The feast of Epiphany offers us an insight into understanding the pilgrimage of our lives. Guided by the light of Christ we travel on our pilgrim path through this world to our destination in Heaven, learning life’s lessons along the way.
St. John in his First Letter offers us an example of spiritual detachment, a discipline whereby we do not let earthly things “tie us down” and keep us from God.
The first reading offers us a profound insight: our love for one another reveals the truth of our love for the Lord. May we live our faith every day, loving and forgiving each other with the grace of Jesus Christ.
There are times when we witness senseless violence and tragedy in our lives. In these moments of horror and grief, we draw strength from the Lord who empowers us to face the darkness and offer his light.
St. John reveals in his First Letter how as a witness to the Good News of Jesus he joyfully shares this message of hope. May we be inspired to live our faith in Christ with the same intensity.
The Gospel of Luke recounts how Jesus is reunited with Mary and Joseph after they searched for three days to find him. May our families also be reunited with the Lord in “his Father’s house” as we encounter Christ in prayer and sacrament.
