Nothing is greater or holier than the unbloody sacrifice of the Mass, in which the body and blood of Christ are offered to God for the salvation of all. Holy Mother the Church has always been careful and diligent in order that the Mass be celebrated by priests with clean and pure hearts. It should be celebrated with the proper splendor of sacred ceremonies and rites so that the greatness of this mystery will shine forth all the more even from external appearances. This will also arouse the faithful to the contemplation of divine things hidden in such an admirable and venerable sacrifice. And with like solicitude and devotion, the same most holy Mother has never ceased to urge, exhort, and influence her faithful sons to frequently attend this divine sacrifice with due piety, veneration and devotion. She teaches that they must at all cost be present at it on all holy days of obligation, with their minds and eyes religiously intent on that from which the divine mercy and an abundance of all good things might be acquired.

Oh Holy Mary ever Virgin and conceived without sin;

             Pray for us who have recourse to thee.

 Feast of The Epiphany Monday Jan 6th at 7:00 P.M. Traditional Latin Mass 

St. Martha Church 214 Brainard rd. Enfield CT

Reflection for the Epiphany

The Epiphany of the Lord is the manifestation of Christ who is the light and salvation of God for all peoples.  God manifested the arrival of the true King to the Magi and they start a long and arduous journey to search for the Child.  Guided by the light of a star they found Him and adored Him.
The Magi embody all those who with hope and faith search for that light that can return the meaning to their lives. In other words, those who seek God. Faith is a constant search that requires crossing through darkness, as we encounter difficulties and abandon the comfort of our own thinking, in order to walk the extraordinary paths that lead to God.
The Magi were humble and simple individuals. They did not flaunt their human wisdom. Prostrated before a child like any other, they discovered in Him the Prince and Master of all wisdom. As a result, they opened their gifts, more importantly their hearts to the child. Their reward would be being filled with the divine mystery. They were able to find what others were incapable of finding: neither the prideful scribes, nor the ambitious Herod. Perhaps the Magi had a childlike heart, capable of dreaming and believing the incredible.
Like Herod, the arrogant who can’t lift their eyes to the skies, the short-sighted towards the manifestations of God, the hard-hearted and those who live in selfishness and ambition can never experience and celebrate the Epiphany. Because the Epiphany is radiance for those who know to lift their eyes to Heaven and don’t become hunched towards earthly things. The Magi knew how to read the message of God in the star and they searched for it in the darkness and became wisely deaf to the opinions of others, especially towards the poisonous interests of Herod.
Thus, dearly beloved, let us become manifestation of the God of love, hope and justice. Let us offer our Savior Jesus and our brethren the best of us: our heart, our life, and our time.  Hopefully, we can become like a star that guides, orients and shine over those who seek God.
