THE THIRD SUNDAY AFTER EPIPHANY The Sundays after Epiphany—preceding
the pre-Lenten Sunday of Septuagesima—are the initial Sundays of the Tempus per Annum (“time throughout the
year”), which on the ordinary form calendar is (mis)translated in English as
“ordinary time”. These are the Sundays of the year—those after Epiphany and
those after Pentecost—which don’t belong to special liturgical seasons like
Advent, Christmastide, Lent, etc. Each of the Gospels for these Sundays
after Epiphany presents a particular manifestation (or “epiphany”) of the
Divinity of Our Lord Jesus Christ. On this Third Sunday after Epiphany
we recall His manifestation of His
divinity by the miracles of curing a leper and a servant paralyzed with
palsy, as described in this Sunday’s Gospel (Matthew
8:1-13): Jesus, with a word, cleanses a leper. And behold a leper came and adored him, saying: Lord, if thou wilt,
thou canst make me clean. And Jesus stretching
forth his hand, touched him, saying: I will, be thou made clean. And
forthwith his leprosy was cleansed. (Matthew
8:2-3)
Jesus cures
the centurion’s servant at a distance. And when he had entered into Capharnaum, there came to him a centurion,
beseeching him, And saying, Lord,
my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, and is grieviously tormented. And Jesus saith to him: I will come and
heal him. And
the centurion making answer, said: Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldst
enter under my roof: but only say the word, and my servant shall be healed.
. . . And Jesus said to the
centurion: Go, and as thou hast believed, so be it done to thee. And the
servant was healed at the same hour. (Matthew 8:5-8,13)
THE MOST EFFECTIVE VACCINE AGAINST THE CORONAVIRUS? “But,
seeing that, in addition to reason, it is necessary to live through this
pandemic in the light of faith, we can indicate the existence of a remedy
against the Coronavirus which is by far the most effective since it prevents
not only bodily ills - which everyone fears - but also the much more
dangerous ones, those of the soul - which nobody addresses.
“I am referring to the Miraculous Medal which we celebrate
on November 27th. It was Our Lady Herself Who appeared to Catherine
Labourè that day in 1830. She was 24 years old at the time and a novice at
the Motherhouse of the Sisters of Charity, in Rue du Bac, Paris.
Catherine Labouré recounts that she saw: “a somewhat oval frame forming
around the Holy Virgin, upon which in a half-circle from the right to the
left of Mary these words written in gold-letters could be read: “O Mary
conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to you,”
Then a voice was heard that said to me: ‘Have a medal struck upon this model.
Those who wear it will receive great graces, especially if they wear it
around the neck’. In an instant it seemed to me the frame turned around
and I saw the other side of the Medal. There was the letter M (Mary’s
initial) surmounted by a cross without a crucifix which had as a base the
letter I (initial of the name of Iesus –Jesus). Then further below there were
two hearts, one encircled by thorns (representing Jesus’ heart), the
other pierced by a sword (Mary’s). Lastly, twelve stars encircled
everything. Then everything vanished, like something switching off, and I was
left filled with - I don’t know how to express it - good sentiments, of
joy and consolation.” “The first 1500 examples of the medal requested by Our
Lady were produced in 1832. Since then, graces and miracles have multiplied
the requests for the medals: sinners converted, the dying healed, dangers
thwarted and graces of every type obtained. [ Continue reading here a fact-filled summary of the
miracle-filled history of the Miraculous Medal. ] “The Miraculous Medal should be blessed and then worn,
preferably round the neck. May its devotees not only wear it round
their neck or on their clothes, but diffuse it, in their homes, in places of
pain and those of sin, wherever it can be distributed. “The Miraculous Medal, worn with faith by many Catholics
all over the world, still continues its extraordinary mission today and is a
prodigious vaccine against the evils of our time. The last great miracle we
ask of it, is the dissipation of the darkness of chaos, enveloping the world
we live in.” ONLINE KNOXVILLE LATIN
