JANUARY 3 & 4, 2014
PASTOR’S NOTES
A Visit from the Magi
We tend to think of the magi as three kings arriving a
few days behind the shepherds at the Christmas stable.
St. Matthew would be charmed, but would likely
remind us that magi are not kings. Magi are eastern
astrologers and interpreters of dreams, that the number
three, a good guess from the number of gifts and the
popular song, is actually not part of scripture, and that
the location is not the stable, but a house where the
Holy Family is living in Bethlehem. The star, no real
help to pinpoint the exact address, recalls the prophecy
of the astrologer Balaam in Numbers 24:17 and
highlights the significance of Jesus’ birth within the
whole sweep of God’s plan for salvation. Other
elements of St. Matthew’s Chapter 2 recall Israel’s story:
travel into and out of Egypt, escape from an abusive
ruler, and the vocation to be Isaiah’s light for the
nations. (Isaiah 60:1-6; 49-6).
This passage from St. Matthew’s Gospel turns out to be
a brilliant way of telling the real history. Herod the
Great was indeed a contemporary pharaoh (recalling
Israel’s slavery in Egypt) famous for his great building
projects and murderous rule. In the end, Jesus truly
does turn out to be a king, whose nonviolent power
challenged abusive secular power. Jesus was indeed
rejected by the religious leadership of His day, and Jesus
would be accepted, indeed done homage, more widely
by Gentiles than by the historic people of Israel. Jesus
would prove to be the new Moses leading His people on
a new Exodus. This descendant of David will, as risen
Lord, turn out to be everything St. Matthew writes
while quoting Micah 5:1 (ruler from Bethlehem) and 2
Samuel 5:2 (shepherd of God’s people Israel). “God’s
people Israel” entails all twelve tribes, the restoration of
Israel expected in the Messianic age, the Church.
To the anonymous donor…..you’re right! Sometimes
things are more valuable than they may appear.

THIS SEASON
Each Christmas season, Holy Family anticipates and relies
on a seasonal increase in contributions. It is through the
donations of every individual and family in the community
that we are able to carry on our work now and throughout
the year. If you need a convenient way to make recurring
contributions or plan to make an additional gift before the
end of the year, we encourage you to check out our
electronic giving options. As the pace of life speeds up
around the holidays, you may find electronic giving a most
welcome way to make contributions. To set up a recurring
giving schedule, visit us on holyfamilysyr.org and locate
the Online Giving button. Or if it’s easier, call the parish
office (488-3139) and we will send a form. Just drop it in
the collection basket or at the office. Thank you for your
generosity and support.

BAPTISM CLASS

MONDAY-JANUARY 5, 2015
FROM 7 PM to 8:15 PM
PASTORAL CARE OFFICE:
Sr. Anna Maria, D.S.M.P. and Marion Whipple
Please call: 488-3139, ext. 23 to make arrangements
for the baptism of your child. WE STRONGLY
RECOMMEND THAT COUPLES ATTEND THE
BAPTISMAL CLASS BEFORE THE BABY IS
BORN. (If you have attended a baptism class within
the past few years, you may not have to attend again.)
Normally, baptisms are the 2nd and 4th Sundays of the
month.
Pope Francis speaking to the families and their
children, he was pleased to meet them, saying it was
clear that they “love the family and they love life.”
“Each of your children”, he said, “was wanted by God”
and it amazes us how great a miracle a child is.” A
child is somebody who changes our life. He also
underlined the important role played by grandparents,
saying they can not only provide practical support but
above all can help the parents pass down to their
children their faith. And please, continue praying for
me, the Pope ended, “because in a way I’m like a
grandfather for all of you.”
HOMEBOUND Anyone needing a priest to visit for any of the
Sacraments please call the pastoral care office at
488-3139, ext. 23.
Are you willing to share some of your time and your
