Epiphany of the Lord
“Then they opened their treasures and offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh..”
(Matthew 2:11)
The image of the Magi kneeling before the infant Je-sus and opening their treasure chests for Him is an image that we should all try to follow each day. In gratitude for all that we have been given, we are called to generously share all of our gifts, not just the ones we pick and choose. God wants us to be gener-ous with everything, but especially that one thing that means the most to you.

IS THE LIGHT BRIGHT ENOUGH? The good news proclaimed today, is that Jesus, God’s promise, takes flesh in the womb of Mary. Jo-seph’s unwavering faith allows him to believe the angel that appears to him in a dream. The child in Mary’s womb is to be called Emmanuel – which means God is with us. Do you wonder why Mary would risk every-thing to say “yes”? Do you wonder why Joseph would believe a dream? Would you like to know this Emmanu-el better? Our parish offers inquiry sessions exploring these and other faith issues in relation to our Catholic belief. Come and See (or bring someone you know who might be searching). Inquiry sessions are held so that those who wish to ask questions about the Catholic faith family can do so in an informed, non-pressured atmosphere. We invite anyone who is not baptized, baptized into another faith denomination, or baptized Catholic but has not received Eucharist and Confirmation. Inquiry sessions are for those who wish to inquire, explore, and search for ways to grow in relationship with God. Have a question for yourself of a family member? Make the call! You can call the Parish Office at 908-647-1075 or visit the OLM website for more information on the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults. http://olmwarren.org/rite-of-christian-initiation-of-adults
