EpiphanyoftheLord January3,2021
Message from Father Robert:
There are many unique customs that are associated with today’s feast of the Epiphany, one of them is the announcement of Easter. This was done at a time before printable calendars to announce the most important movable dates on the Liturgical Calendar. Even for today its purpose is important because it shows us the mystery of our salvation throughout the Liturgical year. When it is chanted we get a glimpse of the joy of Easter since it is sung in the same tone as the Exsultet, or the Easter Proclamation which is sung at the Easter Vigil. May God bless us as we enter into the year of our salvation 2021, and since we are still in the Christmas season, Merry Christmas.
Know, dear brethren (brothers and sisters), that, as we have rejoiced at the Nativity of our Lord Jesus Christ, so by leave of God's mercy we announce to you also the joy of his Resurrection, who is our Savior. On the seventeenth day of February will fall Ash Wednesday, and the beginning of the fast of the most sacred Lenten season. On the fourth day of April you will celebrate with joy Easter Day, the Paschal feast of our Lord Jesus Christ. On the thirteenth day of May will be the Ascension of our Lord Jesus Christ. On the twenty-third day of May, the feast of Pentecost. On the sixth day of June, the feast of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ. On the twenty-eighth day of November, the First Sunday of the Advent of our Lord Jesus Christ, to whom is honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen.
EpiphanyoftheLord January3,2021
Mensaje del Padre Robert:
Hay muchas costumbres únicas que se asocian con la fiesta de hoy de la Epifanía, una de ellas es el anuncio de la Pascua. Esto se hizo en un momento antes de los calendarios imprimibles para anunciar las fechas móviles más importantes en el Calendario Litúrgico. Incluso para hoy su propósito es importante porque nos muestra el misterio de nuestra salvación a lo largo del año litúrgico. Cuando se canta, nos vemos la alegría de la Pascua, ya que se canta en el mismo tono que el Exsultet, o la Proclamación pascual que se canta en la Vigilia Pascual. Que Dios nos bendiga al entrar en el año de nuestra salvación 2021, y ya que todavía estamos en la época navideña, Feliz Navidad.
Sepan, queridos hermanos (hermanos y hermanas), que, como nos hemos regocijado en la Natividad de nuestro Señor Jesucristo, así que al permiso de la misericordia de Dios les anunciamos también el gozo de su resurrección, que es nuestro Salvador. El decimoséptimo día de febrero caerá el Miércoles de Ceniza, y el comienzo del ayuno de la temporada más sagrada de Cuaresma. En el cuarto día de abril celebrarás con alegría el día de Pascua, la fiesta pascual de nuestro Señor Jesucristo. El decimotercer día de mayo será la Ascensión de nuestro Señor Jesucristo. En el vigésimo tercer día de mayo, la fiesta de Pentecostés. En el sexto día de junio, fiesta del Santísimo Cuerpo y Sangre de Cristo. En el vigésimo octavo día de noviembre, el primer domingo del Adviento de nuestro Señor Jesucristo, a quien es honor y gloria para siempre y para siempre. Amén.

There is a custom of blessing homes on the Feast of the Epiphany (6 January) when the family gather to ask God’s blessing on their home and family life. It is an invitation for Jesus to be a daily guest in our homes. Instructions for Blessing the Home Using the blessed chalk (which many parishes will bless and make available) mark the lintel of your front door as follows: 20 + C + M + B + 21 saying: The three Wise Men, Caspar, Melchior, and Balthazar followed the star of God’s Son who became human two thousand and twenty-one years ago. May Christ bless our home and remain with us throughout the new year. Amen. Then say the following prayer: Visit, O blessed Lord, this home with the gladness of your presence. Bless all who live or visit here with the gift of your love; and grant that we may manifest your love to each other and to all whose lives we touch. May we grow in grace and in the knowledge and love of you; guide, comfort, and strengthen us in peace, O Jesus Christ, now and forever. Amen.
20 + C + M + B + 21 The letters have two meanings. First, they represent the initials of the Magi — Caspar, Malchior, and Balthazar — who came to visit Jesus in His first home. They also abbreviate the Latin phrase, Christus mansionem benedicat: “May Christ bless the house.” The “+” signs represent the cross, and the “20” at the beginning and the “21” at the end mark the year. Taken together, this inscription is performed as a request for Christ to bless those homes so marked and that He stay with those who dwell therein throughout the entire year.

Existe la costumbre de bendecir los hogares en la fiesta de la Epifanía (6 de enero) cuando la familia se reúne para pedir la bendición de Dios sobre su vida familiar y hogar. Es una invitación para que Jesús sea un invitado diario en nuestros hogares. Instrucciones para bendecir el hogar Usando la tiza bendita (que muchas parroquias bendecirán y pondrán a disposición) marcan el dintel de tu puerta principal de la siguiente manera: 20 + C + M + B + 21 diciendo: Los tres Reyes Magos, Caspar, Melchior y Balthazar siguieron a la estrella del Hijo de Dios que se hizo humano hace dos mil veintiún años. Que Cristo bendiga nuestro hogar y permanezca con nosotros durante todo el nuevo año. Amén. Luego diga la siguiente oración: Visita, oh bendito Señor, este hogar con la alegría de tu presencia. Bendice a todos los que viven o visitan aquí con el don de tu amor; y conceder que podamos manifestar su amor el uno al otro y a todas cuyas vidas tocamos. Que crezcamos en gracia y en el conocimiento y el amor de ti; guía, consuela y fortalecenos en paz, oh Jesucristo, ahora y para siempre. Amén.
20 + C + M + B + 21 Las letras tienen dos significados. En primer lugar, representan las iniciales de los Reyes Magos —Caspar, Malchior y Balthazar— que vinieron a visitar a Jesús en Su primer hogar. También abrevian la frase en latín Christus mansionem benedicat: "Que Cristo bendiga la casa". Los signos "+" representan la cruz, y el "20" al principio y el "21" al final marcan el año. En conjunto, esta inscripción se realiza como una petición para que Cristo bendiga esos hogares tan marcados y que permanezca con los que moran en ellos durante todo el año.
