themselves and did him homage. Then they opened their treasures
and offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. And having
been warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed for
their country by another way.
1. On this past December 21, did you look at the sky and observe
the brightness caused by the alignment of Saturn and Jupiter? Or
were you able to find photos of it? What did you think and imagine
in your heart?
2. What star have you followed that led you to discover the
“Holy”? Have you seen (felt) the light of Christ; are you following
that light - that star? Are you bringing the light you have in your
heart to others and sharing it with them?
3. The gifts/treasures of magi were meant for a king. What
material or spiritual gifts/treasures are you being called to place
at the service of Christ? What gifts can you bring to church? And
what gifts can you bring and give to others?
Isaiah 60:1-6 | Ephesians 3:2-3, 5-6 | Matthew 2:1-12
Gospel
When Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the days of King
Herod, behold, magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem, saying,
“Where is the newborn king of the Jews? We saw his star at its
rising and
have come to do him homage.”
When King Herod heard this, he was greatly troubled, and all
Jerusalem with him. Assembling all the chief priests and the
scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ was to
be born.
They said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it has been
written through the prophet: And you, Bethlehem, land of Judah, are
by no means least among the rulers of Judah; since from you shall
come a ruler, who is to shepherd my people Israel.”
Then Herod called the magi secretly and ascertained from them
the time of the star's appearance. He sent them to Bethlehem and
said, “Go and search diligently for the child. When you have found
him, bring me word, that I too may go and do him homage.”
After their audience with the king they set out. And behold, the
star that they had seen at its rising preceded them, until it came
and stopped over the place where the child was. They were overjoyed
at seeing the star, and on entering the house they saw the child
with Mary his mother. They prostrated

4. After your own Epiphany and experiencing the light of Christ,
have you returned home by taking a different route? In other words,
have you found a new way to continue your journey?
5. What was the most satisfying and rewarding gift you gave this
Christmas? What made it special?
On behalf of Fr. Rafal, Fr. Dominik, clergy, staff, and
parishioners of St. Mark, a huge
“Thank You!” to all those who worked long and hard to make
our
Christmas and New Year’s liturgies so beautiful.
With all of this year’s COVID-19 challenges, our liturgies were
extra-special to so many this year, and while many could not attend
in person, they were able to participate from the safety of their
own homes. We would like to acknowledge all the decorators who
worked days bedecking our church and narthex; our choir, whose
beautiful music
enhanced each service; the altar servers, extraordinary
ministers, livestream and sound teams, readers, sacristans, ushers,
and the St. Mark maintenance staff who worked diligently to keep
our environment safe.
Our very grateful appreciation to each of you for giving of your
time and talents to make Christmas at St. Mark so very special.

they lived in this world, you adorned with sacred gifts, may ever
rejoice in a glorious place in heaven. Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

PrayersFor our church fam i ly
Traditionally, the Feast of the Epiphany is the day to bless our
homes. It is also a common custom to make a marking above the
entrance of your home. This year the marking is:
20+C+M+B+21
The numbers represent the year, and the letters represent the
Magi: Caspar, Melchior and Balthassar. Since it is impossible in
most parishes for the priest to visit and bless each home of the
parish on this day, families can bless their own homes. The
following prayer could be read as a blessing:
May we who live in this home guard the sacredness of this
threshold. May God protect all who enter and leave from this
doorway. May we welcome all at this door in the Name of Jesus
Christ, and grace rest upon all who shall cross it.
Pick up your “Blessing of the Home” packet after Mass this
weekend. For a more formal blessing, visit the USCCB website at
https://tin url.com/2021Epiphan .
