This is the time of the year when figures of the three kings edge their way into nativity scenes. Matthew’s Gospel is the source of this intriguing and seemingly innocent feature of the Christmas story. “Magi,” probably astrologers from Persia (present day Iran, by the way…), catch sight of a brilliant star in the sky and conclude it is a portent of a new king being born. They track the light of the star to Jerusalem and there confer with Herod and his court, including the “chief priests and the scribes of the people.” (Although the Magi can read the stars, Matthew’s Jewish Christian Gospel affirms that they must come to Israel and learn from the Scriptures where to find the newborn king!). The religious leaders inform Herod that the anointed king, the Christ, will be born in Bethlehem and the treacherous Herod sends the Magi on their way, but also tells them to let him know when they find the child so that he, too, can come and offer homage. The Magi continue their quest, with the star still guiding them, and wondrously they discover “the child with Mary his mother.” They “prostrate themselves and did him homage,” while offering their royal gifts to the one to whom the Psalm response acclaims, “Lord, every nation on earth will adore you.” Now the story turns darker… The Magi, like Joseph, are warned in a dream not to return to Herod and they take a different way home. The reader knows that Herod, like so many despots in history, is violent and vindictive. He intends to destroy this apparent rival for his throne and will stop at nothing to hold on to his power, even slaughtering innocent children. Joseph, Mary, and the child have to flee to Egypt under cover of darkness, refugees facing loss of their home under the threat of violence. What a story this is and how powerfully relevant for world today. Into this gospel scene Matthew packs several biblical motifs that stand at the heart of our Christian faith. First of all, the Magi story anticipates the universal embrace of the gospel. Strangers, people of good will from a culture far different than Judaism, motivated by their love of nature and their search for the truth, are embraced here. Authentic Christian faith is not narrow or sectarian, but reaches out in respect and expansive love to all of God’s children. Here Matthew’s Gospel anticipates the mission to the Gentiles, reflecting the expansive and inclusive vision of the first reading for this feast from the prophet Isaiah: “Rise up in splendor, Jerusalem! Your light has come…Nations shall walk by your light and kings by your shining radiance.” So, too, in the second reading from Ephesians, Paul’s universal mission is described as a “stewardship of God’s grace,” manifested in his conviction that the “Gentiles are coheirs, members of the same body, and copartners in the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel.”

This vision of God’s generous and expansive love for all peoples is contrasted with a different world view–one that uses naked power to oppress and divide peoples. Herod lies to the Magi. He does not want to pay homage to Christ but to kill him. Herod doesn’t care what suffering he inflicts on people as long as he can prosper (by the way, Matthew’s portrait of Herod as both shrewd and cruel is historically accurate). Here in the threat of Herod and the flight of the Holy Family Matthew’s Gospel anticipates the passion of Jesus. Read in the light of contemporary experience, this feast is not a quaint fairy tale from the past but a bold proclamation of the gospel that contrasts two starkly different worldviews: one that views our diverse world as fundamentally united through the beauty of God’s creation and the power of God’s love; another that sees the world as a stark and dangerous arena of competing and threatening forces. Witnessing to the Christian view of the world by what we say and what we do is becoming more urgent every day. This is an adaptation of a weekly column, “Perspectives on Scripture,” Rev. Donald Senior, that appears in The Chicago Catholic archdiocesan paper; used with permission. Es la época del año en que las figuras de los tres reyes se abren camino en los pesebres. El Evangelio de Mateo es la fuente de este intrigante y aparentemente inocente rasgo de la historia de la Navidad. Los "Reyes Magos", probablemente astrólogos de Persia (el actual Irán, por cierto...), ven una estrella brillante en el cielo y concluyen que es un presagio del nacimiento de un nuevo rey. Siguen la pista de la luz de la estrella hasta Jerusalén y allí consultan con Herodes y su corte, incluyendo a los "principales sacerdotes y los escribas del pueblo". (Aunque los Reyes Magos pueden leer las estrellas, el Evangelio judío-cristiano de Mateo afirma que deben venir a Israel y aprender de las Escrituras dónde encontrar al rey recién nacido). Los líderes religiosos informan a Herodes que el rey ungido, el Cristo, nacerá en Belén y el traidor Herodes envía a los Magos en su camino, pero también les dice que le avisen cuando encuentren al niño para que él también pueda venir a rendirle homenaje. Los Reyes Magos continúan su búsqueda, con la estrella aún guiándolos, y descubren de manera maravillosa "al niño con María su madre". Se postran y le rinden homenaje, mientras ofrecen sus dones reales a aquel a quien el Salmo responde: "Señor, todas las naciones de la tierra te adorarán".

