Feast of the Epiphany

Feast of the Epiphany

Reflection

“When Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the days of King Herod, behold, magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem, saying, “Where is the newborn king of the Jews? We saw his star at its rising and have come to do him homage.””  ~ Matthew 2:1-2

Prayer

God of creation,

You guided the magi by a star, leading them to encounter your son, Jesus. You continue to guide us to Jesus through your word, through sacraments, through events in our lives, through the community of faith, through good books and movies, through music, through the beauty of creation, and most especially through the goodness and compassion of others. Inspire us, through the gift of your Holy Spirit, to be a light for others, guiding them to your presence and love in their lives. We pray in the name of our loving God. Amen.

Call to Action

Take time today to reflect on my life and consider how God might be guiding me to encounter God and God’s love for me.
