General Announcements ADORATION The Reciprocal Gift of Adoration Love manifests itself with gifts. The perfection of the gift expresses the perfection of the love. The inspired writer goes into the most explicit details in his description of the manner and circumstances of the gift of the Magi. and opening their treasures, he says, they offered Him gifts; gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Gold is a tribute meant for kings; myrrh is reserved for the burial of the great; and frankincense symbolizes the homage we pay to God. Or rather, these three gifts represent all mankind at the feet of the Infant God; the gold represents power and riches; myrrh represents suffering; and frankincense represents prayer. The law of Eucharistic worship began at Bethlehem to find its continuation in the cenacle of the Eucharist. The kings began, we must continue. The Eucharist is also the source of our obligations, the love of the Eucharist obliges us to reciprocate generously. The Magi are our models the first adorers. Let us be worthy of their royal faith in Jesus Christ. Let us be heirs to their love, and one day we will be heirs to their glory. Amen. Make a commitment for the New Year to spend an hour with Jesus. The greatest gift to one another is the gift of prayer. A 2nd person is needed on Wednesdays from 3-4 pm. Please call Ruthann at 756-8551 if you can fill this time.
