Message from the Rector Dear People of God, Christmas morn has passed, but we continue our Christmas Season as we celebrate this weekend the Feast of the Epiphany. What does Epiphany mean? As many of you know, Epiphany means appearance or revelation. It means a showing, a direction for our search. And interestingly enough, the scriptures imply it is a search that everyone must make. Luke, in the Gospel, has the poor searching in the form of shepherds. Matthew, in his Gospel, has the learned and rich searching in the form of the Magi. So the message is that there is room for everybody in this search for life s meaning and purpose, from no degrees to PhD s, from shepherds to executives. And so to the Magi. They are three searchers who did not find the answer to life in their horoscopes, but took a long and difficult journey to another country in search of the Christ. The Feast of the Epiphany means finding Christ. It is not a one-time thing. Rather, finding the Lord is a life-long quest, like a marriage or a profound friendship. And we, like the Magi, gather to focus on the One who loves us and abides with us. The more we connect the way of Jesus with our story if searching is our road, then finding will be our home. Epiphany is about dreams, hopes, searching and direction. The destination is not as critical as the journey. In our life, what are we searching for and what are we finding? We sometimes seek happiness in all the wrong places. Dream big dreams! However, in our search, always keep our eyes fixed on the Lord Jesus Christ and doors will open we never dreamed possible. Reflect upon the following story............ And pass it on............ The Little Hut The only survivor of the shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited island. He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him and every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming. Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect himself from the elements, and to store his few possessions. But then one day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, the smoke rolling up to the sky. The worst had happened everything was lost. He was stunned with grief and anger. God, how could you do this to me? he cried. Early the next day, however, he was awakened by the sound of a ship that was approaching the island. It had come to rescue him. How did you know I was here? asked the weary man of his rescuers. We saw your smoke signal, they replied. It s easy to get discouraged sometimes when things appear to be going badly. But we shouldn t lose heart, because God is at work in our lives, even in the midst of pain and suffering. Remember, the next time your little hut is burning to the ground, it just may be a smoke signal that summons the grace of God. Epiphany also means letting life surprise us. Keep reading... When I was a small boy in Kansas, a friend of mine and I went fishing and as we sat there in the warmth of the summer afternoon on a riverboat, we talked about what we wanted to do when we grew up. I told him that I wanted to be a real major league baseball player, a genuine professional like Honus Wagner. My friend said that he d like to be President of the United States. Neither of us got our wish. - Dwight D. Eisenhower 34th President of the United States Blessings in the New Year, Fr. Greg 2 The Epiphany of the Lord January 6, 2019
We Remember and Celebrate Upcoming Weddings at the Cathedral III. Jordan Mesa & Jessica Pfeiffer Pope Francis is inviting Catholics throughout the world to pray the rosary every day to ask St. Michael the Archangel to protect the Church from the devil, who is always trying to separate us from God and from each other. The prayer to St. Michael was composed by Pope Leo XIII. St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil; may God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl through the world seeking the ruin of souls.

Liturgy EPIPHANY In our celebration of the Epiphany, two interwoven themes are present in the readings today. God is beginning something new and God gathers all of humanity to participate. For Isaiah, God s bright light, manifested in the people of Israel, attracts and summons people from many nations to Jerusalem. In the letter to the Ephesians, God's grace makes the Gentiles co-heirs and co-partners in the gospel. Matthew tells the story of the fulfillment of God's promises to Israel through the birth of Jesus, and simultaneously leading foreigners to share in these same promises. With the birth of Jesus, God chose a particular people, in a particular time and place, to enter most directly into the human story. Today's readings teach that God did this in order to gather all people, all cultures, into unity with God. Like the magi, we are drawn into a journey toward God, becoming co-partners in God's work. JOURNEY OF TRANSFORMATION Tradition, poetry, and literature have long reflected upon the story of the Magi. The journey of the Magi indeed resonates with journeys in our own lives. The journey is a search for a king, for what or who is of primary importance in life. The seekers lose direction and encounter obstacles and dangers. Searching for a king, the Magi first come upon a false king, Herod. The reappearance of the star shows them the true path and leads to the true king. For Matthew, the journey culminates in the Magi s worship of Jesus. They discover a king not clothed in grandeur, but wrapped in humility and simplicity. They begin to reimagine what true royal power really is. Transformed by the journey, they embrace the humble king, Jesus. HNC PILGRIMAGE TO POLAND August 24 September 3, 2019 Join Fr. Marek M.

The light from the candle's flame is a powerful symbol of Christ, the Light of the World. We just installed new votive candle lights in the sanctuary by the Blessed Mother Altar. Consider lighting a candle for your loved one during this Christmas season or for an special intention.

Faith Formation BOOST YOUR BELIEFS: Ministry of Accompaniment: No One Should Wear These Shoes People in our community are wearing shoes that hurt, that are too big, that others stare upon and sometimes laugh at the shoes as well as the persons wearing the shoes. Mothers and families are crying out for our faith communities to walk with them, to feel their pain and to look upon them not as other but as brother or sister. We are invited, in this year of 2019, to break down the walls that divide us and open our hearts to those who are walking alone, hurting and without hope. Sister Donna Liette is a Sister of the Precious Blood. Her present ministry is at Precious Blood Ministry of Reconciliation (PBMR) where she accompanies Mothers and families through the trauma of violence and incarceration. Thursday, January 17 6:30 p.m., Clubroom Register online https://tinyurl.com/boost11719 CATECHETICAL MOMENT: Symbolism of the Magi s Gifts Scripture does not state that there were three Magi. Instead the number is based on the gifts mentioned in Matthew 2:11. The gifts have also been interpreted to have a specific symbolism: The gold represents Christ s kingship; frankincense, a sweet-smelling resin used in worship, his priesthood; and myrrh, an ointment used in burial, foreshadows his death. NEW RCIA COHORT GATHERING We are currently gathering persons for a February cohort for those who are discerning to become a Catholic. If you are curious, set up a time with us to ask questions. If you know someone who is curious about the Catholic Faith, encourage him or her to set a time for a discussion. Sometimes, a person needs some help to make that first move. You may even serve as sponsor of a candidate. Contact Fr. Don Cambe or Dr. Ken Ortega. dcambe@holynamecathedral.org kortega@holynamecathedral.org. ADULT CONFIRMATION There are many reasons that adults (18 years and over) may not have received the sacrament of Confirmation. The eight session process begins in late February. Please note that if you are seeking Confirmation and Eucharist, the RCIA ministry is the appropriate preparation.

Stewardship and Development Feast of the Epiphany The story goes that on the Epiphany the Wise Men brought symbolic gifts of Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh to the Christ child. A few days later, the story not as well known continued. The three wise women came for their visit to the Infant Jesus bringing to Mary, diapers, formula and a casserole dish! HAPPY EPIPHANY! Enjoy the final day of the celebration of the Christmas Season! Thank you for the many ways you GIFTED throughout this joy-filled season. 8 The Epiphany of the Lord January 6, 2019

This miraculous statue was later discovered blackened and covered with ashes after a coastal town was set on fire and razed by the Spaniards, who brought Christianity to the Philippines. The image of the Santo Niño is the oldest surviving Catholic relic in the Philippines, along with the Magellan cross. At Holy Name, the Feast of Santo Niño includes Illinois and Indiana devotees, who bring their Santo Niño statues for blessings during the Mass. All are welcome to attend. Reception follows the event.
