THE EPIPHANY OF THE LORD 4TH JANUARY 2026

 The Second Sunday after the Nativity of the Lord in the Catholic Church is a time for

 profound reflection on the Incarnation and its implications for our lives. The readings often highlight the ongoing mystery of God becoming human, emphasizing how this event bridges the divine and the human. We are reminded that Jesus’ birth is not just a historical event but a continuous revelation of God’s love and presence in the world.

 This Sunday’s liturgy typically focuses on the continuity between the Old and New Testaments, showing how Jesus fulfills ancient prophecies. We see Jesus as the Word of God made flesh, the ultimate revelation of God’s plan for salvation. This perspective encourages us to see our own lives as part of God’s unfolding story, inviting us to embrace His will and live out the teachings of Christ.

 Ultimately, the Second Sunday after Nativity calls us to a deeper understanding of who Jesus is and what His Incarnation means for our faith. It’s an invitation to live more fully as children of God, embracing the hope, love, and grace that Jesus brings. The celebration serves as a powerful reminder that God is with us, always, and that His love is the source of our joy and salvation.

Happy New Year.
