Greetings on this Second Sunday After Christmas -The Epiphany of the Lord.
Blessings sisters and brothers in Christ. Rev. John would like you to read the Gospel passage from Matthew 2: 1-12. This being The Epiphany of the Lord Sunday, I think about what the word Epiphany means to you personally. Also, what does the visit by the Magi represent?
