Quote for Reflection (Sunday, January 9, 2022)

“Epiphany is the time when the church gathers to remember and reflect upon the mighty acts of God in the birth of Jesus Christ. As we watch and wait in the light of Christ, we begin to see the unfolding drama of the Christ child becoming prophet, healer, teacher and savior. Much of the story is still to be told, but already we are being reminded of the direction in which this one sacred life is moving….This life ‘enlightens’ us as we remember that we too have come from God, are invited to walk with God, and one day will be fully at home with God.”
