EPIPHANY
St. Gregory the Great wrote this of the gifts of Caspar,
(Kaspar), Melchior, and Baltasar "For a king, gold is fitting gift; to God, incense is offered; with myrrh the bodies of the dead are embalmed. So the wise men offered
gold to their King, incense to their
God, and myrrh to one destined
to die". The custom of marking
doorways on the feast of the
Epiphany dates back to the Middle Ages. Using chalk, the doors
are marked C+M+B 2015 or
(K+M+B 2015, if you spell Casper
with a K). With incense burning,
this prayer is said: Lord God, bless this house. Let it be a
place of health, chastity, self conquest, humility, goodness, mildness, obedience to your commandments, and
thanksgiving to you, Father Son and Holy Spirit. May
your blessing remain forever on this house and all who
live here. Amen

PARTNERS IN THE PROMISE

As a society, during these days we can be in something of a postpartum depression. Our celebrations of
Christmas and the New Year are over, and after today
many of us will put away the decorations and the last
visible remnants of the celebrations of the past weeks.
The apostle Paul today uses the expression partners in
the promise. This is an uplifting phrase for us to reflect
upon, and to think of as our own calling in these days
following the birth of the Lord. What is this promise?
We can find it in the gifts the magi bring: it is a promise
of being a royal priesthood (gold), a holy nation
(frankincense), a people set apart for self-giving
(myrrh). We find more of the promise in Isaiaha light
shines upon us! In the psalm we know a promise of a
world of flowering justice, profound peace, the poor
rescued, pity for the lowly and the poor. This is the
promise; and one of the best ways for us to lift ourselves out of any possible low spirits we may be suffering is to live out our partnership in this promise each

TREASURES FROM
OUR TRADITION
Epiphany celebrates the wake-up calls
of life, the showings of Gods majesty and
power in the person of Jesus. The feast
alerts us to look for signs of the Lords
grace and action in our lives today. In this
context, the call of the Second Vatican
Council to reform the sacramental life of
the Church, including our pattern of care
for the sick, is indeed a holy awakening.
Prior to the 1960s, our care for the sick
had collapsed in the popular imagination
into something everyone called last rites.
An immensely complicated ritual, with
anointing accompanied by quickly muttered Latin prayers, was enacted for a marginally conscious person at deaths door.
By the time a priest was called, the sick
person might not be able to receive viaticum, or derive much personal benefit from
the ritual. The healing effects of the sacrament, investing suffering with the dignity
of a link to Christs cross, and the immense
assurance of forgiveness for a person reviewing the life journey, were hidden. Suddenly, an epiphany swept through the
Church, and the way we care for the sick
was utterly transformed. It took several
centuries, however, for the Church to reach
that moment of renewal.

THE HOLY STAR

O Father, may that holy star
Grow every year more bright
And send its glorious
beams afar
To fill the world with light.
