From Our Pastor
Dear Friends,
There is the story of three li le boys, five and six year olds, who played the role of the three Kings at
their Kindergarten Na vity Play. They came marching in before the manger with paper hats and each
carrying one box. The first boy laid his box before the baby Jesus and announced, “I have brought you
gold.” The second laid his box down and announced, “I have brought you myrrh.” Now the third boy
came down. He remembered he had to put his box down but forgot his line. So, he announced, “Frank
sent this.”
The wise men came from the East. They were pagan astrologers called to the manger, called to faith. Their journey is
our journey, the journey of people throughout the world and throughout history being called to the manger, being
called to faith. The Epiphany is the celebra on of our being included in the Mystery of Jesus Christ; not just included,
more than included. It is the celebra on of our being equal to the very people chosen to be the physical ancestors of
the human nature of our Lord. And this was certainly difficult for the Jewish people of the first century to under-
stand. They normally referred to those who were not Jews, the Gen les, as dogs. It was confusing for them to think
that God would consider the Gen les their equals. The Jews were the chosen people. But the Epiphany tells us that this
was always God’s plan. He never intended to be the God for only one por on of mankind. Even more, all people would
be co-heirs of the Grace of Christ. It was difficult for Jewish Chris ans to buy into the message of the Epiphany. It is also
difficult for many of us. We tend to see life through our own limited frames of reference.
When we envision the birth of the Lord, we tend to see Him in the viewpoint of our own frame of reference. Therefore,
most of the pictures of Mary and Jesus are of a fair skinned girl and a bouncing, blue eyed baby. But Jesus and Mary
were not Europeans. Mary and Jesus were Semi c, people of that area of the world where the three races merge. I
o en think that God placed the Chosen People there as a message that all the people He created were to be the
Chosen people. Sadly, this is a message that is s ll secret. There is a certain arrogance that many Catholics have that is
evident when they look down on people who are not from their culture. The Epiphany tells us that African Catholics
are as Catholic as Asian Catholics and all Catholics. It also tells our brothers and sisters across the ocean that American
Catholics are as Catholic as European Catholics. St. Paul says that this was a secret hidden for all ages, this coming of
the Lord for everyone. It is up to
us to reveal the secret. We do
this by trea ng others with
respect, par cularly those
who are different from us in
externals, but the same as us
in what ma ers, their union
with Jesus Christ.
The word Epiphany means a
showing or manifesta on of
the Lord. He was first shown
to the wise men, astrologers
whose faith guided them to
Bethlehem. We need to show
Him to all people seeking the
spiritual body where they can
be one with God.
Happy feast of the Epiphany of
Our Lord!
Fr. Kris

II NIEDZIELA PO NARODZENIU PAŃSKIM – Człowiek posłany przez Boga
Miłość Boga jest pokorna. Ten, który stworzył wszystko mocą swego słowa, zapragnął być blisko człowieka. I by człowiek mógł spot-

włączyli się w Jego zbawcze dzieło. Pierwszym wśród nich był Jan Chrzciciel – człowiek posłany przez Boga. Bóg stał się człowiekiem,
bym potrafił odkryć w sobie podobieństwo do Boga, a przez to stał się posłany…
UROCZYSTOŚĆ OBJAWIENIE PAŃSKIEGO – 6. Stycznia – Wędrówka wiary
Czym jest uroczystość Objawienia Pańskiego, można lepiej zrozumieć, wczytując się w Ewangelię o mędrcach z dalekiej krainy.
Przybywają oni do nowo narodzonego Jezusa i rozpoznają w Nim króla, Mesjasza. Prowadzeni przez gwiazdę stają się pot-
wierdzeniem prawdy, że w ludzkim sercu ukryte jest pragnienie poznania Boga. To właśnie w tych tajemniczych trzech wędrowcach
mogą odnaleźć się ci, którzy wciąż szukają… Wiara to przecież droga, a my po niej idziemy. Kto uczciwie szuka Boga, z pewnością w
końcu Go znajdzie…
