Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish Fremont, CA January 8, 2017
A little girl and her mother were looking at the Nativity scene. The mother was explain‐ ing that the Wise Men were presenting their gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh to the newborn King. The little girl looked in great adoration at the babe in the manger, then turning to her mother, thoughtfully asked, "Why didn't they bring Him a bed?" In the stories of Jesus’ birth, two special groups of people came to visit the new‐born babe: the shepherds and the magi. The church has no special feast to commemorate the visit of the shepherds but we have this special feast of Epiphany today to celebrate the visit of the magi. Why is that? It is because the visit of the magi is an eye‐opener. The shepherds learnt of the birth of Jesus through a direct and supernatural revelation
from angels. Many of us have no problem with that. The magi, on the other hand,
learnt of the birth of Jesus by observing a star. The star did not say anything to them. They had to interpret this natural sign of the star to know what it meant and where it led. If we remember that the magi were nature worshippers, people who divined God’s will by reading the movements of the stars and other heavenly bodies, then we can see how the visit of the magi challenges some of our popular beliefs.
Notice how people of different religious traditions came to know that the Son of God was born. The shepherds: regarded as unclean and could not take part in Temple wor‐ ship without undergoing purification came to know through a direct vision of angels.
The magi knew through a reading of the stars. And King Herod’s scribes came to
know through searching the scriptures. Visions, stars, scriptures -- different ways of
arriving at the same truth.
The final implication of the Magi story, of course, belongs to us: the good news of Christ, by its very nature, is meant to be dynamic, living, proliferating: we are meant to do what Magi did, spread the word by mouth and action.

Estamos buscando donadores para un
Nuevo Nacimiento
El estudio Joseph tiene una venta después de Navidad, este hermoso juego a es-cala de 39 pulgadas esta en venta por $675.00.
Una pequeña niña y su mamá estaban viendo el Nacimiento. La mamá le estaba explican‐ do que los Reyes Magos le estaban presentando los regalos de oro, mirra e incienso al rey recién nacido. La pequeña niña miró con gran adoración al bebé en el pesebre, luego mi‐ rando a su mamá le preguntó, "¿Por qué no le llevan una cama?"
En las historia del nacimiento de Jesús, hay dos grupos especiales de personas que van a visitar al bebé recién nacido: los pastores y los magos. La iglesia no tiene una fecha espe‐ cial para conmemorar la visita de los pastores pero tenemos hoy la fiesta especial de la Epifanía para celebrar la visita de los magos. ¿Por qué es eso? Porque la visita de los magos nos abre los ojos. Los pastores supieron del nacimiento de Jesús por una revelación
direc-ta y supernatural de los ángeles. Muchos de nosotros no tenemos problema con eso. Los magos, por otra parte, supieron del nacimiento de Jesús observando una estrella. La es‐
trella no les dijo nada. Ellos tuvieron que interpretar esta señal natural para saber el signi‐ ficado y a dónde los guiaba. Si recordamos que los magos eran gentes que rezaban, gen‐ tes que adivinaban la voluntad de Dios leyendo el movimiento de las estrellas y otros cuer‐ pos celestes, entonces podemos ver por qué la visita de los magos nos reta en algunas de nuestras creencias populares.
Se dan cuenta cómo personas de diferentes religiones y tradiciones saben que el hijo de Dios ha nacido. Los pastores: sin importar si estaban limpios o no, no podían ir al templo a rezar sin primero purificarse sin la visión directa de los ángeles. Los magos lo supieron por medio de la lectura de las estrellas. Y los escribas del Rey Herodes lo supieron
investigan-do las escrituras. Visiones, estrellas, escrituras -- diferentes formas de llegar a la misma verdad.
La implicación final de la historia de los Magos, por supuesto, nos pertenece a nosotros: las buenas nuevas de Cristo, por su misma naturaleza, significa ser dinámico, viviendo, pro‐ liferando: nosotros debemos hacer lo que los Magos hicieron, difundir en el mundo con palabras y acciones.
