Parish Mission Statement

Clergy Corner

Question of the Week:

Who can I ask for help in my search for the Lord? How can I overcome doubt

or disappointment when I experience them?

     An epiphany is an unexpected manifestation. In the case of this feast, it is the

manifestation of the Messiah to the magi. These foreigners, who did not even believe in the God we do, who were not Jewish, so were not awaiting the Messiah (the Christ), recognized in this tiny baby lying in a wooden trough the newborn king of the Jews. We are those magi today. We are called to make the effort to see Christ made manifest in today’s world. We can see Christ made manifest in the

Eucharist, in fact affirming his presence when we respond “Amen” to “The Body of Christ.” We can see Christ made manifest in our assembly, for he told his disciples that where two or three are gathered in his name, he too is present. We can see Christ in the person in need, for he also said that whatever we do for one of these least ones, we do for him. We can see Christ in the priest who presides at Mass, in the word of God, and in the sacraments. But perhaps most memorably

we see Christ in a true epiphany, when he reveals himself unexpectedly, as he did as a newborn in a stable, or much later to the fishermen whom he told to drop their nets on the other side, or as the risen Lord on the road to Emmaus.
