The Miraculous Star of Bethlehem

[@CatholicK5357]

The retrograde documentary actually helped lead me back to a solid Christian faith, and came at a time when I needed it the most - like an answer to prayer. However, I now agree with this Priest, and see that it must have been entirely miraculous. I was not aware of what the Church Fathers said about it. I still think the retrograde documentary shows that God had designed within the celestial realm a way of telling the story of what was happening - but that it was separate from the actual Christmas Star. Even though I am grateful to the documentary still. I actually prefer it as a miracle. It brings back a greater childlike wonder within me. Now that I have a more solid Catholic faith, I don't really need some scientific explanation of the Xmas Star.

[@deniseculley368]

Iam 65 yrs old I have been a Catholic all my life I always heard that the end of age will be marked by a complete aligning of the planets and the and the Bethlehem star will be seen by all the people then Jesus Christ will bring a new reign of God that happens at the end of this year

[@MrBlazingup420]

You have 20 more years until the true alignment this is a precursor to what is to come on the Virgin Mother's birthday September 8th 2040 when all the visible planets align plus the Sun and Moon which will be the first day of the new Moon, not by chance, like a clock an end of a cycle, which Jupiter and Saturn keep a grand cycle of 3,535 years times by two 7,070 does the number sound familiar, I know it quite well it falls next to my birthday, the dark Moon, when Mars and the Sun are back in the same place they were on the day I was born, 7000 miles from Bethlehem and who speaks with a double bladed tongue or did John say it was a sword

Thank you for this sermon. I am rather surprised by what this priest said. I didn't hear that from anyone else, so it was rather intriguing to listen.

[@jefffinkbonner9551]

God’s Providence can indeed work through natural phenomena and the confluence of events to send a message to those who have eyes to see. God can also work wonders and miracles beyond the normal natural processes to send a glaring message. The Star of Bethlehem is squarely in the latter category. I’ll never understand why this is so hard for people to understand. “But how could that happen??” “Because God.”

so many Catholic's now days have little faith if any at all . I have had a Priest say things about Jesus feeding the 5 thousand , that because Jesus shared it made other people share , he looked at me and I was shaking my head NO , so he changed his homily .

Another effect of this search for the Star, is a further attack against the traditional dating of Christmas. The guy who said he figured it out, a Protestant, believed it was in spring.

[@MadMax31577]

The dvd I believe you are referring to does say the star was miraculous.

[@brian.louis107]

If you watched Rick Larson's version of the Bethlehem star, you'd change your mind. What he discovers is verified in old and new testament scripture passages. When he explains that through retrograde motion, Jupiter (the King planet) circles Regulus (the King Star) of the constellation Leo, the lion, that is the symbol of Judea (the tribe from which the Messiah would come) things start becoming interesting. That's only part of this extensive riddle he unravels. When you do understand what God did in the sky to signal the arrival of his Son, you will be speechless for sure!

[@lukepaul3286]

Thank you Father. Didn't St Augustine teach that Light in the beginning, the first day of creation, was the creation of angels? Did this good priest say the star seemed rational? The Star was light, it either was or hid those angels sent to Glory in God the Highest - is it possible that these same angels of light, whether as or with the Star, were the ones that appeared to the Shepherds?

[@paulahecker3401]

I agree with the movie, and I don't see it as an attack, but an affirmation of scripture. However, that being said, I also believe they have grossly misinterpreted two major events in the movie. The first is the interpretation of the heavenly display in September. If you also compare this event with other scripture about Zechariah, when the events are added up from the time he would have been in the temple offering his prayers and incense at the end of September, and was visited by the angel, to the months up until the birth of Jesus, ends around December 25th, which is when the Star stayed over Bethlehem. So that leads us to ask what event could have happened in September that signified the Virgin planet's appearance. We celebrate the Blessed Mother's birthday on September 8th. I propose that this birthday was when she became of age to become betrothed to St. Joseph! Then what could be the events in June when the bright Star of Bethlehem appeared. This could also explained by the other scripture when Mary returned from her cousin's home. St. Joseph was going to divorce her quietly because she was with child until he had a dream in which it was explained to him the origin of her child. That's when he accepted her into his home. He being a direct descendant of King David, accepted the role of father to the Messiah. According to the movie, the star rested over Bethlehem right on December 25th. That is six months after Mary was taken into Joseph's home when she was in her third month of pregnancy. All of this is collaborated with scripture, and the ancient teaching of the Catholic Church. I'm certain the movie misinterpreted these signs.

