Epiphany of the Lord, January 5, 2025
Isaiah 60: Get out of bed, Jerusalem! Wake up. Put your face in the sunlight. God's bright glory has risen for you.
Ephesians 3: The mystery is that people who have never heard of God and those who have heard of him all their lives (what I've been calling outsiders and insiders) stand on the same ground before God.
Matthew 2: They entered the house and saw the child in the arms of Mary, his mother. Overcome, they kneeled and worshiped him. Then they opened their luggage and presented gifts: gold, frankincense, myrrh.
Thanks…

Rosemary's Blessing:
When the decorations of Christmas have been packed away then the work of Christmas begins:
Lord, help us
to find the lost,
to heal those broken in spirit,
to feed the hungry,
to release the oppressed,
to rebuild the nations,
to bring peace among all peoples,
and to make a little music with the heart…
