A Message from Fr. Tony
Un mensaje de parte de Padre Tony
PARTNERS IN THE PROMISE
PARTICIPANTES EN LA PROMESA
As a society, during these days we can be in
something of a “postpartum” depression.
Our celebrations of Christmas and the New
Year are over, and after today many of us
will put away the decorations and the last
visible remnants of the celebrations of the
past weeks. The apostle Paul today uses the
expression “partners in the promise.” This is
an uplifting phrase for us to reflect upon,
and to think of as our own calling in these
days following the birth of the Lord. What is
this promise? We can find it in the gifts the
magi bring: it is a promise of being a royal
priesthood (gold), a holy nation
(frankincense), a people set apart for selfgiving (myrrh). We find more of the promise
in Isaiah—a light shines upon us! In the
psalm we know a promise of a world of
flowering justice, profound peace, the poor
rescued, pity for the lowly and the poor.
This is the promise; and one of the best
ways for us to lift ourselves out of any possible low spirits we may be suffering is to
live out our partnership in this promise each
and every day.
Las celebraciones de Navidad y Año Nuevo
se han terminado, y después de hoy Día de
los Reyes Magos, muchos de nosotros guardaremos las decoraciones y los últimos vestigios de las celebraciones de las semanas
pasadas. El apóstol Pablo usa la expresión
“participantes de la promesa”. Esta es una
frase digna de reflexionar, y de pensar que
es nuestro llamado en estos días después
del nacimiento del Señor. ¿Cuál es esta promesa? Podemos encontrarla en los regalos
que traen los magos: la promesa de ser un
sacerdocio real (oro), una nación santa
(incienso), un pueblo escogido para dar de
sí (mirra). Encontramos otro aspecto de la
promesa en Isaías ‑¡una luz que nos alumbra! En el salmo encontramos la promesa de
un mundo en donde florece la justicia, la
paz profunda, los pobres rescatados, piedad
para los humildes y los pobres. Esta es la
promesa; y una de las mejores maneras de
continuar el espíritu de generosidad navideña es vivir día a día nuestra parte como participantes en esta promesa.

Epiphany celebrates the wake up calls of life, the showings of God’s majesty and power in the person of Jesus.
The feast alerts us to look for signs of the Lord’s grace
and ac on in our lives today. In this context, the call of
the Second Va can Council to reform the sacramental
life of the Church, including our pa ern of care for the
sick, is indeed a holy awakening.
Prior to the 1960s, our care for the sick had collapsed in
the popular imagina on into something everyone called
“last rites.” An immensely complicated ritual, with
anoin ng accompanied by quickly mu ered La n prayers, was enacted for a marginally conscious person at
“death’s door.” By the me a priest was called, the sick
person might not be able to receive via cum, or derive
much personal benefit from the ritual. The healing
effects of the sacrament, inves ng suffering with the
dignity of a link to Christ’s cross, and the immense assurance of forgiveness for a person reviewing the life journey, were hidden. Suddenly, an epiphany swept through
the Church, and the way we care for the sick was u erly
transformed. It took several centuries, however, for the
Church to reach that moment of renewal.
