Jan 6-7 Feast of the Epiphany As we continue the Christmas
season this feast helps us to understand that Jesus is the Light of the
whole world and his salvation is given to all people The magi from
afar trusted that God would lead them to the new King whom they
found in very humble non-royal circumstances Do we allow God
to help us to recognize Christ in the face of the migrant women and
children crossing our borders In the lives of the poor In the tiny
unborn child In the prisoner on death row Where can we look for
Jesus this week
