Sincerely in Christ, Fr. Thomas Bennett Parish Information on Last Page | Información Parroquial En La Ultima Pagina Del Pastor JAN 3 30 W 1st St, Ste A, Mesa, AZ 85201 | Phone: 480.417.6999 | Fax: 480.969.8102 | Website: www.qop.org ear Brothers and DSisters in Christ, The New Year has begun and this first Sunday of the year is a great Solemnity of the Epiphany of our Lord, which is just another way of saying His manifestation to all of us that He is with us to guide us and protect us and lead us home. The Three Kings or Wise Men come from afar to lay their gifts before Him and recognize Him as the King of Kings. Their gifts at His birth of gold, frankincense and myrrh are a reminder to us of the reality that Jesus will give His life for us. He wants us to follow in His foot- steps and give glory to His Father by making His presence be mani- fested today in our world through our way of life. In all our human weakness, we have been called by God to let His light shine in us and through us for the world. He wants us to learn to die to ourselves in order to bear the fruit that will last for all eternity. At the beginning of this new year, let’s ask God to give us the grace to be the best we can be for Him and for others. Let’s ask Him to forgive those who have wronged us so that we are not bound by the sins of others but live the truth in love and learn to conquer evil with good. Let this be the best year of our lives, or at least let’s try . Sincerely in Christ, Fr.

Intentémoslo. Sinceramente en Cristo, Padre Thomas Bennett THE EPIPHANY OF THE LORD REFLECTING with the Readings First Reading In late 6th century BC, the prophet Isaiah proclaimed an unimaginable future of glo- ry for Israel in the wake of their return from seventy years of captivity in Babylon. What message of hope does our nation need today? Second Reading Paul speaks of God’s “revelation” to in- clude Gentiles as “coheirs” and “copartners” with Jews in the divine prom- ise fulfilled in Christ Jesus. How welcom- ing are you to those you consider outsiders? Gospel The magi’s visit to discover the “newborn king of the Jews” caused great anxiety for the religious leaders of Jerusalem, includ- ing King Herod. Why do you think some people are not open to the good news of Jesus Christ? ©LPi PROFUNDIZANDO CON LA PALABRA Primera Lectura A finales del siglo sexto a. c., el profeta Isaías proclamó un futuro de gloria inimaginable para Israel después de su regreso de seten- ta años de cautiverio en Babilonia. ¿Qué mensaje de esperanza necesita nuestra na- ción el día de hoy? Segunda Lectura Pablo habla de la "revelación" de Dios para incluir a los gentiles como "coherederos" y "copartícipes" con los judíos en la promesa divina cumplida en Cristo Jesús. ¿Qué tan acogedor eres con los que consideras foras- teros? Evangelio La visita de los reyes magos para descubrir al "recién nacido rey de los judíos" provocó una gran ansiedad en los líderes religiosos de Jerusalén, incluido el rey Herodes. ¿Por qué crees que algunas personas no están abiertas a la buena nueva de Jesucristo? ©LPi Even the slightest flicker of a light helps to properly orient us when we find ourselves in total darkness. Being in darkness can be unset- tling and even a bit unnerving. We lose our fo- cus and struggle to find our bearings and achieve balance. On life’s journey we may think we are walking in the light but are really lin- gering in darkness. We do not see the full pic- ture, either because we are distracted, disinter- ested, or even apprehensive. Sometimes, we even choose to close our eyes when the light is readily available to illuminate our path. Do we really desire to know the truth of who we are? In Jesus Christ, a light has been given to those who dwell in darkness. God’s revelation gives us the light to see where we come from, who we are and where we are going. It also tells us that this Good News is not meant for just a privileged few but is intended to go out to all the world. Is this something we want to see? ©LPi Incluso el más mínimo destello de luz ayuda a orientarnos correctamente cuando nos en- contramos en la oscuridad total. Estar en la oscuridad puede ser inquietante e incluso un poco desconcertante. Perdemos nuestro en- foque y luchamos por orientarnos y lograr el equilibrio. En el viaje de la vida, podemos pensar que caminamos en la luz, pero en realidad permanecemos en la oscuridad. No vemos la imagen completa, ya sea porque es- tamos distraídos, desinteresados o incluso aprensivos. A veces, incluso optamos por ce- rrar los ojos cuando la luz está disponible pa- ra iluminar nuestro camino. ¿Realmente deseamos saber la verdad de quiénes somos? En Jesucristo, se les ha dado luz a los que moran en tinieblas. La revelación de Dios nos da la luz para ver de dónde venimos, quiénes somos y hacia dónde vamos. También nos di- ce que esta Buena Nueva no es solo para unos pocos privilegiados, sino que está desti- nada a todo el mundo. ¿Es esto algo que que- remos ver? ©LPi Además de los Reyes Magos, ¿qué tiene de significativo la Epifanía? Epifanía significa "manifestación" o exhibición pública. La fiesta generalmente se celebra el 6 de enero. En los Estados Unidos, se celebra el domingo más cercano al 6 de enero. Se origina a partir de una historia exclusiva de Mateo (2: 1-12). Magos de Oriente vie- nen a rendir homenaje al Rey recién nacido, presentándole regalos de oro, incienso y mirra. Esta parte de la narración de la infancia de Mateo difiere del relato de Lucas sobre el nacimiento de Jesús. En Lucas no hay magos, es- trellas ni regalos. Lucas dice que Jesús nació en un establo des- pués del largo viaje de María y José de Nazaret a Belén. Matthew parece tener a la familia viviendo en una casa en Belén, donde los magos los encuentran. ¿Por qué estas diferencias? Surgen de las necesidades y preocupa- ciones de la audiencia a la que se dirigían los autores, así como de la postura teológica de cada autor. Conocer la intención original ayuda a obtener la interpretación correcta del texto. Dado que Mateo escribía principalmente a una comunidad judía, su preocupación era mostrar que Jesús no vino solo para los judíos, sino también para los gentiles. Desde su mismo nacimiento, Jesús no solo se manifiesta a los judíos, sino también a los gentiles, quie- nes están incluidos de manera prominente en la manifestación, simbolizada por los Magos y su viaje.

    Subscribe Past Issues Translate RSS Uniting Jews & Gentiles for Yeshua's Return Inside this Issue: Chanuka Lights in Budapest Reports from the Annual Meeting in Israel Kairos Conference and the Alleluia Community Open Days in the Netherlands Chanukah Lights in Budapest By Andrea Simonyi A TJCII Intercessor in Hungary In 1945 the Hungarian Arrow Cross (a national political party) controlled the Church and the city streets. They committed serial mass murders against the Orthodox Jewish community of Buda: its Jewish citizens; doctors and patients of two Jewish hospitals; and inhabitants of a home for the elderly. A close relationship existed between the local Catholic community and the Arrow Cross. They were like the evil shepherds described in the Book of Ezekiel who allowed wild animals to destroy lives. As an act of intercession, our group came together this Chanukah to light a Chanukiah near a church at this site. Among those coming were a reformed pastor, a Greek orthodox priest, a Catholic community leader, Messianic Jews, and a Free Church person. The Orthodox Jewish rabbi of the old people's home (also a target of Arrow Cross murders) prayed the blessings . We had spiritual battles, but we were doing this to prepare for a deeper movement of repentance in Hungary, because Yeshua himself celebrated Chanukah in Jerusalem, (Book of John, chapter 10), and because we believe that the light of the Lord shines into darkness. As is often the case, the full impact of this light is yet to be seen. The oil was a gift to us from a Messianic Jewish sister in Israel.
