VICAR

Dear Readers of Country Squire Magazine, I trust that You are well and ready to return to work tomorrow if You are required to. I trust that You had an excellent Christmas break and enjoyed the festive season.

This week, with Epiphany almost upon us, let us look at Epiphany and what it represents: Epiphany Sunday is the Christian celebration of the moment Jesus was revealed as the Son of God to the wider world, symbolised most vividly by the visit of the Gentile Magi. It marks the end of the 12 days of Christmas and shifts the focus from Jesus’ birth to his mission and identity. It’s a day of light, revelation, and the proclamation that God’s salvation is for everyone.

Let us pray:

O God, who by the leading of a star manifested your only Son to the peoples of the earth: Lead us, who know you now by faith, to your presence, where we may see your glory face to face; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Have a wonderful Sunday and an excellent week to follow. God bless You all.
