The Epiphany of the Lord

“Our God is for ever and always. It is he who leads us.” - Ps 48:15

God dwells among his people in the flesh of Jesus Christ, born in Bethlehem of old, present in the Eucharist in our day. Like the Magi, let us bring the gifts of our worship

before him in praise, adoration and thanksgiving.

-Magnificat, January 2021, vol. 22, No. 11

Designed to feature various types of retreat programming based on adult distance learning principles, Devotion-by-Distance will include discussion groups, online retreats, Great Courses, and more.

The author herself will be joining one or more of the Zoom sessions to further enhance the distance learning experience. Space is limited and advance reservations should be made by December 30 if possible. All participants will receive a discounted copy of each book to be discussed.

“Through the Incarnation and birth of Christ, God reveals to us the dignity of all human life. Human life, as a gift of God, is sacred and inviolable. The Son of God has united himself with every human being and desires for us to share eternal life with him... Each of us is made in the image and likeness of God, and we reflect his glory in the world.”USCCB Secretariat of Pro-Life Activities “The Gospel of Life: A Brief Summary”

The Magi- by tradition called Balthasar, Melchior, and Gaspar -

reveal that our life’s greatest purpose is to worship the Savior.

The gifts brought by the Magi reveal how we can do that: “To offer gold is to proclaim

Christ’s Kingship, to offer incense is to adore his Godhead, and to offer myrrh is to acknowledge his mortality.” ( St. Odilo of Cluny )

And when we meditate on the mystery of the Epiphany,

“we shall be radiant at what we see,” and “our hearts throb and overflow,”

for the appearance of the Son of God means that the lives of the lowly, poor,

and afflicted shall be saved. We have become “copartners in the promise

in Christ Jesus through the Gospel.”

-Magnificat January 202, Solemnity of the Epiphany of the Lord.
