Feast of the Epiphany

+JMJ

Well, we made it! Christmas is officially over. Now comes down the lights, the trees, the crèches. But let us not put the spirit of Christmas away.

Christmas teaches us about love - the love of the Father to send us his Son through Mary who became the Mother of God, Mother of the Church, and our Mother. Let us love one another and share this gift of love everyday.

Today, Epiphany, reminds us of giving. The wise men came bearing gifts. Let us be giving of ourselves, our time and talents. Let us also remember that we can be holy givers at Holy Mass. These wise men came bearing the finest of gifts for the time. Let us be mindful not to come to Mass sloppy, and certainly not to perform/take part in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass sloppy either.

Remember these holy images, the Annunciation, Visitation, Nativity, Epiphany, and carry them into this new calendar year. As the old cliché goes, wise men still seek him! Be wise, continue to seek Christ.

God Bless,
+ Mason
