In the Jesuit Tradition Today we celebrate the Feast of the Epiphany – the manifestation of Christ to all the world. We rejoice in the revelation of God in the humanity of Jesus Christ! Through an Ignatian lens let us enter into the Scripture scene and pray with imaginative Gospel contemplation. Are you journeying with the Magi, following the star that leads you to the Baby Jesus? Is it night? Is it quiet? Are you bringing gifts to this special newborn child,gifts that are symbolic of the importance of Jesus’ birth: gold to represent his royal standing, frankincense to mark his divine birth, or myrrh to symbolize the mortality of Jesus as human? What other gift would you bring? How do you feel when you gaze upon the baby? Is Mary holding him? How does Joseph look? Who else is present? Will you emerge from your imaginative experience with renewed promise to reflect joy and gratitude for the great gift that has been revealed?

THE

JANUARY…

Named after the Roman god Janus…

god of gates and doors, endings and all types

of beginnings – especially the beginnings of important

events in a person’s life.

January is often considered the month for deep reflection…

we look back at the year behind us… and then look forward to the future year.

Looking Back: My sincerest thanks for all your good wishes, confidence in me and

support in my business…

Looking Forward: I wish you all much good health, success in your endeavors,

happiness and bountiful blessings.

May God Bless You in 2017
