I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages.

I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Blessed are those called to the supper of the Lamb. MOTET (10:00 a.m.) In the Bleak Midwinter, Bob Chilcott In the bleak mid-winter Frosty wind made moan. Earth stood hard as iron, Water like a stone. Snow had fallen, snow on snow, Snow on snow. In the bleak mid-winter long ago. Our God, Heaven cannot hold Him, Nor earth sustain Heaven and earth shall flee away. When He comes to reign. In the bleak mid-winter, A stable-place sufficed The Lord God Almighty Jesus Christ. Enough for Him, whom cherubim, Worship night and day, A breast full of milk, And a mangerful of hay, Enough for Him, whom angels, Fall down before, The ox and ass and camel, Which adore. What can I give Him, Poor as I am? If I were a shepherd I would bring a lamb, If I were a wise man I would do my part, Yet what I can I give Him, Give my heart. Christina Rosetti ORATE FRATRES Celebrant: Pray brethren, that my sacrifice and yours may be acceptable to God, the almighty Father. May the Lord accept the sacrifice at your hands for the praise and glory of his name, for our good and the good of all his holy Church. HOLY COMMUNION Catholics who are properly disposed are invited to come forward to receive Holy Communion. Our brothers and sisters of other faiths are invited to approach with arms crossed over the chest to receive a blessing.

Ford SANCTUS MEMORIAL ACCLAMATION Celebrant: The mystery of faith. MOTET (10:00 a.m.) Jesus Christ the apple tree, Elizabeth Poston The tree of life my soul hath seen, Laden with fruit and always green: The trees of nature fruitless be Compared with Christ the apple tree. His beauty doth all things excel: By faith I know, but ne er can tell The glory which I now can see In Jesus Christ the apple tree. For happiness I long have sought, And pleasure dearly I have bought: I missed of all; but now I see Tis found in Christ the apple tree. I m weary with my former toil, Here I will sit and rest awhile: Under the shadow I will be, Of Jesus Christ the apple tree. This fruit doth make my soul to thrive, It keeps my dying faith alive; Which makes my soul in haste to be With Jesus Christ the apple tree.

Unlike the story of the Annunciation, Daniélou asserted that the adoration of the Magi does not touch upon any essential aspect of the faith. No foundation would be shaken if it were simply an invention of Matthew s based upon a theological idea. But the Pope went on to write: Daniélou himself, though, comes to the conclusion that we are dealing here with historical events, whose theological significance was worked out by the Jewish Christian community and by Matthew. This is a key point to behold while not of the essence of the faith, the Holy Father holds to the basic historicity of these events. Media reports that Pope Benedict denied the historicity of Epiphany are not at all supported by the facts. On this Feast of the Epiphany, it would be helpful to review the significance of this event. True, certain aspects of this account have been presented in such a familiar way that we assume the Magi arrived on Christmas Day itself, a detail that the Gospel does not explicitly indicate. Consider that Herod ordered the massacre of all the boys in Bethlehem and its vicinity two years old and under, in accordance with the time he had ascertained from the magi. This itself speaks to the event s historicity, indicating that the magi appeared at some point in this time frame surrounding the birth of Jesus. While the Magi have been described as astrologers, in point of fact, their function was much more akin to our modern notion of astronomers, a decidedly different role. These were not the Jeane Canterbury Cathedral, England 13th C. Dixon s of their era, authors of the daily horoscope in the Bethlehem Times. Their focus was scientific and something else had to motivate them beyond that. Why else would they present gifts upon their arrival? In his engaging and readable volume on the infancy narratives, Pope Benedict XVI relates the research indicating that a small group of astronomers still existed in the city of Babylon at the time of Jesus birth. Planetary conjunction of the planets Jupiter and Saturn in the constellation Pisces occurred in 6 B.C. now believed to be the actual date of Jesus; birth, and this planetary conjunction may well have been the event that pointed the Magi in the direction of Judea. This solution was proposed in 1603 A.D. by the German astronomer Johannes Kepler, who surmised that this conjunction happened in 800-year intervals. In addition, a supernova exploded around that time as well, another possible suspect in this mystery. Kepler s hypothesis has found supporters centuries later in our own day. In short, the Babylonian astronomers were able to conclude that there had been a universally significant event: the birth in the land of the Jews of a ruler who would bring salvation. (The Infancy Narratives, p. 99) Through Divine Providence, could not God have used a naturally occurring (though extremely rare) phenomenon, one that would certainly appear to observers as a star moving? Many of you are old enough to remember

