PASTOR'S WEEKLY MESSAGE
Epiphany of the Lord, January 2, 2022

Following the Star

Happy New Year 2022! I pray that we will all experience the blessings and joy of the Lord during this year.
We celebrate the feast of the Epiphany of the Lord today when the Lord revealed himself to all nations.
Jesus Christ who was born a Jew but whose mission is for all peoples revealed himself to the Gentiles
represented by the Magi from the East. The story of the magi is found only in the gospel of Matthew.
It described how they saw a star and had intuited that something new and unique had happened. The
Magi were well known as astronomers and interpreters of omens and dreams. They were conscious of
the world around them as they identified different stars and their movements. They noticed something un-
usual about a particular star and decided to search for its meaning. Their knowledge was not complete,
but they decided to go in search of full knowledge and truth. This led them to a little village of Bethle-
hem where they found Jesus Christ, the newborn Messiah, the Word that became flesh for our salvation.
For the Magi to follow the star, they had to let go of many other comforts, including their familiar world. They had to endure un-
told hardships on their way, yet they did not allow the star to get away from their sight. The star led them to Jesus, the prince of
peace. When they found Jesus, they felt fulfilled, paid homage, and presented gifts to him. Tradition has it that the magi were
three kings. If they were kings, they surely recognized in the baby Jesus a King who is more than other kings and so they paid him
homage. This was unlike Herod who not only did not recognize the supremacy of Christ but perceived him as an enemy. Herod
was a self-centered and selfish man who brutally murdered little and innocent children in his quest to keep his power and position.
We are all looking for fulfillment in life. We are on a journey to fulfill our dreams, our vocations. On this path, the ‘star’ that appeared at
the beginning may soon begin to fade and we may start to lose hope. The magi for a while lost the star or rather, they did not see clear-
ly where the star was leading them. They got confused and had to ask questions as they progressed on their journey. As they asked
questions, they also reflected on what they were experiencing. They were single-minded and refused to be put off by difficulties and
trials. We are to imitate them. A fulfilled life is not without hardship and difficulty. Our doubts must not make us lose faith, but rather we
are to press on and find the star again. The Magi experienced difficulties along the way but because they were focused, they found
Christ. They presented gifts to Jesus, but they were the ones who received the most important gift - knowing Jesus as the King. As we
dream and strive to achieve our goals, unlike Herod, we must think of the common good rather than our individual selfish interests.
Masses Moving to FLC, Help Needed: Our Masses are moving to the Family Life Center (FLC) next Saturday for us to be able to
put a new floor and new pews in the Church. When the FLC gets filled, there will be overflow in St. Mary’s Hall and McGivney Hall
for the 9am, 11am and the 1pm Masses. I know this will be inconvenient for everyone, but I beg for your understanding. This last
phase of our project will be completed by the middle of March if there are no delays. Please pray for this. Meanwhile, we need lots
of physical help on Monday, January 3rd for us to unbolt the pews and carry them out of the church so that we can begin to lay the
new floor in the church and chapel. Helpers should arrive at about 8am in the church. Please come with your wrench and gloves. The
pews will be given to some churches and individuals that can use them. Thank you so much for your help and support of our parish.
New Liturgical Directives: Effective today January 2nd, our archbishop, Daniel Cardinal DiNardo has removed the dispensation
from the Sunday and Holy Day Mass obligation for all Catholics within the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston. However, this
obligation is not morally binding for those who find it impossible to attend Mass, e.g., due to illness, advanced age, caring for a sick
person, or being at high risk for contracting COVID-19 (cf. CIC, 1248). Those persons should fulfill their obligations through some
act of prayer or meditation upon the sacred scriptures for the Mass of the day. We will also resume the use of holy water in fonts and
stoups. For the time being, the suspension of receiving the Precious Blood from a common chalice remains in effect.

MENSAJE DEL PÁRROCO
Epifanía del Señor, 2 de enero de 2022
Siguiendo la Estrella
¡Feliz Año Nuevo 2022! Ruego que todos experimentemos las bendiciones y el gozo del Señor durante este año. Hoy celebramos la
fiesta de la Epifanía del Señor, cuando el Señor se reveló a todas las naciones. Jesucristo, que nació judío
pero cuya misión es para todos los pueblos, se reveló a los gentiles representados por los Magos de Oriente.
La historia de los magos se encuentra sólo en el evangelio de Mateo. Describe cómo veían una estrella e
intuian que algo nuevo y único había sucedido. Los Reyes Magos eran bien conocidos como astrónomos
e intérpretes de presagios y sueños. Eran conscientes del mundo que los rodeaba mientras identificaban
diferentes estrellas y sus movimientos. Ellos al notar algo inusual en una estrella en particular decidieron
buscar su significado. Su discernimiento no estaba completo, sin embargo decidieron ir en busca del pleno
conocimiento y la verdad. Esto los llevó a un pequeño pueblo de Belén donde encontraron a Jesucristo, el
Mesías recién nacido, el Verbo que se hizo carne para nuestra salvación.

