Solemnity of Epiphany


Rise up in splendor, Jerusalem! Your light has come, the glory of the Lord shines upon you. See, darkness covers the earth, and thick clouds cover the peoples; but upon you the Lord shines, and over you appears his glory. ~Isaiah 60:1-2

We, too, can become bearers of the light that comes from Bethlehem. Then we can pray, full of confidence: Adveniat regnum tuum. Your kingdom come! Your light come! Your peace come! ~Pope Benedict XVI

Old
promises,
answered now,
in the newborn babe.

The Christ now within us,
our lives forever
changed.

You
make us
shining stars
to lead all people

to you.

A. Osdieck
