THREE KINGS – SOLEMNITY OF THE EPIPHANY OF THE LORD

/ From the Pastor, Parish Life / By
A mosaic of the Three Kings on the facade of the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem

Today we celebrate the Epiphany of the Lord. 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 seek God and they found him in the form of the small baby in the manger in Bethlehem.

This behavior of that three wise men which in the polish tradition we call 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 every step out is for the finding of our Lord Jesus Christ on the way through our own lives.

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

“They prostrated themselves and did him homage.”

  • Really thank you to everyone who was involved in the Christmas Caroling through Fells Point.
  • Evangelization is in no small part about accessibility. Make your parish accessible; make the extra effort. Like the young Samuel, let your first priority be a basic one: Open the temple doors.
  • 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)
  •  My Warmly Thank You to all of the people who remember of me and my family by the presents and the donations. Be sure that you are in my prayers before the Alter.

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)
