π Happy Epiphany! π
O Come Let Us Adore Him! β¨
As we draw near to the conclusion of Christmas, we reflect on the profound mystery of Christβs birth and its meaning for our lives. On Epiphany, we remember the Magi who followed the star faithfully and discovered a humble family where they adored the Savior who came for all people. They witnessed the beginning of God's plan and purpose (brought to us!), so we may live with a heart of full of love and hope in this world and for eternity.
Epiphany is drawn from the Greek word epiphainen, a word that means to reveal, appear, or make something known. It invites us to consider where Christ may be appearing in our own lives today and how we are called to make His love known to others. As the Christmas season continues, may we be attentive to Christβs light guiding us each day. Let us be open to how He will reveal ways to show others His love in our everyday lives.
We wish all of our families a blessed and joyful Epiphany!
~ Mrs. Stoffel
