PASTOR'S WEEKLY MESSAGE
The Ephiphany of the Lord, January 3rd, 2021

They opened their treasures
Happy New Year to you all! It is my prayer that the blessings of God will be showered
upon you like the dewfall in 2021. I invoke on you again the blessings of God through Aar-
on to the Israelites: “The Lord bless you and keep you! The Lord let his face shine upon you
and be gracious to you! The Lord look upon you kindly and give you peace!” (Numbers
6:24-26).
This Sunday we celebrate the Feast of the Epiphany of the Lord. Epiphany is from the
Greek epiphaneia meaning appearance, manifestation. This feast highlights the revela-
tion of Jesus and his saving mission to the Gentiles and the whole human race. Christ did
not come for the Jews only, he came to save the whole world. This explains why the Magi came from the East
to pay homage to the newborn King. In fact, King Herod did not know what was going on in his own territory
until the Magi told him. The historical identity of the magi is not very clear. Some see them as astrologers from
the East, probably Babylonia, others described them as wise men or kings. An early eastern tradition said that
there were twelve of them, but a more universal tradition says there were three of them.
The idea of three wise men came from the threefold gifts presented to Jesus, as we read in today’s gospel.
The Magi opened their treasures and offered the infant Jesus the gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. These
gifts have significant meanings. Gold is the gift for a king reminding us that Jesus Christ is King not only of the
Jews but of the whole world. The gift of Frankincense, used by the priest in burnt offerings, shows Jesus as the
perfect priest who will offer himself as the lamb of sacrifice on the cross for our sins. The gift of Myrrh, used to
embalm dead bodies or made into a perfume to anoint dead bodies, showed that Christ is to die for the
world.
In the second reading, Paul speaks of the purpose of God’s revelation to us in Jesus Christ: “that the Gentiles
are coheirs, members of the same body, and copartners in the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel.”
We who have received this revelation from God must pass it on to others. To bring everything under Christ, we
must like the Magi seek him every day, come into his presence with thanksgiving in our hearts, and worship
his majesty.
Thank You: Fr. Augustine and I are grateful to you, our dear parishioners, for your Christmas cards, gifts, and
wishes. We appreciate your prayers and thoughtfulness. They are sources of strength for us. This was Fr. Au-
gustine’s first Christmas in the parish, and he is full of gratitude for your sense of faith and love for God. Special
thanks to the various volunteers and lay ministers who helped with decorations, preparations, and celebra-
tion of the liturgies. We thank our children who acted the gospel and showed us the symbols of Christmas at
the Children’s Mass on the eve of Christmas. It was beautiful and it shows that our faith remains alive despite
the pandemic. We pray that the pandemic will soon come to end, and we will be able to worship as normal
again.
Exodus 90: This is a 90-day Catholic spiritual exercise for men that provides a path to freedom through prayer,
asceticism, and fraternity. It begins on January 4th and will end on Easter Day. There is a special blessing at
11:00 AM Mass today for those who have signed up. You can join by visiting www.exodus90.com
Steps for Students: The Annual Steps for Students 5K Run/Walk to support Catholic schools in our archdiocese

port and donation for this event will assist us to continue to carry out our parish mission through Catholic edu-
cation. Details of the event will be communicated soon. Meanwhile, you can register online to participate. I

