When the Sun Hits Your Eye Like a Partially Eaten Pizza PieCredit: Gianluca MasiTuesday, January 4, 2011 The moon blocked about 61 percent of the sun over Rome, where this image was taken. In Sweden, where the eclipse was at its maximum, the moon blocked about 80 percent of the sun's disk. This was the first of four partial solar eclipses in 2011
Today is the actual Feast of the Epiphany of the manifestation of the Lord. Even though the Church formally celebrated the Feast this past Sunday, we can (should) celebrate still today.
During my morning prayer and reflection on the daily readings, I was reminded that Christ is asking me…us…to manifest Him to the world. On this feast when Christ was first revealed to the world, I particularly ask, “Am I an ambassador for Christ? When people meet me, is the presence of Christ revealed by my kindness, humility, peace, hope, and encouragement?”
Well, I’ve certainly got some work to do!
Jesus wants and needs to be seen, known, and loved through us who represent Christ! Let us all be Christ’s ambassadors and continue sharing the Feast of the Epiphany today!
