The Solemnity of the Epiphany (January 2, 2022)
While I was studying for my doctorate in Rome, I observed a strange sight in many Italian
churches. The statues of the Three Wise Men were often placed near the church doors, far from the
manger scene in the front. Every day, they were moved closer and closer to crib, until they finally
“arrived” in Bethlehem on January 6 – on the “twelfth day of Christmas” – the traditional day when the
Feast of the Three Kings is celebrated.
Their journey from the back of the church to the crib reminds us of the tradition that the sages’
pilgrimage to see the child Jesus took many months. This is why King Herod, after the seers did not
return to him, ordered all male children in Bethlehem under the age of two to be killed, presumably
because the Child could have been that old by the time of their visit.
Thinking of the Italian custom of moving the statues closer and closer to the crib makes me think
of the way enslaved Black people remembered and told the Epiphany story. The enslaved composed the
sacred Spiritual song, “Rise up, shepherds, and follow.” The refrain goes:
Follow. Follow. Rise up, shepherds, and follow.
Follow the star of Bethlehem.
Rise up, shepherds, and follow.
But notice that it is the shepherds who are told to follow the star. Not the Wise Men or the
Kings. Did the enslaved get the story mixed up? Because they were often illiterate or unable to read,
did they confuse the shepherds (who heard the news of the birth from angels) with the rich nobles who
followed a star? I don’t think so.
I believe that the enslaved Black Christians understood the true meaning of the Epiphany in a
way that others did not or could not. They realized that the birth of Jesus was “good news” for ALL
people. The wealthy and the impoverished. The Jews and the Gentiles. The well-connected and
educated Wise Men and the undocumented and lowly field hands. Therefore, they sang that “star of
Bethlehem” was a sign for everyone that the birth of Jesus was a saving event for all people. The star is
a light to the nations. Epiphany is a manifestation that Jesus is the savior of all peoples.
People around the world celebrate this feast in different ways. But what these various customs
have in common is realizing that the birth of Jesus changed the course of human history. This is the
meaning of that mysterious star that beckoned wealthy kings from a distance and gathered poor
shepherds from their fields. All were summoned, of high and low social status, to recognize the miracle
of God being worked in a small child. That same star summons us to recognize the miracles that God is
working in each of our lives, as we answer the call to live in the light of Christ.
–Fr. Bryan MassingaleReflexión Bíblica:
La Solemnidad de la Epifanía (2 de enero del 2022)
Mientras estudiaba mi doctorado en Roma, observé un espectáculo extraño en muchas iglesias
italianas. Las estatuas de los Reyes Magos a menudo se colocaban cerca de las puertas de la iglesia, lejos de
la escena del pesebre en el frente. Cada día, se acercaron más y más al pesebre, hasta que finalmente
“llegaron” a Belén el 6 de enero, el “duodécimo día de Navidad”, el día tradicional en el que se celebra la
Fiesta de los Reyes Magos.
Su viaje desde la parte trasera de la iglesia hasta el pesebre nos recuerda la tradición de que la peregrinación
de los sabios para ver al niño Jesús tomó muchos meses. Es por eso que el rey Herodes, después de que los
videntes no regresaron a él, ordenó que se matara a todos los niños varones en Belén menores de dos años,
presumiblemente porque el Niño podría haber tenido esa edad en el momento de su visita.
Pensando en la costumbre italiana de mover las estatuas cada vez más cerca de la cuna me hizo
pensar en la forma en que los negros esclavizados recordaron y contaron la historia de la Epifanía. Los
esclavos compusieron el canto espiritual sagrado: "Levántense, pastores y sigan". El estribillo dice:
Sigan. Sigan. Levántense, y sigan.
Sigan la estrella de Belén.
Levántese, Pastores, levántense y sigan.
Pero me doy cuenta que son los pastores a quienes se les dice que sigan la estrella. Ni los sabios ni
los reyes. ¿Los esclavos confundieron la historia? Debido a que a menudo eran analfabetos o no podían leer,
¿confundieron a los pastores (que escucharon la noticia del nacimiento de los ángeles) con los nobles ricos
que seguían una estrella? No lo creo.
Creo que los cristianos negros esclavos entendieron el verdadero significado de la Epifanía de una manera
que otros no entendieron o no pudieron. Se dieron cuenta de que el nacimiento de Jesús era una "buena
noticia" para TODAS las personas. Los ricos y los empobrecidos. Los judíos y los gentiles. Los sabios bien
conectados y educados y los campesinos indocumentados y humildes. Por lo consiguiente cantaron que la
“estrella de Belén” era una señal para todos de que el nacimiento de Jesús era un evento salvador para todas
las personas. La estrella es una luz para las naciones. La Epifanía es una manifestación de que Jesús es el
salvador de todos los pueblos.
Las personas alrededor del mundo celebran esta fiesta de diferentes formas. Pero lo que estas variadas
costumbres tienen en común es darse cuenta de que el nacimiento de Jesús cambió el curso de la historia
humana. Esto significa que la misteriosa estrella llamó a los ricos reyes desde la distancia y reunió a los
pobres pastores en sus tierras. Todos fueron convocados, de altas y bajas clases sociales para reconocer el
milagro de Dios siendo una pequeña criatura. Esa misma estrella nos convoca a reconocer los milagros que
Dios está haciendo en cada una de nuestras vidas, así como nosotros respondemos a nuestro llamado de vivir
en la luz de Cristo.

