News From The Streets…
What Makes A Grown Man Cry?
By Mary Martha Primerano
During this Christmas season when families and friends
come together to celebrate with joy the opposite can be
true for some of our homeless friends when loneliness can
set in. While traveling through downtown we noticed a gen-
tleman pushing a wheelchair across the street. We stopped,
and asked him if he would like some food. He thought for
small moment and said yes! We then agreed to meet down
the block in a parking lot. Tony was a small framed gentle-
man, wearing a camouflage vest and pants. In his pocket he
was carrying a small vase which we quickly discovered was
his dad. During the course of our conversation you could
see that he was very proud of his war veteran father. He
told us he had been dead for about 2 year now, and was
carrying a portion of his ashes around with him. After load-
ing Tony down with food and clothing we began to ask him
questions like what brought you to Houston? How long
have you been here? Where is your family? I ask these
questions because I would like to hear their story. A lot of
time we don’t get the luxury of knowing, but we still love and
minister to them anyway.
While speaking to Tony initially, he did not seem to have a
care in the world. In fact the reason he was here in Texas
was for a lady, 3 ladies in fact, in 3 different cities. What do
you think about that he said, and now he finds himself being
stolen from and just being released from jail? I do know
someone who knows him better than he knows himself. I told
him about the Lord, and he said that he did have a relation-
ship with Him. As we parted, we offered prayer and with all
heads bowed, we thanked God together for the sunny day,
and then words like reconnect, restore, repair, bring togeth-
er and reconcile began to flow. All of a sudden Tony be-
gan to weep like a baby - and this was not a pretty cry. He
then reached out to hug and thank us for stopping to pray
and care for his needs.
On this same morning we ran into another homeless friend
who we will call Kendall. As we began to catch up with
Kendall we thought our friend was African American, but
as it turns out his family lives in Orlando, Florida, and was
Alice Lopez (1/1) Jane Colunga (1/5)
originally from Haiti. Indeed we were surprised and again Diorica Almand (1/1) Hilda Munguia (1/5)
when it came time to pray the words reconnect and recon- Nancy Guerrero (1/1) Ethan Martinez (1/5)
cile were used. With that Kendall began to pat his heart Fr. Richard Paulissen MM Kayla Orozco (1/5)
and reached out to hug us. He said our prayers had a way (1/1) Bruce Omegbe (1/5)
of getting to him. I believe this was only the work of God’s Romalinda Martinez (1/1) Rosa Polk (1/5)
Holy Spirit also known as the Comforter. John 14:16 Justine Pemberton (1/1) Monika Cerda (1/6)
“And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Suzanne Yagolly (1/1) David Casas (1/6)
helper, to be with you forever.” As the Christmas season Aghogho Idiaghe (1/1) Jeanette Mireles (1/6)
whirls past us remember to reach out to the lonely and for- Briana Espinoza (1/1) Michael Jakab (1/6)

PAGINA 6 DOMINGO DE LA EPIFANIA DEL SEÑOR, CICLO B 3 DE ENERO DELL 2021
“QUE TE ADOREN, SEÑOR, TODOS LOS PUEBLOS”
VENIMOS DE ORIENTE PARA ADORAR AL REY
Mateo 2,1-12. El Llamado de la Belleza.- La so-
lemnidad de la epifanía debería ir precedida de aque-
llo que decimos en el prefacio de la Santa Misa:
"¡levantemos el corazón!" Dios se manifiesta en Je-
sús: tal es el contenido maravilloso, inagotable, pre-
cioso sobre toda hermosura, de esta fiesta singular.
Ahora pues que la Belleza Increada deja escuchar su
voz, y somos convocados a gozarnos en la visión del
Eterno, vengan a acompañarnos y sean guías nues-
tros: un corazón contemplativo, unos oídos capaces
de escuchar y un corazón capaz de acoger. Jesús en-
tero podría llamarse como se llama esta fiesta: Epi-
fanía. "Quien me ha visto a mí, ha visto al Padre",
dijo él una vez a Felipe (Jn 14,9), y muchas veces a
nosotros. Nos lo repite cada vez que sentimos lo que
sintió Felipe: "Muéstranos al Padre, y eso nos bas-
ta" (Jn 14,8). ¿Has conocido la punzante inquietud
que sienten los niños que nunca han conocido a su
papá, especialmente cuando llegan a la juventud?
¿Has visto con qué ansiedad buscan ese rostro, esa
referencia existencial, esa primera clave de lectura
que sólo un papá puede darles? Algo así tiene el al-
ma humana, algo incisivo, que nada puede apagar, algo que nos dice gritar con Felipe. "¡muéstranos
al Padre!". La respuesta a este clamor, el descanso de esta zozobra es Jesús: ver a Jesús, reposar en
Jesús. Él es nuestra epifanía.
El Llamado de la Humildad.- Solemos imaginar lo más bello como más oner oso. Los per fumes
delicados, los vestidos finos, las joyas fastuosas significan siempre precios inalcanzables, dinero a
montones, costos imposibles. No es así con Jesús. El más bello es también el más humilde; el más
santo es también el más cercano; el más sabio es también el más comprensible; el más puro es tam-
bién el más amigable y el más acogedor. Su grandeza no nos aplasta sino que nos levanta; su pureza
no nos humilla sino que nos limpia. Eso es lo grande de esta Epifanía. Jesús es el llamado de la belle-
za sin límites pero también de la humildad sin límites. Porque, en el fondo, la humildad es bella y la
belleza es humilde. Un rostro hermoso y petulante puede halagar los sentidos, pero a precio de entris-
tecer el alma, y eso en realidad no es hermosura. Sólo Jesús, en la dulce paz de su presencia sin escán-
dalos, en la serena palabra de su corazón cargado de amor, puede manifestar al hombre esa belleza
que no cansa, que no se repite, que siempre refresca. ¡Bendita Epifanía, cúbrenos de tu esplendor y
enséñanos el camino a la Felicidad Perpetua!
Fr. Nelson Medina F., O.P
