Reflection - Week of January 5, 2025
Question of the Week:
Who can I ask for help in my search for the Lord? How can I overcome doubt or disappointment when I experience them?
Bethlehem is only about five miles from Jerusalem. The magi, after a journey of a thousand miles or more, probably assumed the newborn king would be found in Jerusalem. Bethlehem was unexpected. It took a consultation with the chief priests and scribes to learn their true destination. Science and faith, working together, allowed them to find the Christ, the truth.
Do you wonder if the magi, for at least a moment, doubted themselves when they ended up at a forlorn stable looking at a baby in a feeding trough? Or at least disappointed? Perhaps this was their true epiphany, finding the newborn king in a most unexpected place. For us too, doubts and disappointment may be precursors to an epiphany.

Resumption of Sunday Mass Obligation
"Effective Easter Sunday, April 4 (or as of the Easter Vigil, April 3), I am ending the dispensation from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass, which has been in effect since mid-March 2020. However, anyone who is sick, may have been exposed to anyone with COVID-19, or who has a health condition that would endanger themselves or others by being present in church, continues to be dispensed."
-Bishop Larry Silva
