Celebrating The Epiphany

8:40:00 AM












Today we celebrate The Epiphany in the Church calendar. Here is a direct insert from Common Prayer:

Epiphany means "to make manifest". By the fourth century, Epiphany was a major annual celebration of the Church. It is a season when we see Jesus' divine mission revealed when the magi visit him, and then we remember his baptism, miracles, ministry, and his call for us to follow. (Common Prayer, pg. 95)

Join me in prayer:
Lord Jesus, you have shown yourself to the nations and transformed many by your radiant light. Your ongoing revelations bring a continual rebirth, recreating each of us in your likeness. May today's rising sun remind us that your light is for the healing of the nations. Amen.
