1/7, The Epiphany

Cana – Part of His Epiphany to Us

Jesus’ Baptism – Part of His Epiphany to Us!

(Sign/voice for Mass readings)

"The...Epiphany in the Roman church also acknowledges the baptism and the wedding at Cana: 'Three mysteries mark this holy day: today the star leads the magi to the infant Christ; today water is changed into wine for the wedding feast; today Christ wills to be baptized by John in the river Jordan to bring us salvation' (Liturgy of the Hours, Evening Prayer II, Epiphany)"
