They opened their treasures and offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. — Matthew 2:11b

O Come Let Us Adore Him Venid y Adoremos “…and on entering the house they saw the child “Entrando en la casa, vieron al Niño con Su with Mary his mother. They prostrated madre María, y postrándose Lo themselves and did him homage.” (Matthew adoraron…” (Mateo 2:11) 2:11) El otro día estaba meditando en todas las The other day I was meditating on all the maravillas que la Virgen y San José wonders that Mary and saw on the day contemplaron en el día y en la semanas después and in the weeks following the birth of Christ. del nacimiento de Cristo. Los pastores llegaron The shepherds came that very night, and now esa misma noche y ahora vienen tres extranjeros these strangers from the East come and del Oriente y se postran ante su Hijo. Estos prostrate themselves before their Son. These magi went magos vienen buscando un rey y arriesgan su vida in search of a king to the point of putting their own lives at cuando empiezan a preguntar en Jerusalén donde esta risk when they start asking questions in Jerusalem about el rey recién nacido de los judíos. Sus vidas estaban en where the newborn king of the Jews was. Their lives peligro porque Herodes, un rey tiránico, los hubiese were at risk because Herod, who was tyrannical as a matado como mató a los Santos Inocentes. Herodes king, could have killed them the same way he veía a este Niño como una amenaza pero los Reyes slaughtered the Holy Innocents. Herod saw this Child as Magos lo ven como una bendición que tenían que a threat while the magi saw him as a blessing they had to contemplar con sus ojos. Por la gracia de Dios, los see. Through the grace of God the Magi complete their Reyes Mago llegan a Belén. Ven al niño, se postraron y journey when the star leads them to Bethlehem. They lo adoraron. prostrate themselves, and in the Spanish translation of this passage, the says they “adore” the Lord. Aquí estamos comenzando un año nuevo con todo tipo de resoluciones para mejorar nuestra vida cuando Here we are in the first week of a New Year making up all tenemos una resolución de oro que se nos propone en el sorts of resolutions when there is golden one spelled out evangelio de hoy. Como los Reyes Magos, estamos for us in today’s gospel. Like the magi, we are called to llamados a buscar al Señor y adorarlo. Siempre lo repito seek out the Lord and adore him. I have always said that que el tesoro mas grande de esta parroquia es nuestra one of the greatest treasure that we have in this is Capilla de Adoración donde Jesús te espera, añorando our Adoration Chapel where is waiting for you, por ti y sediento de ti. Esa capilla es como el pesebre de longing for you, thirsting for you. That chapel is like the Belén donde Cristo, como dice el viejo refrán, siempre un manger in Bethlehem where Christ, as an old song says, Niño, te espera para que lo adores como lo hicieron los forever a child, waits for you so that you may adore him Reyes Magos. ¿Qué les parece esa resolución de año like the magi. So how’s that for a New Year’s resolution? nuevo? ¿Porqué no pasamos mas tiempo este año en Why don’t we spend more time in that chapel this New esa capillita? En oración, en adoración, o simplemente Year? In prayer, in adoration, or we could simply just sit sentados ahí sin hacer nada. Digo esto porque muchos there. I say this because some of us may not know what no saben que hacer en la capilla y esta bien simplemente to do or what to say in there when it is perfectly fine to sentarse ahí en la presencia del Altísimo. A San Juan just sit there in his divine presence. St. John Vianney Vianney le preguntaron que hacía frente al Santísimo was once asked what he does in front of the Blessed Sacramento: “Nada. Yo lo miro a El y El me mira a mí.” : “Nothing. I just look at Him and He looks at Con eso basta. Los frutos que recibirán son eternos y me.” That’s all we need to do. The fruits that you will los frutos para esta parroquia serán mas que lo que nos receive are endless, and the fruits this parish will receive podemos imaginar. will be beyond anything we could possibly imagine. Así que Cristo los espera. Si el gimnasio es una buena So Christ is waiting for you. Sure the gym is a great idea, una dieta también para el año nuevo, pero como yo resolution, a diet is reasonable, but oh how I wish that my quisiera que mi capillita de adoración estuviera repleta chapel be as full tomorrow morning as every gym in mañana por la mañana como todos los gimnasios de Miami. The change that we need in this New Year, and Miami. El cambio que necesitamos este Año Nuevo y la the peace that we long for are all in that tiny chapel. paz que queremos nos espera en esa capillita. Happy New Year! ¡Feliz Año Nuevo!