MENSAJE DEL PÁRROCO
La Epifanía del Señor, 3 de enero de 2021

Abrieron sus Tesoros

¡Feliz Año Nuevo a todos! Estoy orando para que las bendiciones de Dios sean derrama-
das sobre ustedes como la caída de rocío en el 2021. Invoco nuevamente sobre ustedes
las bendiciones de Dios por medio de Aarón a los israelitas: "¡El Señor os bendiga y os
guarde! ¡El Señor deja que su rostro brille sobre ti y sea amable contigo! ¡El Señor te mira
amablemente y te da paz!" (Números 6:24-26).
Este domingo celebramos la fiesta de la Epifanía del Señor. Epifanía proviene del griego
Epiphaneia que significa apariencia, manifestación. Esta fiesta realza la revelación de
Jesús y su misión salvadora a los gentiles y a toda la raza humana. Cristo no vino sólo
por los judíos, sino para salvar al mundo entero. Esto explica por qué los Reyes Magos vinieron de Oriente
para rendir homenaje al Rey recién nacido. De hecho, el rey Herodes no sabía lo que estaba pasando en su
propio territorio hasta que los Reyes Magos se lo dijeron. La identidad histórica de los magos no es muy clara.
Algunos los ven como astrólogos del Este, probablemente de Babilonia, otros los describieron como reyes o
sabios. Una tradición oriental antigua decía que había doce de ellos, sin embargo una tradición más univer-
sal dice que había solamente tres de ellos.
La idea de tres sabios surgió de los tres presentes que se le entregaron a Jesús, tal y como lee en el Evangelio
de hoy. Los Reyes Magos abrieron sus tesoros y ofrecieron al niño Jesús los presentes de oro, incienso y mirra.
Estos presentes son un simbolo significativo. El oro es el don para un rey que nos recuerda que Jesucristo es
rey no sólo de los judíos, sino de todo el mundo. El incienso, que es utilizado por el sacerdote en las ofrendas
ardientes, muestra a Jesús como el sacerdote perfecto que se ofrecerá como el cordero del sacrificio en la
cruz por nuestros pecados. La Mirra, usada para embalsamar cadáveres o convertirse en perfume para ungir
cadáveres, mostró que Cristo iba a morir por el mundo.
En la segunda lectura, Pablo nos habla del propósito de la revelación de Dios en Jesucristo: "que los gentiles
son coherederos, miembros del mismo cuerpo y coparte en la promesa de Cristo Jesús por medio del Evan-
gelio." Los que hemos recibido esta revelación de Dios debemos transmitirla a los demás. Para traer todo bajo
Cristo, debemos ser como los Reyes Magos y buscarlo todos los días, entrar en su presencia con acción de
gracias en nuestros corazones y adorar a Su majestuosidad.
Agradecimiento: El P. Agustín y yo estamos agradecidos con nuestros queridos feligreses, por sus tarjetas de
navidad, presentes y deseos. Agradecemos sus oraciones y consideración. Son fuentes de fuerza para no-
sotros. Esta fue la primera Navidad del P. Agustín en la parroquia, y está lleno de gratitud por su sentido de fe
y amor por Dios. Un agradecimiento especial a los diversos voluntarios y ministros laicos que ayudaron con las
decoraciones, los preparativos y la celebración de las liturgias. Agradecemos a nuestros hijos que actuaron
en el Evangelio y nos mostraron los símbolos de la Navidad en la Misa de los Niños para la víspera Navideña.
Fue hermoso y demuestra que nuestra fe sigue viva a pesar de la pandemia. Oremos para que la pandemia
llegue a su fin, y podamos adorar de nuevo con normalidad.
Exodus 90: Este es un ejercicio espiritual católico de 90 días para hombres, proporcionará un camino hacia la
libertad, a través de la oración, el ascetismo y la fraternidad. Inicia el 4 de enero y terminará el día de Pascua.
Hoy habrá una bendición especial en la Misa de las 11:00 AM para aquellos que se han inscrito. Aún puedes
unirte visitando www.exodus90.com
Pasos por los estudiantes: La carrera/caminata anual de 5k, para apoyar a las escuelas católicas en nuestra
arquidiócesis serán virtuales este año. Nuestra escuela está planeando celebrar el evento aquí en nuestros
terrenos de la iglesia/escuela. Su apoyo y donación para este evento nos ayudará a continuar con nuestra
misión parroquial a través de la educación católica. Los detalles del evento se comunicarán pronto. Mientras
tanto, puede registrarse en línea para participar. Yo me he registrado y busco su apoyo para recaudar fon-
dos para nuestra escuela. Si desea donar, por favor hazlo en línea y apoya mi equipo en:
