Epiphany is an annual Christian festival, observed on January 6, commemorating the manifestation of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles – who are represented by the Magi or wise men from the East (see Matthew 2:1-12). I’ve written a few brief reflections below on the meaning of this day.
Epiphany
To see with new eyes illumined by truth,
To drink in moments of divine surprise,
To discover joy in life’s brave search,
be it for love, beauty, or newness,
To accept this one startling life as sacred gift,
To bring whatever treasures one possesses,
humble as they are,
and lay them before the newborn Messiah.
This Epiphany…
Will you kneel down in adoration with the wise ones?
Will you bow before the angel-announced Child?
Will you see in his countenance God’s infinite grace?
Will you dream a world invaded by Holy Love?
Will you dare to be changed?

I kneel, I adore, I bow, I see, I dream, and I beg to be changed. Please, let my heart be moved by the things that move the heart of God.
Jenny, your heart is open in a genuine attitude of prayer. May you feel the fresh winds of God’s healing and transforming Spirit!
This is, as I expected, beautiful. I also enjoyed reading your newsletter article. Maybe you can be our cluster blogger. We are just starting to post some of my wife’s reflections on a blog attached to our church website. http://www.atascadero.umc/blog. You may want to check it out.
Thanks for your comments, Robb. I took a look at Jennifer’s writing, and she is very good at it — honest and personal. Your link to the church website didn’t work because of the period between atascadero and umc, which apparently doesn’t belong there. By the way the website looks very nice.
I had to un-follow and re-follow because I somehow lost you from my blog list. I enjoy the serenity of your voice.
Thank you, Olive. I look forward to reading other posts of yours also.
