St. Edward Catholic Church January 5, 2014 The Epiphany of the Lord In Choosing to be Born for Us, God Chose to be Known by Us A sermon by St Peter Chrysologus For us, Christ is everything. We begin in each day in his presence. We are his people, from many walks of life, and from many nations and languages. We adore the Lord, address him with the psalms of our ancestors and enter the sacred Liturgy, the source and summit in our life in Christ. Through our Catechetical programs we pass on the faith both to adults and children, training in holiness which calls us to a Holy life distinguished above all in the art of prayer. Rising from prayer we minister to the needs of those who ask our help, with food and other assistance. We are the people of St. Edward Catholic Church in Newark, California. Christ is everything. If you have a wound to heal, he is the doctor; if you are in need of help, he is strength; if you fear death, he is life; if you desire Heaven, he is the way; if you are in the darkness, he is light. Blessed are they who hope in him! In the mystery of our Lord’s incarnation there were clear indications of his eternal Godhead. Yet the great events we celebrate today disclose and reveal in different ways the fact that God himself took a human body. Mortal man, enshrouded always in darkness, must not be left in ignorance, and so be deprived of what he can understand and retain only by grace. In choosing to be born for us, God chose to be known by us. He therefore reveals himself in this way, in order that this great sacrament of his love may not be an occasion for us of great misunderstanding. Today the Magi find, crying in a manger, the one they have followed as he shone in the sky. Today the Magi see clearly, in swaddling clothes, the one they have long awaited as he lay hidden among the stars. Today the Magi gaze in deep wonder at what they see: heaven on earth, earth in heaven, man in God, God in man, one whom the whole universe cannot contain now enclosed in a tiny body. As they look, they believe and do not question, as their symbolic gifts bear witness: incense for God, gold for a king, myrrh for one who is to die. So the Gentiles, who were the last, become the first: the faith of the Magi is the first fruits of the belief of the Gentiles. Today Christ enters the Jordan to wash away the sin of the world. John himself testifies that this is why he has come: Behold the Lamb of God, behold him who takes away the sins of the world. Today a servant lays his hand on the Lord, a man lays his hand on God, John lays his hand on Christ, not to forgive but to receive forgiveness. Today, as the psalmist prophesied: The voice of the Lord is heard above the waters. What does the voice say? This is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased. Today the Holy Spirit hovers over the waters in the likeness of a dove. A dove announced to Noah that the flood had (Continued on page 3) St. Edward Catholic Church Schedule for Holy Mass Horario de la Santa Misa 5:00 pm Saturday 5788 Thornton Ave. Newark, CA 94560 (510) 797-0241 En Español Clergy Rev.

The sign is no longer an olive-shoot of the old stock: instead, the Spirit pours out on Christ’s head the full richness of a new anointing by the Father, to fulfil what the psalmist had prophesied: Therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows. Today Christ works the first of his signs from heaven by turning water into wine. But water has still to be changed into the sacrament of his blood, so that Christ may offer spiritual drink from the chalice of his body, to fulfil the psalmist’s prophecy: How excellent is my chalice, warming my spirit. THE LIGHT OF FAITH The first reading today is charged with the glory of the Lord. Everyone who can come to the holy city does come—whole caravans of people of all ages on foot and on dromedaries and camels. This description of an irresistible light-filled city prepares us for the story of the magi. They are guided by their own lights—their study of astronomy and astrology—and by the light of a peculiar star. Their study tells them that an unusual event in the heavens is a sign of an extraordinary birth on earth. They mean to find out about this, and they set out with gifts worthy of a king. They are welcomed into an insignificant house in Bethlehem, offer gifts befitting a king, and receive the gift of faith. Paul reinforces the great gift of faith available to the Gentiles, whom the magi represent. What they have seen has changed them, just as it changed Paul and all who heeded his proclamation. Like the magi and like Paul, we are invited to receive this life that is filled with the light of faith. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Celebramos a festa da Epifania: este vocábulo grego significa "manifestação". Exemplo de uma manifestação é quando se faz um evento que chegue ao conhecimento do maior número de pessoas possível; pode ser uma manifestação de protesto, de solidariedade, ou mesmo uma representação teatral. No que diz respeito a festa que a Igreja hoje celebra, estamos diante de uma manifestação de Deus. É a festa na qual Deus se manifesta a todos os povos. Ele quebra o vínculo com o povo de Israel para estendê-lo a toda a humanidade. A manifestação de Deus em Jesus não é destinada a um grupo restrito de pessoas, mas inclui todo o mundo como mostra o texto evangélico. Nele, aparecem três grupos de pessoas e sua relação com o recém-nascido em Belém: os magos, Herodes e os doutores da Lei e os escribas. O termo "mago" é muito vago, mas de certo modo, refere-se