5 Page 5 the late Dr. Karlis Kaufmanis, U of Minnesota Astronomer, who delivered his fascinating lectures about the Star of Bethlehem. In the event he describes, both planets remained side by side and passed each other three times during an eight-month period. Kaufmanis argued that on the morning of April 12 (in 7 or 6 B.C.) shortly before sunrise, the planets emerged in the rays of the glowing dawn and appeared in Pisces, that is, in the rectangular position of the zodiac sign of Pisces that the ancient Jewish astronomers saw as representing Palestine. The discrepancy of the year is partially due to an honest error in 525 A.D. by a monk named Dionysius. He wanted to calculate time, not from the founding of Rome, but from the birth of Christ. Trouble is, the year that he determined as 1 A.D. was actually off by several years. Sadly it took a millennium to realize this. While it may be of academic interest to discuss the various theories with respect to the infancy narratives, the spiritual significance is of paramount importance. The Church holds to the basic historical truths of the Gospels, even as she acknowledges that we must also take into account the intentions of the authors in communicating truths. Far from a detailed diary of events, the sacred authors intended to communicate the saving truths that Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world, and not only of the Jews in Palestine. His salvific role is truly universal. The Magi represent the true catholicity of the Church and signal that God wills all of humanity to know the saving message of freedom found in Christ Jesus. Epiphany comes from a Greek word meaning to shine upon or manifestation, and it is profitable to reflect on the many ways in which God is manifest in our own lives. May we never lose the connection between faith and wonder. Merry Christmas! We are delighted to be able to distribute beautiful commemorative 2015 Wall Calendars for each parish household after Mass today. It contains interesting historical information, current feast days and color photos of our Church. We hope you enjoy this gift! Every effort has been made to minimize the disruption to our normal Sunday routine in the build up for the Crashed Ice Race, January Held in conjunction with the St. Paul Winter Carnival, the workers will refrain from closing down the streets approaching the Cathedral on Sunday mornings. While parking will be more limited, I urge your continued participation and support at Sunday Mass during January. The sarcastic Christmas Day tweet of astrophysicist Neil degrasse Tyson On this day long ago, a child was born who, by age 30, would transform the world. Happy Birthday Isaac Newton b. Dec 25, was neither funny, nor accurate. Since Anglican England did not initially adopt the more accurate Gregorian Calendar, due to anti- Roman sentiment, Newton was actually born on January 4, Tweet that, Neil! The Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend was ordered to pay $1.95 million in damages to a Catholic school teacher who had been dismissed for undergoing in vitro fertilization, even though she had signed an employment agreement promising to uphold Church teaching and refused to offer any sign of remorse when it became public. IVF routinely involves the destruction of multiple embryos in search of the most viable. This ruling is being appealed to a higher court and has far reaching implications for religious freedom. Sincerely in Christ, Fr. John L. Ubel, Rector CATHEDRAL CALENDAR Mass, Confessions, Eucharistic Adoration, and tours are listed on page 4.

RED BULL CRASHED ICE This year's Crashed Ice Event is making more extensive use of the Cathedral stairs as the course's starting point for the race, largely to highlight our facade with its beautiful Rose Window. Structural Engineers have assured us that the structure will not damage our stairs, also minimizing the chances for people to slip on the stairs. Additionally, we have been given assurances that John Ireland Blvd. will remain open on Sunday mornings, making it easier to access the main Cathedral parking lot. While the month presents some challenges, the benefits outweigh the challenges.

7 Page 7 VOICES FROM THE ARCHIVES Financial Report January, 2015 At the beginning of the New Year, 1915, the Executive Committee for the Building of the New Cathedral of Saint Paul presented the Archbishop with a detailed statement of the cost of the Cathedral to date; the total being the sum of $1,402, Of this sum $94, was spent for the site and the changing of Summit Ave.... The amount spent on construction work for the building itself was $1,223, There is still to be expended on the contracts now in force, the sum of $173, Of this about $70, is in sight, leaving a deficit of about $100, The accumulations and resources of the Diocese are at an end, for the present, and a discussion ensued as to the best means of raising this sum, so as to have the Cathedral free from debt when it is opened on Palm Sunday, March 28, Characteristically Ireland set about raising the funds: he would have a plan within weeks to raise the funds. While concerns about the deficit occupied the Archbishop, the completion of the grand steps occupied Masqueray and the granite contractors Clark and McCormack. McCormack records work done on the steps with Frank Slifer, one of Masqueray s associates. McCormack suggested that the steps should be 2 feet wide. But Slifer, on Masqueray s order, writes that the steps will be 2 feet 6 inches wide to complete the planned design for the frontal approach to the Cathedral. Inches were important to the design of what would be Masqueray s Beaux-artes masterpiece. So stone by stone, inches given and inches taken away, 51 perfectly designed, beautifully proportioned steps rose one by one to the main entrance of the New Cathedral of Saint Paul. ACSP.
