Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time
A CHRISTMAS REPRISE
The Church’s celebration three weeks ago of the Baptism of the Lord signaled the “official” end of the Christmas
season. Today’s feast of the Presentation of the Lord seems to extend the Incarnation celebration a bit longer. In fact,
some have called this feast a “second Epiphany.”
The first reading recalls the anticipation of Advent, as Malachi writes, “Lo, I am sending my messenger to prepare
the way before me.” The reading from Hebrews reminds us of the Incarnation, proclaiming that Jesus had a “share” in
our own “blood and flesh.” The Gospel finds the infant Jesus on his first visit to Jerusalem and his human parents once
again surprised and in awe over the events surround his birth.
In the simplicity of the manger, in the grandeur of the temple, in the domesticity of Nazareth, Jesus comes. May we come to know him and so be filled with “wisdom” and the
“favor of God.” Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
RETORNO A LA NAVIDAD
La celebración de hace tres semanas del Bautismo del Señor señaló el fin “oficial” del
tiempo de Navidad para la Iglesia. La fiesta de hoy de la Presentación del Señor parece
extender la celebración un poco más allá. En realidad, algunos han nombrado esta fiesta una
“Segunda Epifanía”.
La primera lectura nos recuerda la anticipación del Adviento, como escribe Malaquías: “Envío a mi mensajero para
que prepare el camino ante mí”. La lectura de los Hebreos nos recuerda la Encarnación, proclamando que Jesús tuvo una
“parte” de la misma “carne y sangre”. El Evangelio encuentra al niño Jesús en su primera visita a Jerusalén, y a sus padres una vez más sorprendidos y asombrados por los acontecimientos de su nacimiento.
En la sencillez del pesebre, en la grandeza del templo, en la domesticidad de Nazaret, Jesús viene. ¡Que lleguemos a
conocerlo y por ello nos encontremos llenos de “sabiduría” y de la “gracia de Dios!” Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
