Making Our Offering

Popular traditions and symbolism surround
the feast which is celebrated Sunday, the Epi-
phany all of these helping to interpret its sig
nificance and emphasize its importance as one
of the great feasts of the Church year.
The Epiphany commentaries how there came
Magi to Bethlehem, from the East, guided by
miraculous star, and how, when they found the
Infant Savior with Mary His mother, they fell
down and WOrshipped Him, offering Him gifts
Of gold frankincenSe and myrrh." These visit
ors were not kings, and there is nothing in the
Gospel account to indicate how many there
were nevertheless they are commonly referred
to as the Three Kings" and names have been
supplied for them: GaSpar Melchor, and
Baltassar. BY some Mechior is said to have
presented gold to Christ as Lord and ruler of
the world, Gaspar TO have given frankincense
in acknowledgement of His divinity, and Bait.
assar TO have offered myrrh in token of His
humanity. Again the gold is considered to rep
resent the offering of love, frankincense the of
fering of prayer, and myrrh the offering of pen
ance and selfdenial.
These Celebrations Of the Gospel narrative
dear to the hearts of the people all through the
Christian era, show that the meaning of the
Epiphany has been clear from the beginning
II the Magi we're not kings they came as spokeS-
men for the kings of all time, and for the people,
too, of low and high estate; through these Magi,

Bethlehem, so that they might worship the new
born King, leads us today, just as it led our IA
theirs and their fathers.
Their coming meant the beginning of the full
fillment of the overwhelming prophecy which
the Church uses as part of the liturgy for the
Mass of the Epiphany "The kings Of Tharsis
and the islands shall offer presents; the kings
of the Arabians and of Saba shall bring gifts;
and all kings of the earth shall worship Him; all
nations shall serve Him." And the Jerusalem 10
which the Magi we're led on their way to find
the Savior is figure of the new Holy City,
the Church. instituted by the Savior, which
1saias addresses in prophetic eXaltation: Dark
ness shall cover the earth, and thick darkness
the people; but upon thee shall the Lord arise,
and upon thee shall His glory be seen =. thy
heart shall wonder and be enlarged, when the
multitude like The sea shall be converted to thee,
when the strength of the GentileS shall come TO
thee" What multitudes, indeed have been con-
verted to the fold of Christ! With that bright
ness does He inspire His followers, even while
darkness, as in our day, is over all the earth!
The offerings which the Magi brought were
their precious possessions, and when they offer
ed them to the King and Savior His acceptance
made them doubly precious. The thousands who
are now offering Him the myrrh of their en-
durance of bitter persecution are sustained by
the light Of His grace; shall not we, who are
spared such a test of our faith, strengthen 1t
by richer gifts to Him of our love and our
PRAYERS?

We Could Use More OF This

Disputes between employers and employees

Maher, Director of Hospitals for the Diocese
of Toledo, said, "The hospitals see the plan as
beneficial not only to the employees but also
to the patients and to the public"
The Catholic Times commends the men and
women who worked out this amcable settlement
which both sides hail as beneficial and just to
employer and employee alike. The willingness
to recognize the rights of the other parties to
the contract should be commended.
But more!
Both Spokesmen express a concern for the
general public and particularly for the sick
patients which hospital administration an. en-
ployees serve. We read into these statements
the acceptance of responsibility to the commun-
ity in general about which the Holy Father has
spoken many times. II is hoped that the leader

in Toledo will be reflected in the attitudes of

The general timeliness of the
