SUNDAY’S GOSPEL—December 25, 2018 & January 6, 2019 – Christmas & Epiphany

378

Christmas: Luke 2:1–14

Epiphany: Matthew 2:1–12

Christmas celebrates God’s becoming one of us and one with us. Jesus comes as an infant, placed in the care of a struggling but loving family. The Feast of the Epiphany, a word that means “manifestation,” celebrates how Jesus was revealed as far more than the king of the Jews. He is revealed as God’s Son. Matthew’s story of the visit of the Magi from the East makes it clear that Jesus came to all people who seek God.

Navidad: Lucas 2, 1–14

Epifania: Mateo 2, 1–12

La Navidad celebra a Dios hecho uno de nosotros y con nosotros. Jesús viene como un niño al cuidado de una familia que tiene dificultades pero que es amorosa. La Solemnidad de la Epifanía, es una palabra, significa “manifestación” y celebra cómo Jesús fue revelado como algo más que rey de los judíos. Él es revelado como el Hijo de Dios. El relato de Mateo de la visita de los Reyes Magos provenientes de Oriente revela claramente que Jesús vino a todas las personas que buscan a Dios.
