non-practicing brothers and sisters. First, we need to pray for them. Secondly, we need to extend a personal invitation to them to come home to the Catholic Church. Most non-practicing Catholics are waiting for an invitation to return. Many mistakenly think they are not welcome to return for a variety of reasons. Many non-practicing Catholics carry a tremendous amount of guilt and misinformation about the Church so they are afraid of approaching the Church for fear of being rejected. You can make a tremendous difference in someone’s life simply by reaching out to them and telling them that we miss them and would like for them to come back home to our Church family. St. Anthony’s Parish in Upland has a special program to help non-practicing Catholics return to the Church called “Catholics Returning Home”. This 6 week series begins Thursday, January 8, 2015 at 7:30 PM in room 9 in their hall. Please pass this article on to anyone who might be interested. For more information about Catholics Returning Home call Bill Thurin at 909-225-4498 or CRH123@charter.net .
