SOME THOUGHTS ON TODAY’S GOSPEL
Herod was interested in Jesus in an intellectual way, careful that his own position was not affected. We should pray for people who keep Jesus at a distance, referring to him as an idea. We realize that our prayer draws us into a relationship and ask that we be ready to accept the consequences that may come to light.
The comfortable and established did not recognize Jesus but the travelers and strangers appreciated who he was. We should ask that we be open to the voices of the stranger and to wisdom.
The Epiphany of the Lord
LITURGY OF THE WORD
1st READING ISAIAH 60:1-6
(Glory of God’s Church)
The Lord favors Jerusalem, which kings and peoples approach. The riches of
the earth will be placed at the gates of Jerusalem.
RESPONSORIAL PSALM 72
(The Messiah King)
Lord, every nation will adore you.
2nd READING EPHESIANS 3:2-3a, 5-6
(Good News for All)
Paul admits that God has revealed the divine plan of salvation to him. Not only
the Jews, but also the whole Gentile world, will share the Good News.
THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW 2:1-12
(Magi with Gifts)
King Herod, being jealous of his earthly crown, was threatened by the coming of another king. The magi from the east followed the star to Bethlehem from which a ruler was to come.
