Epiphany

Epiphany — if treated as a season in your private devotions, church services or family worship — is designed to highlight key aspects of our Savior’s earthly ministry, such as:

• the miracles of Jesus
• the parables of Jesus
• the prophecies of Jesus
• the teachings of Jesus, such as the Sermon on the Mount

This time is also a natural bridge between Christmas, the celebration of Christ’s coming, and Lent, the period of lament, reflection and confession leading to the cross.

Prayer of the Day

O God, on this day you revealed your Son to the nations by the leading of a star. Lead us now by faith to know your presence in our lives, and bring us at last to the full vision of your glory, through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen

Alleluia. We have observed his star at its rising and have come to worship him. Alleluia
