Sunday, January 12: Sunday after Theophany
The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light, and upon those who sat in the region and shadow of death Light has dawned. (Matthew 4:16)
In the fury of the moment I can see the Master’s hand / In every leaf that trembles, in every grain of sand. (Bob Dylan, Every Grain of Sand)
At the Feast of Theophany, we are called to see the world anew. With the Baptism of the Lord, the waters are no longer ordinary. They can now carry within them the grace of God. The heavens are not silent; they proclaim, "This is my beloved Son." All of creation is touched in this moment, and we, too, are invited to step into the stream, and blessed by God to enter into the life Christ offers. Beneath the appearances grace is mysteriously at work, and those who are blessed to see the presence of God in them encounter the Kingdom of God. The feast is very much a declaration of reality, of what truly is: the world is sacramental, life is communion, and God is with us. To celebrate Theophany is to rediscover that every drop of water, every breath of air, every moment of existence is charged with divine presence. It is the proclamation of a truth we are called to live: that we, too, are made to carry this light into the world.
