Beginning with the Feast of the Epiphany (or “Three Kings Day”) on January 6 until Ash Wednesday (March 2, 2022), we hear stories of magi who follow a star, Jesus’ baptism, and his first miracle. Theologian Peter Gomes said, “This is the most important season of the church’s year because this is the season in which we come to see who Jesus is, where he is to be found, and where we begin to understand what he is about.”

Share: What were your high and low points today?
Read: Matthew 2:1-2. In the time of King Herod, after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, asking, “Where is the child who has been born king of the Jews? For we observed his star at its rising, and have come to pay him homage.”
Reflect: A star led the wise men to Jesus. What amazing parts of nature make you think of God?
Pray: Jesus, help us to see who you are, where you’re found, and why you’re here. May we honor you with our lives. Amen.
Bless: Trace a cross on each other’s shoulder, hand, or head and say “[Name], you are a beloved child of God.”
