It is Epiphany Sunday, one of my favorite days of the Church calendar! Today reminds us that God does amazing things with questionable material. He welcomes pagans, Magi, to seek and uses them to spread the word of the Savior’s birth. He uses dust to create human life (whether you believe this literally or metaphorically), and he uses all those messy, flawed people in the Old Testament to do incredible things.

“What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.”

Simply Orthodox ☦: Let's make the "nun" tab as it should be!:

simplyorthodox:

Dear Orthodox and Catholic Christians,

I have noticed again, with a great sadness that the “nun” and “nuns” tabs are under attack (again). Whoever visits it isn’t seeing the beauty of monasticism but porn. It’s so sad, and it can be harmful to the souls of all those who visit it simply by…

Monday I was honored and thrilled to be in audience to a smart lady, Sister Mary Michael Fox. I learned a great deal and left feeling very blessed and with mind filled with things to think about. The nuns, pastors, monks, and teachers who devote their entire lives to seeking God can teach us so much!

“

In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. (This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.) And everyone went to their own town to register.

So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.

And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”

Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,

“Glory to God in the highest heaven,
and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”
When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”

So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.

On the eighth day, when it was time to circumcise the child, he was named Jesus, the name the angel had given him before he was conceived.
