Psalm — Lord, every nation on earth will adore you (Psalm 72). Second Reading — The mystery has been made known that the Gentiles are coheirs, copartners in the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel (Ephesians 3:2-3a, 5-6).

LIGHT OF THE WORLD Epiphany can be understood as an extension of the Nativity of the Lord that we celebrate on Decem-ber 25. While at Christmas we celebrate Jesus’ com-ing as the long-awaited king and Messiah of the Jew-ish people, on Epiphany we celebrate the revelation that Jesus is the Savior and Light of all nations—Jews, Gentiles, and all people. The star shines so brightly that it attracts magi who come from far distant countries to worship Je-sus. They are not Jews, yet they are drawn to the Light of the world. The letter to the Ephesians reveals that the Light of the world was for the Gentiles as well as the Jews—Christ gathers all people into the light of his love. The reading from Isaiah also de-scribes a gathering of diverse peoples, but this time it is to the light that emanates from the people of God. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

UPCOMING PARISH ACTIVITIES

January 4: SAINT ELIZABETH ANN SETON (1774-1821)

Though her liturgical designation is “Religious,” Elizabeth Seton, her feast-day prayer reminds us, was also wife, mother, educator, foundress. Born into a wealthy Episcopalian family, Elizabeth married William Seton, whose untimely death in Italy where the young family sought healing for William’s tuberculosis, left her, at twenty-nine, a widow with five children.

Inspired by the faith and charity of the Italian family with whom they stayed, Elizabeth embraced Catholicism despite her family’s disowning her and ceasing financial support.

This woman of many firsts (and several vocations!) opened the first

free Catholic school, beginning the American Catholic educational system, and founded the first American religious community for women, the Sisters of Charity. The tuberculosis that claimed her husband took also her oldest and youngest

daughters and, finally, at just forty-seven, Elizabeth herself.

Another first: in 1975 she was canonized the first native-born American saint. Once asked to summarize her spirituality, she replied: “Faith lifts the staggering soul on one side, hope supports it on the other, experience says it must be, and love says let it be!”

What is “Chalking the Door”? “Chalking the door” is a sign and symbol of asking God’s blessing upon those who live, work, or visit throughout the coming year. In Exodus, the Israelites marked their doors with blood so that the Lord would pass over their homes; but in this service, we mark our doors with chalk as a sign that we have invited God’s presence and blessing into our homes. In Deuteronomy 6:9 God tells the people of Israel: “These words that I command you to-day shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house… You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.” Chalking the door is a tangible way to honor God in our lives. How to Par cipate Using chalk, write on the out-side of your house or inside

above the front main entrance, above or next to an entrance: +20 Christus Mansionem Bene-dicat 20+ or +20 C M B 20+ Pray: Lord God of heaven and earth, you revealed your only bego en Son to every na on by the guidance of a star. Bless this house and all who live here and all who visit. May we be blessed with health, kindness of heart, gentleness and the keeping of your law. Fill us with the light of Christ, that our love for each other may go out to all. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen. +20 C M B 20+ The le ers C M B come from the tradi onal names for the three kings: Caspar, Melchior, and Balthazar. It is also an abbrevia-

on for “Christus Mansionem Benedicat” which means, “May Christ bless this dwelling!” The first and last numbers simply refer to the current year.

We invite you to take part in the old tradi on of “chalking the door” to celebrate the Epiphany, the day that marks the arrival of the magi, to the place where Jesus was born! The Epiphany is celebrated on Sunday, January 5 (typically celebrated on Janu-ary 6) as the 12th day of Christmas and we will be equipping you with the prayers, chalk and holy water for your own cele-bra on! Be sure to join us!

Prayer booklets, blessed chalk & Holy Water will be available at each of the church entrances.
