Lord, hold our troops in Your loving hands, protect them as they protect us. We ask this in the name of Jesus, Our Lord and Savior.
January 3Isaiah 60:1-6; Psalm 72; Ephesians 3:2-3a, 5-6;Matthew 2:1-12
Listening to the readings proclaimed today, it will become apparent that God intends for the Good News of salvation to be shared by everyone. From the expansive vision of Isaiah to the radical inclusion of Saint Paul, we are to understand that the journey of the magi is one that we all can undertake. The signs are there, in the heavens and in God’s word. Let us all pack our bags and seek the Lord wherever the journey takes us.

January 3, 2016 – Epiphany of the LordToday in our Christian tradition we celebrate the Epiphany or manifestation of Christ to the whole world. An epiphany can also be a new insight or realization. Gathered together on this Sunday of the Epiphany, what new insights about our faith and our God can we discover? Let us pray to be open to what God continues to do for us in our lives.
