Epifanía nos lleva al punto culminante de la temporada de Navidad, - sí, todavía estamos en Navidad-, cuando Jesús se revela claramente como Rey, como Hijo de Dios y como hombre En primer lugar, epifanía viene de dos palabras griegas que significan “mostrar” y “sobre de/en”. Podríamos decir, en inglés, para manifestar o... para revelar... hacerlo presente. Epifanía es la
manifestación o el mostrar sucesivamente. Así que Dios en Jesús se muestra sucesivamente a sí mismo...se manifiesta a sí mis-mo... para el mundo de una manera singular y profunda.
Como Rey.... ¿Qué le traen los Magos de Oriente al niño Jesús? Oro. El oro es un metal precioso que indica soberanía, la realeza. De hecho, la primera lectura de Isaías 60 lo menciona. Jesús es rey, pero no rey en una manera como usted o yo nos podríamos imaginar. Él es el rey quien reina desde la cruz/trono. Es entonces cuando se producirá la plena manifestación: en la cruz, como el P. Raymond Brown siempre lo decía; "El pesebre se encuentra siempre a la sombra de la cruz".
Como Dios.... ¿Qué le traen los Magos de Oriente al niño Jesús? Incienso. El incienso es una especie aromática quemada para complacer a los dioses o, en este caso, Dios. Indica divinidad. Además, la primera lectura de Isaías lo menciona. Jesús es Dios, pero de una manera que está más allá de la imaginación humana. Él viene como Dios en nuestra carne, como una de sus criaturas. Él es Dios quien se ofrecerá a sí mismo por su pueblo amado, al igual que el incienso se ofrece a Dios en la adoración.
Como hombre de sufrimientos. ¿Qué le traen los Magos de Oriente al niño Jesús? La mirra. Mirra es una especie utilizada en la preparación de los cuerpos para ser enterrados en el antiguo Cercano Oriente. Mirra que indica muerte. No se menciona en la lec-tura de Isaías. Jesús es Rey y Dios que va a morir en nombre de su pueblo, por el bien de la humanidad. Él se convertirá en el Sier-vo Sufriente por amor a todos nosotros. Al morir en la cruz, él se manifiesta plenamente como el Dios que nos ama hasta el extre-mo.
¿Qué significa esto para nosotros? Si Dios nos ha amado así... hasta el final...sí que debemos amarnos unos a otros. Si Dios se ha manifestado al mundo, es por eso que nosotros debemos mostrar amor el uno al otro. Tal vez, algunos de ustedes han leído la fa-mosa novela de Víctor Hugo, Los Miserables, o han visto el musical basado en el mismo (o incluso una de las películas basadas en el libro o la película basada en el musical). El mensaje fundamental de la misma es la redención a través del amor de la encarna-ción, el amor encarnado. Jean Val Jean se convierte en alguien que se ofrece al final, por el amor transformador en su vida. A con-tinuación, el promete esa fidelidad de amor a Fantine y se lo demuestra a su hija Cossette a lo largo de su vida. Su opuesto es Ja-vier, atrapado en su infierno de amargura nacida de la justicia propia. Esto a la larga lo conduce a quitarse la vida, porque él no puede soportar un mundo en el cual Jean Val Jean existe para mostrar ese amor desinteresado.
En el musical, después de que Jean Val Jean ha muerto y está dirigido al Paraíso, canta las palabras "Amar a otra persona es ver el rostro de Dios." Tal vez no haya mejor lenguaje para describir el misterio de la Navidad, la Encarnación y la Epifanía. Como Juan 3:16 dice: "Porque tanto amó Dios al mundo que dio a su Hijo único, para que todo el que crea en él no perezca, sino que tenga vida eterna." Dios nos amó tanto a nosotros los seres humanos, que se convirtió en uno de nosotros para mostrarnos el camino hacia sí mismo. Si Dios se ha manifestado a nosotros, así tenemos que hacer el uno con el otro. En la medida que amamos a otra persona, el rostro de Dios se manifiesta a nosotros... vemos el rostro de Dios. Y esta es la Epifanía. Les deseo a ustedes una mag-nánima y bendecida Navidad y un Feliz Año Nuevo 2015!

Daily Readings
Magnanimous Musings of Fr. John Robert Skeldon
Epiphany brings us to the highpoint of the Christmas season—yes we are still in Christmas— when Jesus is plainly revealed as King, as Son of God and as Man of Sorrows. What do I mean by these three terms? Let us set some context.
First, epiphany comes from two Greek words meaning to show and upon/on. We might say in English, to show forth or…to reveal…to make manifest. Epiphany is manifestation or showing forth. So God in Jesus is showing forth himself… manifesting himself…to the world in a singular and profound way.
As King…. What do the mysterious magi of the east bring to the infant Jesus? Gold. Gold is a precious metal indicat-ing kindicat-ingship, royalty. Indeed, the first readindicat-ing from Isaiah 60 mentions it. Jesus is kindicat-ing, but not kindicat-ing in a way you or I would ever imagine. He is king who reigns from his cross-throne. That’s when the full manifestation will occur: on the cross. “The crib lies always in the shadow of the cross,” as Fr. Raymond Brown would always say.
As God…. What do the mysterious magi of the east bring to the infant Jesus? Incense. Frankincense is an aromatic spice burned to please the gods or, in this case, God. It indicates divinity. Also, the first reading from Isaiah mentions it. Jesus is God, but in a way that is beyond human imagining. He comes as God in our flesh, as one of his creatures. He is God who will offer himself for his beloved people, just as incense is offered to God in worship.
As Man of Sorrows. What do the mysterious magi of the east bring to the infant Jesus? Myrrh. Myrrh is a spice used in the preparation of bodies for burial in the ancient near East. It indicates death. It is not mentioned in the reading from Isaiah. Jesus is King and God who will die on behalf of his people, for the sake of humanity. He will become the Suffering Servant out of love for us all. In dying upon the cross, he manifests himself fully as the God who loves us to the end.
What does this mean for us? If God so loved us…to the end…so ought we to love one another. If God has so manifest-ed himself to the world, so ought we to show that love to each other. Perhaps, some of you have read the famous novel of Victor Hugo, Les Miserables, or have seen the musical based on it (or even one of the movies based on the book or the movie based on the musical). The fundamental message of it is redemption through incarnational love, love in the flesh. Jean Val Jean becomes one who offers himself to the end because of transforming love in his life. He then promises that fidelity of love to Fantine and shows it to her daughter Cossette throughout her life. His opposite is Javier, stuck in his hell of bitterness born of
self-righteousness. This eventually leads to his taking of his life, because he cannot abide a world in which Jean Val Jean exists to show such selfless love.
In the musical, after Jean Val Jean has died and is led into Paradise, he sings the words “to love another person is to see the face of God.” There is perhaps no better language to describe the mystery of Christmas, Incarnation and Epiphany. As John 3:16 puts it: “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that whoever believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life.” God so loved us human beings that he became one of us to show us the way to himself. If God has so manifested himself to us, so we ought to do to each other. In the manner that we love another person, the face of God is manifested to us…we see the face of God. And this is Epiphany. A Blessed and Magnanimous Christmas and Epiphany to you and a Happy New Year 2015!
