This Sunday is the Epiphany of the Lord. There is a tradition that on the feast of Epiphany we pray for God’s blessing on our homes, marking the entrance with chalk.
We mark the main door of our home with the initials of the Magi - Caspar, Melchior & Balthasar - and the numerals of the new year connected with crosses: 20 + C + M + B + 25.
Blessed chalk & instructions may be found at the Blessed Virgin Mary shrine in the front of the church.
Fr. Thiago and I pray that this New Year will be a year of good health, peace, and blessings for you and your families!
