A Blessed Christmas! The Solemnity of the Epiphany highlights
three moments of Revelation: the Coming of the Magi, the Baptism of the Lord
and the Wedding Feast of Cana.
In each of these events
of Salvation History, the Glory of Jesus as the Lord is revealed. The Magi worship the Holy Infant as King, God
and Sacrifice. The Father and the Spirit
make known the fact that the One being baptized by John is the Beloved Son and
the Bearer of the Spirit who brings Salvation.
The first disciples of Jesus begin to believe in Him as they see water
made wine, pointing to the coming of the Messiah Who is robed with power and
glory.
We are invited to
attend to these Mysteries and to renew our own commitment to follow the Lord
where He leads. He is Light from Light,
the One Who leads us from the darkness of sin and death into the hope of Glory
in God’s Kingdom.
Our Christmas
celebration concludes on Monday with the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord. We enter into a short jaunt through Ordinary
Time now, until Lent begins on February 14, Ash Wednesday. May we continue to contemplate the glory of
the Lord as He comes to us day by day.
