SUMMARY:Day of Prayer for Consecrated Life

SUMMARY:Day of Prayer for Consecrated Life
DESCRIPTION:In 1997\, Pope Saint John Paul II instituted a day of prayer for women and men in consecrated life. This celebration is attached to the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord on February 2nd. This Feast is also known as Candlemas Day; the day on which candles are blessed symbolizing Christ who is the light of the world. So too\, those in consecrated life are called to reflect the light of Jesus Christ to all peoples. The celebration of World Day for Consecrated Life is transferred to the following Sunday in order to highlight the gift of consecrated persons for the whole Church. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease pray for all those who have made commitments in the consecrated life\, and be sure to thank them on their special day for their generous response to God’s gift of their vocation. May they continue to be inspired by Jesus Christ and respond generously to God’s gift of their vocation. \nLearn more here. \nAs part of this observance\, Bishop Edgar M. da Cunha\, S.D.V.\, will gather with Religious in the Diocese on Saturday\, Feb. 4\, for a day of prayer\, reflection and celebration. For more information\, please contact Sr. Paulina Hurtado\, O.P.\, the Episcopal Representative for Religious\, at sr.paulina@dioc-fr.org

SUMMARY:Solemnity of the Epiphany of the Lord
DESCRIPTION:The Solemnity of the Epiphany of the Lord is the Christian observance that celebrates the public manifestation of the Jesus’ kingship to the world when the Magi visit and adore him. In the Gospel of Luke\, an angel of the Lord reveals Jesus as “savior\,” “Messiah\,” and “Lord” to the shepherds when Jesus is born and laid in a manger (see Luke 2). But the visit of the Magi reveals another facet of Jesus’ destiny—his kingship. \nIn Matthew\, chapter two\, the Magi announce to King Herod the purpose of their visit. Arriving in Jerusalem to seek the Messiah\, they ask Herod\, King of Judea\, “Where is the newborn king of the Jews? We saw his star at its rising and have come to do him homage.” Departing Jerusalem and following the star’s movement\, they find the child Jesus and his mother\, Mary\, in Bethlehem. Joyfully\, they prostrate themselves before the King and present to the newborn King gifts of gold\, frankincense\, and myrrh. Through this prophetic event\, the kingship of Jesus is revealed\, while the gifts brought by the Magi prophecy the type of kingship Jesus would have. \nChristian tradition holds that there were three wise men\, named Caspar\, Melchior\, and Balthasar. \nCurrent tradition in the United States often sees families using chalk to mark the top of a door post of their home with the initials of the three kings and the current Epiphany year. For example\, for Epiphany 2017\, a family would mark “20 + C + M + B + 23.” This chalking of the lintel is generally accompanied by a short ritual blessing of the house. \nSource: U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops
