Happy New Year to all our family, friends,
and visitors!
We wish you much laughter, good health,
and a growing faith in the year to come!
God, thank you for a new year. May everyone in our family be willing to
begin anew with a clean slate. We know that you are always ready to
forgive us. Help us to be willing to forgive ourselves and to forgive one
another.
As we begin a new year, remind us of our truest values and our deepest desires. Help us to live in the goodness that comes from doing what
you want us to do. Help us to put aside anxiety about the future and the
past, so that we might live in peace with you now, one day at a time.
Amen
Epiphany of the Lord (Manifestation of the Lord):
"Some interesting details to ponder from our readings today:
Isaiah mentions only gold and frankincense among the gifts that
come from all nations. It is Matthew who adds the gift of myrrh the symbol of the future passion and death of the newborn Messiah. The magi must consult the revelation of faith to find their way to
Bethlehem; their own means are not enough. As we listen to God's
word now, what details strike you? How is the Messiah revealed to
you today? "

for your personal family in your will, you can also provide for your family of
Faith. Only with a will are your wishes known and brought to pass.

leave a memorial bequest to Sacred Heart Catholic Church.
