1/5, The Epiphany of Our Lord

"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)"  

Cana – Part of His Epiphany to Us

Jesus’ Baptism – Part of His Epiphany to Us!

  • Fr. Edmond Nyoka on X: "A Priest of the Catholic Diocese of Nnewi, Nigeria, Rev Fr Tobias Okonkwo has been reportedly killed by unknown assailants. This was officially made known by the Chancellor of the Diocese Rev Fr Raphael Ezeogu... When shall this end? (12/27/24)
  • "canonical form is a prudential ecclesiastical creation, and in fact it can be dispensed and is often dispensed. Catholics marry validly before Protestant, other non-Catholic ministers, and even civil authorities with this dispensation on a regular basis. It is also important to note that this element can also be dispensed after consent is exchanged" (Gregory Caridi, Diocese of Dallas, 12/16/24)
