Today is the Solemnity of THE EPIPHANY OF THE LORD, the commemoration of when the Magi, or “Three Wise Men,” came to honor Jesus and worship Him.

Three pagan monarchs traveled a great distance of thousands of miles to visit our Lord. Do you, a believer and probable Catholic, take the time to attend Mass or Adoration to honor and worship Him?

“Epiphany” also means in popular usage a “sudden realization or awareness.” Comparable to the “spiritual awakening” mention is 12 Step movements, has your “epiphany” in recovery lead you closer to Jesus (and also to His Church?)

Much to ponder on today.

Are you a creative Catholic? "The Catholicpunk Manifesto" is my new book exhorting Catholics to apply their faith to change the culture for the better!

Know someone, perhaps yourself, who might like Catholic devotionals for alcoholics? Please take a look at my books! "The Stations of the Cross for Alcoholics" and "The Recovery Rosary: Reflections for Alcoholics and Addicts" (Thank you!!)