The Parish of St. Charles Borromeo, Resurrection and All Saints
2022 Announced Masses & Memorials
Dear Parishioners/Friends:
Arranging for a Mass to be offered for the repose of someone’s soul, the anniversary of his/her death for a
birthday blessing, or a special intention, is a traditional, practical, and consoling custom among Catholic people.
Here at the Parish, we invite you to reserve Masses for your loved ones. If you have specific dates and times, we
will try to honor them as best we can. Requests will be entered in the order received. If the date and time you
requested is not available, attempts will be made to schedule the Mass as close as possible to your requested
date and time.
We are trying to make this process as simple as possible for all involved. Please carefully read the instructions
and follow them so that we might accommodate as many requests as possible. The offering of mass intentions is
part of our Catholic liturgical practice so when Mass is reserved, the offering (stipend) of $15 is requested for
both Sunday and Weekday Masses. Unannounced Masses remain at $10. Mass cards are available. For the
time being, a total of 5 intentions will be accepted comprising 2 Sunday Masses and 3 weekday Masses. Due to
the pandemic and the suppression of the 11:45 a.m. Sunday Mass (SCB), we will continue to accept two
intentions at each Mass.
Monday through Saturday, our Daily Weekday Mass Schedule is 8:30 a.m. (SCB)
Saturday Vigil Mass is 5:30 p.m. (SCB, English)
Sunday Masses are 8:00 a.m. (SCB, English), 10:00 a.m. (RES, English), 10:00 a.m. (SCB, English) and
12:00 noon (RES, Spanish)
If you need to make changes, please come to the rectory office or call (212) 281-2100. Please be patient,
compliant and cheerful as we navigate the opening of the Mass book.
In the year 2022 no intentions will be taken on:
Saturday, January 1 (Mary, Mother of God)
March 2 (Ash Wednesday)
April 14 (Holy Thursday)
April 15 (Good Friday)
April 16 (Holy Saturday)
April 17(Easter Sunday)

In addition to the above, two memorials are also offered: The Bread & Wine and the Sanctuary Lamp. The offering for
each memorial is $15 for the week and can be reserved for any special occasion. The name(s) of the person(s) in which
the memorial is being reserved will be published in our weekly bulletin.

PLEASE LIST YOUR MASS & MEMORIAL REQUESTS ON THE BACK OF THIS FORM.Kwanzaa---December 26
(A catechesis for both our young and old. Please stop at our display case in our vestibule.)
What are the seven principles of Kwanzaa?
There are seven principles of Kwanzaa, or Nguzo Saba. The seven candles, or the mishumaa
saba, each stand for a different principle.
What do the 7 candles/principles in Kwanzaa stand for?
1. Umoja: Unity.
2. Kujichagulia: Self-Determination.
3. Ujima: Collective Work and Responsibility.
4. Ujamaa: Cooperative Economics.
5. Nia: Purpose.
6. Kuumba: Creativity.
7. Imani: Faith.
How do you explain Kwanzaa to kids?
Kwanzaa is a week-long holiday celebration that honors pan-African heritage, African
American culture, and unity through seven core principles, one for each day of the
celebration. There are Kwanzaa activities for adults and kids as a family. Traditions include
exchanging gifts and a feast based on traditional African harvest festivals. For many, Kwanzaa
is an additional celebration to Christmas, not something that replaces Christmas.
What order do you light Kwanzaa candles?
The black candle is the first Kwanzaa candle lit in the kinara, or candle holder. The next candle
lit is the red candle on the end and it alternates between the red and green candles, left to
right, working outward in. One candle is lit each night of Kwanzaa, so the first night you’ll do
Kwanzaa Umoja activities, the second night of Kwanzaa you’ll do Kuji, etc.
Kwanzaa Daily Activities: Order You Light Kwanzaa Candles for the Kwanzaa 7 Days
Kwanzaa Day 1: Black Candle for Umoja
Kwanzaa Day 2: Red Candle (left side on the end) for Kuji.
Kwanzaa Day 3: Green Candle (right side on end) for Ujima.
Kwanzaa Day 4: Red Candle (next to the previously lit Red Candle) for Ujamaa.
Kwanzaa Day 5: Green Candle (back on right side next to previously lit green
candle) for Kwanzaa Nia.
Kwanzaa Day 6: Last Red Candle for Kuumba.
