epiphany

Opening Prayer: Father, You alone know what lies before me this day.  Grant that in every hour of it I may stay close to you.  Let me today embark on no undertaking that is not in line with your will for my life, nor shrink from any sacrifice which your will may demand.  For my Lord Christ’s Sake.  Amen, (A Diary of Private Prayer by John Baillie)

Scripture: Matthew 2:9-12

Journal: What is your response to finding Jesus?  What do you want to give him?

Reflection:

     epiphany

i am here
follow the star
and you will find me
search the obscure
and hidden places

and you will come upon me

look into the eyes

of the broken and lowly

and you will discover my presence

i am here

in every conversation

you have today

in every joy and every sorrow

you will experience

in every circumstance

you will face

in every challenge

you will confront

don't ever forget

i am here

Prayer

Closing Prayer: Take, Lord, and receive all that I am and have.  You’ve given it all to me; I give it all back to you.  Do with me as you want.  Just give me your love and your grace and that’s enough. ~St. Ignatius
