On the Feast of the Epiphany, on which we celebrate the
manifestation of God among all peoples, we hear once again
rousing words from the Book of Isaiah. Note that in our
reading the text is addressed to Jerusalem, the holy city, not
to either a prophet or the people. While the word Jerusalem
does not appear in the Hebrew text, it would seem that the
lectionary wanted to make clear to the listeners of this
proclamation that the words are, indeed, addressed to the holy
city. Commentators agree that this portion of Isaiah focuses
on the role of Jerusalem, the soon-to-be restored city, where
God’s glory will be made manifest.
The first two chapters of Matthew’s Gospel account are
commonly referred to as the infancy narrative, and this
material is often divided into several sections. Today’s
verses are frequently identified as “the adoration of the
Magi.” Another element may be important to note. The
word Bethlehem, the place of Jesus’ birth, appears four times
in these twelve verses. Might we consider this town, this
earthly place, a specific location at a given time in human
history, where Jesus, son of David and Son of God, is made
manifest in human flesh? It is because of this mystery of the
Incarnation that the author of the Letter to the Ephesians
could write of the Spirit “that the Gentiles are coheirs,
members of the same body and copartners in the promise of
Christ Jesus through the gospel.”

Please help suppor the Catholic Communication
Campaign. This campaign connects people with Christ and
builds Catholic communities in the United States and
developing countries using the internet, television, radio, and
print media. Half of the money collected remains here in the
New York Archdiocese to fund local communications
efforts. Your support helps spread the Gospel message
The parishes in our archdiocese are taking up the
National Collection for The Catholic University of
America in Washington, D.C. Located in the heart of
the nation’s capital, Catholic University offers graduate
and under-graduate courses in more than 180 academic
programs. By giving to the National Collection, you
will help support many students who are seeking a
faith-filled education at an institution that supports
cutting-edge research in multiple fields

crocheted for the Men’s Club Winter Coat Drive.
These beautiful handmade items were distributed along
with winter coats to those in need.
