May I say once again Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all of you!
This weekend we celebrate the Solemnity of the Epiphany of the Lord Jesus Christ. Epiphany means the revelation/manifestation of Jesus Christ as our King and Saviour not only of the Jews, but also of everyone. This Solemnity reminds us that God loves all nations and cultures and that He communicates with us in so many ways – through events, inspirations, people, and His Word. Many times these factors are combined in an interplay that becomes clear only in hindsight. The challenge is for us to comprehend God’s message and respond to it with faith, persevering generosity and courage, just as the Magi did. Let us pray for all people of the world especially those who are working hard to bring harmony, cooperation and peace for all. Have a Blessed Epiphany of the Lord!
God Loves you!
