READINGS FOR THE WEEK GOD MADE MAN SUNDAY, January 3 – Epiphany Our Sunday Visitor Newsweekly (www.osv.com/OSVNewsweekly) (#1011 IN YOUR GATHER BOOK) First Reading IS 60:1-6 The solemnity of the Epiphany is a celebration of the epiphaneia — the revelation and Second Reading EPH 3:2-3A, 5-6 manifestation — of God become man. It is a celebration of the Incarnation; it is also a Gospel MT 2:1-12 recognition that Jesus Christ, the Incarnate Word of God, is both the joyous center of history and the cause for division and discomfort. The prologue to John’s Gospel expresses Monday this in stark terms: “The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world. First Reading 1 JN 3:22–4:6 He was in the world, and the world came to be through him, but the world did not know Gospel MT 4:12-17, 23-25 him. He came to what was his own, but his own people did not accept him” (Jn 1:9-11). Tuesday First Reading 1 JN 4:7-10 The light, as St. John wrote, shines in the darkness. However, if we cannot see and Gospel MK 6:34-44 recognize the darkness — the sad and desperate state of a fallen humanity and a wounded creation — we will not see the light. The prophet Isaiah, in today’s first reading, Wednesday touches on this in his exhortation, “Rise up in splendor, Jerusalem! Your light has come, First Reading 1 JN 4:11-18 Gospel MK 6:45-52 the glory of the Lord shines upon you.” The city was in deep spiritual slumber, oblivious to both the darkness and light, existing in a sort of confusing mist: “See, darkness covers the Thursday earth, and thick clouds cover the peoples,” declared Isaiah, “but upon you the Lord shines, First Reading 1 JN 4:19–5:4 and over you appears his glory.” We might ask: Wouldn’t it be obvious to all if God’s light Gospel LK 4:14-22 was shining upon us? How could anyone miss such an event? Friday First Reading 1 JN 5:5-13 The French poet Paul Claudel, in his Hymn for Epiphany, delved into the mystery of Gospel LK 5:12-16 spiritual sight and blindness. “But see!” he wrote, “the star has tarried, Mary holds God within her arms!… We have but to open our eyes and brush the mist away...” The Saturday mysterious magi saw the light in the darkness and sought it out. Pope Emeritus Benedict First Reading 1 JN 5:14-21 XVI, in Jesus of Nazareth: The Infancy Narratives, noted that the wise men from Persia Gospel JN 3:22-30 used their religious and philosophical wisdom “to set off in the right direction”; they are SUNDAY, January 10 - Baptism of the Lord open to the directives of God, even if it involves the difficulty of a long journey. First Reading IS 42:1-4, 6-7 Second Reading ACTS 10:34-38 Another poet, T. S. Eliot, in Journey of the Magi, considered how daunting it must have Gospel LK 3:15-16, 21-22 been for the magi, traveling in the cold night and wondering if it “was all folly.” The magi witnessed a birth, but “this Birth was/Hard and bitter agony for us, like Death, our death.” PRAYING THE NEWS Returning home, the magi are “no longer at ease here, in the old dispensation/With an alien people clutching their gods.” This is surprisingly melancholy, but it reiterates the fact January 3, 2016 that the Incarnation is not a nice story or a curious tale, but the shattering entrance of the …magi from the east arrived in true light into a world of darkness. Jerusalem… Matthew 2:1 Who will stay in the darkness? Who will come into the light? Who will follow the star and Dear Lord, the daily news and events arrive at the house, see Mary and prostrate themselves in worship? Who will take the gift of our lives can make it hard to of life and toss it away with passionate frivolity? And who will take their life and lay it believe that you are near, or even before the newborn King? exist. But if we are faithful in seeking, we’ll find you. During this The words of Herod were filled with obvious deception and unintended irony: “Go and Jubilee Year of Mercy, may our search diligently for the child. When you have found him, bring me word, that I too may family homes, parish homes, and our go and do him homage.” The murderous king was right to command the wise men to universal church be welcoming places search for the Christ-child. He said the right things; he gave public lip service. But he for searchers. They may come with spoke from darkness and to darkness he returned.
