Many traditions surrounding the magi underscore the idea that Jesus was born not to save just a few in Israel, not just many in the Middle East, but everyone on earth. The world is so vast, however, and people are so varied that many must work together to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ. As we gather here today, let us pray for the wisdom and courage that we need to help evangelize the world. When people in the entertainment industry reach a top level of fame and expertise in their profession, we talk about them as having a lot of star power. These are the men and women who eclipse lesser lights in the entertainment constellation. No matter the generation, there are always names like Monroe, Taylor, Burton, Olivier, McCartney, Springsteen, Madonna, Hanks, Streep, or Sarandon who will shine brighter than others who will also have their name inscribed on the Walk of Fame. Stars at this level of their craft can basically ask for whatever they want because they are sought after by just about everyone. Their performances, whether a live concert or on the screen, have the ability to unite people in a common experience. The real "star" of Matthew's Gospel today is not the one that appears in the sky to the Magi. Yes, that star is an important sign-it led the Magi from the east to Jerusalem where they learned of the prophecy about Bethlehem. That star led them to the home of the Child they would worship. This Child is the real star of the Gospel story. He comes into the world. In the midst of conflict and division, exemplified by Herod's distrust and fear, Jesus comes as the newborn king to save his people from their sins. As Matthew tells it, Jesus is the One who unites faithful Jew and believing Gentile bringing together all those who would seek the truth and follow his teaching. The feast of the Epiphany celebrates the manifestation of Christ to the world. His revelation means that people must choose whether to follow him or not. Herod had that choice. So did the Magi. Men and women from every race and nation come to Christ. Once they choose to follow Christ, they become brothers and sisters of one another. Christ unites all believers in a common experience, his call to love. That's star power beyond imagining! 2012 Liturgical Publications Inc

In many parts of the country, the question has become, Is it really possible for a pastor to adequately pastor more than 5 parishes? Your question has been answered affirmatively in these areas of the nation at issue is how much help he gets from deacons and the laity. It s unclear what you mean by large parishes, but it is doubtful that at this stage, two of our largest parishes would be clustered. 2012 Bishop s Annual Appeal Christ Alive in His People The Department of Worship & Liturgical Formation promotes, fosters and supports prayerful worship throughout the Diocese of Metuchen by celebrating vibrant ministries and forming our ministers and people in excellent and uniform standards in accordance with the documents and traditions of the Church.
