Sacred Life Sunday: Epiphany

This is the first Sunday of the New Year. "Epiphany" doesn't refer to the fact that I've had yet another aha moment, but to a time in the church year when Jesus came to earth and to the mystery of His incarnation. In the West we celebrate it with the story of the three wise men bringing gifts.

I truly love how my church has a liturgical calendar that goes right along with the seasons. Stories are celebrated over and over again on a schedule with a rhythmn to them that is coordinated with all the things that nature is doing at the same time. Cyclical ways of measuring time are fascinating to me. They are repeated yet they are never the same.

I wish each of you a blessed day.

Tomorrow I am going to blog about some creative projects for the year. Today I am actually going to get started with them. I really and truly am. I  am committing myself here so I actually DO it instead of put it off for more mundane tasks. Stay tuned.

UPDATE: Well, I got the wrong date for "Epiphany" :) It is coming up this Sunday in the official liturgical calender. This means I get to celebrate it twice! Whoo hoo!
