Preparing to Pray 1/6
Epiphany Reflection
It does seem like it might be a little disruptive to suddenly have
the kingdom of God break into the reality everyone’s gotten used to.
It seems like there would be maybe a little tension
surrounding the emergence of a whole new order.
Mostly it seems like there’s not really room for ... this king and his ways.
It doesn’t mesh very well with what we know,
it’s all the wrong space for any preconcieved space. ...
There’s no room. ...
Epiphany is the festival that celebrates
the universal manifestation of God’s light to all people.
The wise men represent the miraculousness of what is outside getting in.
The light gets in.
