“To experience the presence of God burning in the heart of all creation, we often need this kind of spontaneity to awaken our inner sight to Christ in our midst: in the breaking of the bread, as the image of God within everyone we meet, and especially in those whom the world (and especially the church) have cast out…”

“As you broke the river’s surface at your baptism: So reconcile me to you in peace…”
“In that time when your eyes see coldly…”

“After their astrological prognostication and perilous journey, they arrive at the house of a poor and seemingly insignificant Jewish family and proceed to prostrate themselves in front of a drooling toddler, presenting him with kingly gifts. It’s almost a comical scene.”
“Epiphany” means “to show,” or “to reveal.” This season (which completes the themes of Advent and Christmas) invites us to enter into the mystery of the early ministry of Jesus as he is “revealed” to be the Son of God throughout the gospels.