[@paulahecker3401]

I'm sorry I got ahead of my thoughts trying to explain my ideas. I hope I've explained myself well enough to give a general idea of what I was trying to convey.

[@paulahecker3401]

Also, many of the celestial signs mentioned in this movie is also tied to the celestial image on the mantle Mary is wearing in the Miraculous Image of Our Lady of Guadalupe.

Thank you Fr. In all humility, as an international scientist (well-known in my field) & Med. Physiology prof. (also quite interested in Astrophysics) I can assure you, that most scientists unfortunately lack humility. They won't admit the limits for our ability to explain things merely through science. Science does explain many things but certainly not everything. I believe in all miracles in the Bible. Besides, once we start questioning any of them, we start to lose our faith. I like all your sermons, and you seem to be the only one among your respected colleagues who sees through the so highly praised American Bishop of the 50-70s....(he is De Chardin enthusiast .., like all the post-conciliar men at the helm). If I may give you an advice in all charity and humility, refrain from using this condescending voice, you may lose some listeners. I'm sure you don't mean it.

So the firmament is outer space?

[@mathewjoseph5987]

A best way to understand of anything and particularly of visible universe is that what we see is what we are allowed (by God) to observe. So in temporal life we normally see what we see. God let some to see heaven by ‘lifting the veil of firmament’, so that men can strive to end up in heaven at least upon their death.

[@tamgonzalez751]

The 3 children at Fatima after Our Lady spoke to them she went back up to heaven. This is what Lucia describes "I saw Our Lady went up and the Firmanent open up for her then it closed ". This is a definition of Firmanent from encyclopedia- It is a SOLID ROCK DOME created by God to separate heaven and earth. There are no other planets or outer space with aliens (we have been deceived by these demonic government). There are only Heaven and Earth. Above is Heaven below is hell and purgatory. The government have try to break the Firmanent with atomic bomb with rocket but couldn't because it is a SOLID ROCK DOME God created to separate the earth and heaven. Look up the definition of Firmanent.

[@tamgonzalez751]

When they/world Government Nasa try to break/blow up the Firmanent the operation call OPERATION OF FISH BOWL. the bomb hit the Firmanent and it created a mushroom clouds. NO ONE CAN LEAVE THE EARTH (Nasa is fake create by Freemason). If you did leave the earth then you are in heaven. Please look up the word FIRMANENT. The devil always tell you the truth with a little lies (they tell you trtuth that Firmanent is a SOLID ROCK DOME that covered the Earth).

[@Convert96]

For there to be scientific proof that there was a line up of celestial bodies that looked like the Star of Bethlehem at the time in history of Our Saviors birth is not to negate the miracle of it. Example: the Wise Men were able to follow it until it stopped above the house or manger. That’s miraculous. Example: the research done on the Tilma which gives us an idea of its age, where it traveled to and where it was stored, that the paint is NOT paint and that it has not disintegrated in all these years is also miraculous. So argument is one of snobbery and unnecessary.

[@VincentSh]

Right. The scientific explanations presented so far don't explain the behaviour of the Bethlehem Star as detailed in the Gospel of St. Matthew. The scientific explanations themselves are rock solid but they don't fit together with what is mentioned in the Gospel. So we are left with either believing in miracles (which we MUST if we are serious about our faith) or in scientific accounts (I am a scientist myself), which deny the supernatural. It's conceivable that an angel from the rank of the Seraphims was utilised, as indeed some of the early Church Fathers suggested.

[@lanabowers5332]

The 'Star of Bethlehem' was not an astronomical or cosmological event. Joseph (Jesus' father) formed an alliance with Theudas, the Chief Therapeut. The 2 in warrior mode gave themselves titles drawn from an OT verse. Joseph was the 'Star' (of David) and Theudas was the 'Scepter'. The West Manassah Magi were a priestly caste of Samaritan philosophers founded in 44BC by Menahem and later led by Simon Zelotes. The Magians were Joseph's political associates. When they 'followed the star' they were agreeing with Joseph that a new Davidic king (Jesus) had been born. Because they recognized him as king, they were accepting him as legitimate. The Magi came to hail Jesus as a new member of the David dynasty to work with them in mission.

Disappointing to say the least. This is a very Protestant way to interpret Scripture. ... That is, if science observes it, it must not be true. So, the Earth is the center of the universe, and the universe is only 6,000 years old... or else atheism is proven? That's just nonsense. Satan can quote science just as he can quote scripture, and people who don't understand science will be misled. ... Merry Christmas ...
