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. HOLY HOUR Begin the New Year in the awesome Presence of Jesus.

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.