Ahora la historia se vuelve más oscura... Los Reyes Magos, como José, son advertidos en un sueño de no volver a Herodes y toman un camino diferente a casa. El lector sabe que Herodes, como tantos déspotas en la historia, es violento y vengativo. Tiene la intención de destruir a este aparente rival por su trono y no se detendrá ante nada para aferrarse a su poder, incluso masacrando a niños inocentes. José, María y el niño tienen que huir a Egipto al amparo de las tinieblas, refugiados que se enfrentan a la pérdida de su hogar bajo la amenaza de la violencia. Qué historia es ésta y cuán poderosamente relevante para el mundo de hoy. En esta escena del Evangelio, Mateo incluye varios motivos bíblicos que están en el corazón de nuestra fe cristiana. En primer lugar, la historia de los Reyes Magos anticipa el abrazo universal del evangelio. Aquí se abrazan a los extranjeros, a las personas de buena voluntad de una cultura muy diferente al judaísmo, motivados por su amor a la naturaleza y su búsqueda de la verdad. La auténtica fe cristiana no es estrecha ni sectaria, sino que se extiende en el respeto y el amor expansivo a todos los hijos de Dios. Aquí el Evangelio de Mateo anticipa la misión a los gentiles, reflejando la visión expansiva e inclusiva de la primera lectura para esta fiesta del profeta Isaías: "¡Levántate en el esplendor, Jerusalén! Ha llegado tu luz... Las naciones caminarán a tu luz y los reyes a tu resplandor". Así también, en la segunda lectura de Efesios, la misión universal de Pablo se describe como una "administración de la gracia de Dios", manifestada en su convicción de que "los gentiles son coherederos, miembros del mismo cuerpo y copartícipes de la promesa en Cristo Jesús por medio del evangelio". Esta visión del amor generoso y expansivo de Dios por todos los pueblos se contrasta con una visión diferente del mundo, que utiliza el poder desnudo para oprimir y dividir a los pueblos. Herodes miente a los Reyes Magos. No quiere rendir homenaje a Cristo, sino matarlo. A Herodes no le importa el sufrimiento que cause a la gente mientras pueda prosperar (por cierto, el retrato de Mateo de Herodes como astuto y cruel es históricamente exacto). Aquí en la amenaza de Herodes y la huida de la Sagrada Familia el Evangelio de Mateo anticipa la pasión de Jesús. Leída a la luz de la experiencia contemporánea, esta fiesta no es un pintoresco cuento de hadas del pasado sino una audaz proclamación del evangelio que contrasta dos visiones del mundo totalmente diferentes: una que ve nuestro mundo diverso como fundamentalmente unido por la belleza de la creación de Dios y el poder del amor de Dios; otra que ve el mundo como una arena dura y peligrosa de fuerzas competidoras y amenazantes. Dar testimonio de la visión cristiana del mundo a través de lo que decimos y lo que hacemos es cada vez más urgente.

THE MAGI GIFT CRECHE Please help us bring the gift of dance and joy to our deaf and hearing impaired students at our parish’s elementary school, Children of Peace. Children of Peace School is the only Catholic school in the state of Illinois that provides an educational program for students who are deaf or hard of hearing. We have partnered with the Joel Hall Dance Center to provide an exciting program for the students. Joel Hall established his dance school and professional dance company in the 1970s in Chicago. Mr. Hall is hard of hearing and decided he wanted to work with our school. We first met Joel Hall last year when his company provided two performances and two workshops for our students. Our students fell in love with him and he fell in love with our students, especially our deaf students. We are blessed to have this opportunity! Be a Magi for our children! Visit Magi’s Christmas Creche and take a “wish card”. We hope your gift will help us reach a $5,000 goal to pay for the program. Thank You Fr Peter McQuinn, Pastor
