In the seven weeks of Epiphany, we will hear the stories of the things made possible by the Incarnation. We'll hear most of the Sermon on the Mount, as Matthew narrates Jesus’ largest body of teaching. These are the lessons on which we build our faith and form the root of our belief.
It is no coincidence that just after experiencing the glory of the birth of Jesus, we are led into Jesus' most prominent teaching. While we are still excited about the miracle of the Son of Man, we are called to remember just why He is the prophet who will lead us through what we will face.
Build your city on the hill, let your light shine, don’t lose your saltiness, blessed are the peacemakers.
These core principles guide us in our ministry, give the Church its purpose, create God’s reign anew on Earth. As we explore the manifestation of Jesus to the world, shining our light on a dark world, we root ourselves in these essential teachings. We are called to share the love and the witness of God’s salvation, so abundantly offered, with our neighbors and our world as we walk our own path in the ancient teachings of our prophet and prince.