Para que los Reyes Magos siguieran la estrella, tuvieron que dejar de lado muchas otras comodidades, incluido su mundo familiar.
Tuvieron que soportar dificultades incalculables en su camino, pero no permitieron que la estrella se alejara de su vista. La estrella
los llevó a Jesús, el príncipe de la paz. Cuando encontraron a Jesús, se sintieron realizados, le rindieron homenaje y le presentaron
regalos. La tradición dice que los magos eran tres reyes. Si eran reyes, seguramente reconocían en el niño Jesús a un Rey que es
más que otros reyes y así le rindieron homenaje. Esto fue diferente con Herodes, quien no sólo no reconoció la supremacía de Cristo,
sino que lo percibió como un enemigo. Herodes fue un hombre egocéntrico y egoísta que asesinó brutalmente a niños pequeños e
inocentes en su búsqueda por mantener su poder y posición.

Todos estamos buscando la plenitud en la vida. Estamos en un camino para cumplir nuestros sueños, nuestras vocaciones. En este
camino, la "estrella" que apareció al principio pronto puede comenzar a desvanecerse y podemos comenzar a perder la esperanza.
Los magos por un tiempo perdieron la estrella o mejor dicho, no vieron claramente a dónde los llevaba la estrella. También, se con-
fundieron y tuvieron que hacer preguntas a medida que avanzaban en su viaje. Mientras hacían preguntas, también reflexionaban
sobre lo que estaban experimentando. Eran de mente única y se negaban a desanimarse por las dificultades y las pruebas. Nosotros,
debemos imitarlos. Una vida plena no está exenta de penurias y dificultades. Nuestras dudas no deben hacernos perder la fe, sino
que debemos seguir adelante y encontrar la estrella de nuevo. Los Reyes Magos experimentaron dificultades en el camino, pero
debido a que estaban enfocados, encontraron a Cristo. Ellos le presentaron regalos a Jesús, pero en realidad fueron ellos los que re-
cibieron el regalo más importante: conocer a Jesús como el Rey. A diferencia de Herodes, a medida que soñamos y nos esforzamos
por alcanzar nuestras metas, debemos pensar en el bien común en lugar de nuestros intereses egoístas individuales.

Las Misas se mudan al FLC. Necesitamos Ayuda: Nuestras misas se mudarán al Centro de Vida Familiar (FLC) el próximo
sábado para que podamos poner un nuevo piso y nuevos bancos en la Iglesia. Cuando el FLC se llene, habrá disponibilidad en St.
Mary's Hall y McGivney Hall para las misas de 9 am, 11 am y 1 pm. Sé que esto será un inconveniente para todos, pero ruego de su
comprensión. Esta última fase de nuestro proyecto se completará a mediados de marzo si no hay retrasos. Por favor, oren por esto.
Mientras tanto, necesitamos mucha ayuda física el lunes 3 de enero para que podamos desatornillar los bancos y sacarlos de la
iglesia para que podamos comenzar a colocar el nuevo piso en la iglesia y la capilla. Los ayudantes deben llegar alrededor de las 8
am a la iglesia. Por favor, venga con su llave inglesa y guantes. Los bancos se entregarán a algunas iglesias e individuos que puedan
usarlos. Muchas gracias por su ayuda y apoyo a nuestra parroquia.

Nuevas Directrices Litúrgicas: A partir de hoy 2 de enero, nuestro arzobispo, Daniel el cardenal DiNardo, ha eliminado la dispen-
sa de la obligación de la Misa dominical y de Días Santos para todos los católicos dentro de la Arquidiócesis de Galveston-Hous-
ton. Sin embargo, esta obligación no es moralmente vinculante para aquellos que encuentran imposible asistir a misa, por ejemplo,
debido a una enfermedad, edad avanzada, cuidado de una persona enferma o estar en alto riesgo de contraer COVID-19 (cf. CIC,
1248). Esas personas deben cumplir con sus obligaciones a través de algún acto de oración o meditación sobre las sagradas escrit-
uras para la Misa del día. También, retomaremos el uso del agua bendita en fuentes y estopas. Por el momento, la suspensión de
recibir la Preciosa Sangre de un cáliz común sigue vigente.