aos espertos na observação dos astros, aos astrólogos. Tinham conhecimento da espera messiânica pelos judeus e tendo recebido uma indicação do nascimento do Messias, põem-se a caminho. Conhecem a direção, mas não sabem exatamente o que os espera. Estão a caminho. Vêm do Oriente e enfrentam todos os incômodos de uma viagem cansativa até Belém em busca do Messias que nasceu. Representam todos os pagãos, chamados a crer em Cristo. Representam todos nós. Representam a caminhada de todos os povos, anunciada pelo profeta Isaías na I leitura: "os povos caminham à tua luz e os reis ao clarão de tua aurora" (Is 60,1-6). A viagem dos magos é imagem do caminho de fé e de esperança que o homem de cada tempo realiza até Deus. A fé é sempre uma busca. Aquele que crê está sempre a caminho. Chegando em Jerusalém, são enviados a um outro lugar. Agora, sabem com mais precisão onde podem encontrar o rei. De fato, os escribas são espertos na Sagrada Escritura e dela deduzem o lugar de nascimento do Messias, Belém da Judeia: "E tu, Belém, terra de Judá, de modo algum és a menor entre as principais cidades de Judá, porque de ti sairá um chefe que vai ser o pastor de Israel, o meu povo". Os magos, que são pagãos, perseveram na busca do rei, pondo-se de novo a caminho. Por sua vez, os escribas para quem nasceu o rei, mostramse indiferentes. Assim, o texto bíblico apresenta um grande contraste: os de fora (magos) buscam e encontram o Salvador e os de dentro (Herodes e os habitantes de Jerusalém) ficam indiferentes, rejeitam, têm medo. Herodes que defendia seu reino com violência e era odiado pelos judeus porque favorecia o império romano, agora, sente-se incomodado pela notícia do nascimento do rei dos judeus. Ele queria matar o menino, como demonstra a matança dos inocentes. Herodes significa todos aqueles que são tão apegados aos próprios interesses que não deixam nenhum espaço para este menino; consideram a este importuno e ameaçador. Finalmente, a luz guia os magos até o menino; essa luz é símbolo de Cristo, luz do mundo. Ele nos chama a si através de uma grande variedade de sinais e indicadores luminosos, como a Palavra de Deus. Os magos veem o menino, dão-se conta que Ele não apresenta nenhum poder externo, nenhum esplendor; mas mediante a fé, O reconhecem como Rei, Senhor e Pastor da humanidade. Seus presentes também são uma forma de reconhecimento: ouro, incenso e mirra. Ouro destinado aos reis, incenso destinado a Deus e mirra, planta medicinal de onde se extrai uma resina, que misturada a óleos, era usada como óleo curativo, cosmético e unções religiosas: Jesus é o Messias, o Cristo, o Ungido. Os magos do Oriente não eram nem reis, nem três, nem se chamavam Gaspar, Melquior e Baltasar como apresenta a tradição popular. Isto não corresponde ao texto bíblico. Porém, esta tradição corresponde ao espírito do Evangelho. São representados por um jovem, um adulto e um ancião; um asiático, um europeu e um africano (o mundo de então, já que as Américas e a Oceania não tinham sido "descobertas".). Tudo isto para significar que todas as idades e todas as pessoas caminham em direção a esta estrela que é Cristo, luz do mundo.Jesus veio para todos nós: para os jovens e os idosos, para os sábios e os simples, para as pessoas de qualquer cor e de qualquer forma de vida, a fim de mostrar-nos Deus como Nosso Pai e ser uma Luz para a nossa vida. Como magos, não devemos deixar nos desviar do caminho que é Jesus, e sim sermos guiados por Deus, até atingirmos a meta. Podemos estar longe ou podemos estar perto, mas que estejamos a caminho! - Dom Henrique Soares de Costa MINISTERIOS PARA A MISSA DOMINGO 9 CELEBRANTE: Pe Antonio Reis HOSPITALIDADE: Maria Simas e Antonio Borba MESTRE DE CERIMONIAS: Daniel Silva MUSICA: Maria Clementina, Jose Carreiro, e João Silveira CANTICOS: Antonio Sousa, Isabel Reis, Rita Fonte, Magarida Filipe, Lucia Valdão, Filomena Vieira, e Lucia Martins LEITORES: 1a. leitura: Helena Silva Salmo: Helena Silva 2a.

INTENCAO DA MISSA: ANUNCIOS: Isabel Reis BOLETIM: Paul Moreira Advertising page Advertising page Mary, Virgin and Mother, you who, moved by the Holy Spirit, welcomed the word of life in the depths of your humble faith: as you gave yourself completely to the Eternal One, help us to say our own “yes” to the urgent call, as pressing as ever, to proclaim the good news of Jesus. Filled with Christ’s presence, you brought joy to John the Baptist, making him exult in the womb of his mother. Brimming over with joy, you sang of the great things done by God. Standing at the foot of the cross with unyielding faith, you received the joyful comfort of the resurrection, and joined the disciples in awaiting the Spirit so that the evangelizing Church might be born. Obtain for us now a new ardour born of the resurrection, that we may bring to all the Gospel of life which triumphs over death. Give us a holy courage to seek new paths, that the gift of unfading beauty may reach every man and woman. Virgin of listening and contemplation, Mother of love, Bride of the eternal wedding feast, pray for the Church, whose pure icon you are, that she may never be closed in on herself or lose her passion for establishing God’s kingdom. Star of the new evangelization, help us to bear radiant witness to communion, service, ardent and generous faith, justice and love of the poor, that the joy of the Gospel may reach to the ends of the earth, illuminating even the fringes of our world. Mother of the living Gospel, wellspring of happiness for God’s little ones, pray for us. Amen. Alleluia! Pope Francis Evangelium Gaudium
