St. Theresa Catholic Church

This weekend, we are coming to the end of the Christmas Season. On Sunday we celebrate the Epiphany of the Lord. On Monday, we celebrate the Baptism of the Lord. On Tuesday, we begin the 1st week of Ordinary Time. On Sunday, we celebrate the Epiphany means “ a sudden recognition of on insight into the meaning, reality, or significance of something”. The good news of the Gospel is proclaimed to the human family - past, present and future. There is great joy among the Magi. They travelled a long distance and bring precious gifts of Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh. Gold- a metal of Supreme value, may represent Kingship. Incense_ offered in reverent prayer may represent Divinity. Myrrh- used in embalming procedures, hints at the death and burial that the Christ will undergo. Today’s feast gives us so much to think about. When we take time to reflect on the scriptures, we may know the joy and gratitude that our Christian faith brings.
