EPIPHANY OF THE LORD; THREE KINGS

/ From the Pastor, Parish Life, Uncategorized / By

Today we celebrate the Epiphany of the Lord – Three Kings. This is the Solemnity when God reveals His deity to us and to the whole World.

We see this incredible scene in the picture of three wise men – Magi or Kings who were seeking God and they found him in the small baby in the manger in Bethlehem.

This behavior of that three wise men which in the polish tradition we name them Kacper, Melchior and Baltasar is very close to every person who wants to find Jesus Christ in his or her own life.

Therefore in the polish tradition we mark the door of our home with their names to remember that when we exit our home we are on the pilgrimage to find our Lord Jesus Christ on the way through our own lives.

The Eucharist which we now celebrate is like the bus stop on our way to haven where we see our goal – Jesus Christ and after Holy Mass we try to bring him into our life by the commandment of the love to each of our neighbors.

What is the Catholic thing? What makes Catholicism, among all of the competing philosophies, ideologies, and religions of the world, distinctive? I stand with Blessed John Henry Newman who said that the great principle of Catholicism is the Incarnation, the enfleshment of God. (Robert Barron – Catholicism)

One main Point

THE REVELATION OF GOD TO THE WORLD.
The Magi from around the world search for Jesus and pay him homage, while Herod only pretends to do so. At the beginning of the Gospel, these Gentile Astrologers point to the conclusion of the Gospel, when the disciples pay Jesus homage, and Jesus told them to “make disciples of all the Gentiles.” (28:17-20)
