Today the church celebrates the Feast of the Epiphany of Our Lord. Epiphany means "manifestion," "making known," or "revelation". Especially today we remember how Jesus the Christ has been made known to all nations. Read the story of the adoration of the child Jesus by the magi in Matthew 2:1-12.
"Almighty and ever-living God, you revealed the incarnation of your Son by the brilliant shining of a star. Shine the light of your justice always in our hearts and over all lands, and accept our lives as the treasure we offer in your praise and for your service, through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever."
