A Commentary and Reflection on the Feast of the Epiphany. The Liturgical Sense of the Scriptures Podcast, by Catholic Author and Theologian David L. Gray. READINGS: Isaiah 60:1-6, Ephesians 3:2-3a, 5-6, Matthew 2:1-12.

The Liturgy of the Holy Mass is the Epiphany Event

The Feast of the Epiphany—called Theophany in the Eastern Catholic tradition—celebrates the moment when God revealed Himself in the flesh as Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of the Father. The very word epiphany means “manifestation,” and the feast proclaims that the divine nature of Christ, hidden in the humility of Bethlehem, is made known to the world.

Epiphany also commemorates the visit of the Magi, the first Gentiles to recognize and adore the newborn King. Their journey marks the beginning of Christ’s revelation not only to Israel but to all nations. In this mystery, the Church celebrates the universal reach of the Incarnation: God made visible, God made knowable, God made present for every people and every age.

THIS AUDIO COMMENTARY WAS BASED UPON THE WRITTEN VERSION IN: The Liturgical Sense of the Readings at Mass – Year A, by David L. Gray
