EPIPHANY JANUARY 7TH 2018

THE EPIPHANY OF THE LORD First Reading: Isaiah 60:1-6 Isaiah speaks poetically of the coming of the Lord. He describes how “darkness covers the earth” but light and glory appear over God’s chosen people. Second Reading: Ephesians 3:2-3a, 5-6 Paul tells the Ephesians that the Jews and Gentiles are now co-heirs of the promises God has made. He explains that both groups are now members of one body through Jesus Christ. Gospel: Matthew 2:1-12 After Jesus’ birth, three astrologers from the east came to Jerusalem and inquired about the newborn king of the Jews. King Herod became greatly angered, and asked the astrologers to bring him more information about the child once they had found him, so that he too could pay homage to the infant. However, Herod’s true plan was to kill Jesus. The wise men were warned in a dream not to return to him and they took a different route to return home.

HIS WORD TODAY by Rev. William J. Reilly “You have heard of the stewardship of God’s grace that was given to me for your benefit,…it was not made known to people in other generations as it now has been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit that the Gentiles are coheirs, members of the same body and copartners in the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel.” We hear the story of the visitors from the east, the magi, remember the three gifts and the guidance of the star. But St. Paul offers us something more for our consideration. God in His goodness has sent His Son, for the salvation of all people. Paul explained it clearly, as revealed now. The ‘now’ in our time tells us the same awesome and meaningful message. We are 1) Coheirs, - something special is offered to us. 2) Members of the same body – we belong to the Lord and His church, a holy people and 3) copartners, called to do our part as Missionary Disciples. These gifts have been given to us for our benefit, to be treasured and used for the building of His kingdom.

LENDING LIBRARY The Lord is with you when you are with Him, and if you seek

Him, He will be present to you.” 2 Chr 15:2. Seek the Lord in

the many books in our Library. (Located in the vestibule) They are waiting for you to discover great wonders. READ, RETURN OR PASS IT ON.
