Happy Epiphany! “On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.” — Matthew 2:11. . . . . . ----------------------------------------- #episcopal #christian #faith #nyack #peace #threekingsday #epiphany

Contemplate and rejoice in the new year with the reflection from this week’s Grace Church Update. Happy New Year! To acknowledge and cross a new threshold is always a challenge. Though we know one another's names and recognize one another's faces, we never know what destiny shapes each life. The script of individual destiny is secret; it is hidden behind and beneath the sequence of happenings that is continually unfolding for us. Each life is a mystery that is never finally available to the minds light or questions that we are here is a huge affirmation; somehow life needed us and wanted us to be. To sense and trust this primeval acceptance can open a vast spring of trust within the heart. It opens up our lives to become voyages of discovery, creativity, and compassion. No threshold need be a threat, but rather an invitation and a promise. Whatever comes, the great sacrament of life will remain faithful to us, blessing us always with visible signs of invisible grace. We merely need to trust. — John O'Donohue, from "To Bless the Space Between Us" (Thresholds). . . . . . ----------------------------------------- #episcopal #christian #faith #newyearseve #newyear #nyack #peace 📷: Verne Becker.
