Second Collection for the Catholic University of America January 5 & 6
This weekend there will be a second collection for the Catholic University. C.U. is the national university of the Catholic Church in the U.S. C.U. serves the Church by engaging its students to discover knowledge and truth through excellence in teaching and research offerings, with faculty who bring world-class research and teaching tal-ents to the classrooms for almost 7,000 students.
The Feast of Epiphany marks the end of Christmas,
and commemorates the Magi who followed a star to find the Christ-child. The Feast of Epiphany
blessing asks that we might find the Lord when our
pilgrimage is ended. It also reminds us that we should
be looking for God, and finding Him, all along the
way.
Catholics traditionally bless their homes on Epiph-any night with holy water.
Pray that all who enter your home will be
treated with dignity and love, and that those who come
there might find, as did the magi on their
journey, the true and ever-living Christ.
