Dear friend,
This Sunday we will be celebrating the Feast of the
Baptism of our Lord and renewing our own baptismal
promises. This is the first Sunday after the
Epiphany. Throughout Epiphanytide I'll be sharing
poetry, prayers and reflections
on
Epiphany. Enjoy! Jennifer
Light of the World
LIGHT of the World,
we bow before You
in awe
and adoration.
Bless us
and our simple
faith
seeking understanding.
Epiphany
means
manifestation,
lifting the veil,
revelation.
Reveal to us then
what we need to
know
to love You,
and serve You,
and
keep Your word
with fidelity and truth,
courage
and hope,
this day and always.
Amen.
by Miriam Therese Winter
