This Sunday, our journey through the Gospel of Matthew brings us to the beginning of Jesus' famous Sermon on the Mount. This is the most famous Sermon ever preached and the most famous teaching from the Gospel of Matthew.
Jesus begins His public ministry immediately after John the Baptist was arrested. Today’s readings teach us that Our Lord has come to bring us light, liberty, and unity.
Today we celebrate the great Feast of Epiphany. The celebration of Epiphany, meaning "manifestation," commemorates the coming of the Magi as the first manifestation of Christ to the Gentiles.
