Epiphany Homily 2025

Look up!  Not down...look up!  As we begin a new year and celebrate the Solemnity of the Epiphany, how are looking for God?  How are we inviting him into our lives?  The word epiphany really means "manifestation" or "enlightening."  Yes, smart people came to visit him, but the Magi aren't the only people to whom Jesus came.  He came for everyone found in the nativity story.  He came for you.  He came for your neighbors.  He came for all Christians but also all non-Christians.  He came for everyone at every period of time.  So as we begin 2025 and continue to celebrate Christmas, how exactly are we seeing God and inviting him into our lives and those of others?
