This week, we celebrate the Solemnity of the Epiphany.  "Epiphany" is a Greek word that means "to manifest, or to be revealed".  On this special day, our Gospel reading is from Matthew 2:1-12.  The Gospel tells of the Magi, or Wise Men, who traveled great distances to bring Jesus gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.  These were special gifts and each had a meaning and symbolism.

Each week, we try to give Jesus special gifts from our own hearts.  Our gifts can be simple things:  a prayer, a helpful attitude towards other, a toy shared with someone who has less than we do...think about the gifts you might share with Jesus this week and ask Jesus for your own "Epiphany", that your eyes and heart might be open to truly love and know Him.

As you color this week, please pray for peace in our world and for kids all over the world who are trying, just like you, to know and love Jesus!
