your Son who lives and reigns with you
in the unity of the Holy Spirit
one God forever and ever.
- [Congregation] Amen.
- A reading from the book of the prophet Isaiah.
Rise up in splendor Jerusalem.
Your light has come.
The glory of the Lord shines upon you.
See darkness covers the Earth,
and thick clouds cover the peoples.
But upon you the Lord shines
and over you appears his glory.
Nation shall walk by your light
and kings by your shining radiance.
Raise your eyes and look about.
They all gather and come to you.
Your sons come from afar,
and your daughters in the arms of their nurses.
Then you shall be radiant at what you see.
Your heart shall throb and overflow.
For the riches of the sea shall be emptied out before you.
The wealth of nations shall be brought to you.
Caravans of camels shall fill you.
Dromedaries from Midian and Ephah,
all from Sheba shall come bearing gold and frankincense
and proclaiming the praises of the Lord.
The word of the Lord.
- [Congregation] Thanks be to God.

- A reading from the letter of Saint Paul to the Ephesians.
Brothers and sisters,
you have heard of the stewardship of God's grace
that was given to me for your benefit,
namely, that the mystery was made known to me by revelation.
It was not made known to people in other generations
as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles
and prophets by the Spirit
that the gentiles are coheirs,
members of the same body
and copartners in the promise
in Christ Jesus through the gospel.
The word of the Lord.
- [Congregation] Thanks be to God.

- A reading from the holy gospel according to Matthew.
- [Congregation] Glory to you, Lord.
- When Jesus of born in Bethlehem in Judea
in the days of King Herod,
behold Magi from the East arrived in Jerusalem saying,
"Where is the newborn king of the Jews?
"We saw his star at its rising
"and have come to do him homage."
When King Herod heard this, he was greatly troubled
and all Jerusalem with him.
Assembling all the chief priests
and the scribes of the people,
he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born.
They said to him, "In Bethlehem of Judea."
Thus it has been written through the prophet,
"And you Bethlehem land of Judah
"are by no means least among the rulers of Judah.
"Since from you shall come a ruler
"who is to shepherd my people Israel."
Then Herod called the Magi secretly
and ascertained from them the time of the star's appearance.
He sent them to Bethlehem and said,
"Go and search diligently for the child.
"When you have found him,
"bring me word that I too may go and do him homage."
After their audience with the king, they set out,
and behold the star that they had seen
at its rising preceded them until it came
and stopped over the place where the child was.
They were overjoyed at seeing the star,
and on entering the house
they saw the child with Mary his mother.
They prostrated themselves and did him homage,
then they opened their treasures and offered him
gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
Having been warned in a dreamed not to return to Herod,
they departed for their country by another way.
The gospel of the Lord.
- [Congregation] Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
- Today's gospel on this beautiful feast of the epiphany
really shows us how God is generous
and lavishes us with gifts
gifts beyond our merit we might even say.
Recognizing God's generosity we along with the Magi
pay homage to the Lord.
The gifts we offer are our faith, hope, and love
in service and in ministry to one another and to God.
Epiphany celebrates God's illuminating, animating,
and transforming presence in human life at all times.
Epiphany is a revelation, a manifestation.
It gives light.
It is concrete.
It does something.
The image of light is a strong image in our faith
but this image of light in that God is the light,
the light that comes from God,
God from God, light from light.
We hear that God revealed his Son to the nations
by the guidance of a star, the light of a star.
Today he reveals to all of us in faith the word made flesh,
which we celebrated on Christmas day, the incarnation,
the word of God coming to us
in the flesh in Jesus Christ.
His light is strong.
His light is near.
His light is love.
His light is pureness.
You see the arrival of the Magi teaches that God's kingdom
this church that we are, expands all time and space.
That light is present today as it was 2000 years ago.
This is the kind of joy that God wants to give us,
a sense of deep strong meaningful, meaningful joy
because God is faithful.
We know that whatever happens
no matter how the light in our lives may get obscured
or the clouds may block the light itself
that the light of Christ will always permeate
anything that we are experiencing
especially when we are in suffering
or trials, or tribulations, sickness.
This mass, this TV mass is for the home bound
those who can't be physically here present among us
but are with us spiritually at home.
That light of Christ carries them
and carries them through the difficulties
that they are experiencing
whether it be sickness or other reasons
but that light is permeated there as well
as we unite ourselves through the light of Christ.
So today as we did on Christmas,
as we did 2000 years ago
once again we receive the greatest gift of all.
We receive that gift of Jesus Christ.
We receive it present here and now in his word
in which we just proclaimed and heard
and in his Eucharist in his body and blood
that God is present even now amongst you and I.
God reminds us through that,
through that gift that sacramental gift,
that we can depend on him,
that we can count on God.
When we receive him in holy communion, let's remember that.
That God is present among us,
and we are carrying Christ the light within us,
and that we too are called to be light to the nations.
I believe in God the Father all mighty,
creator of Heaven and Earth,
and in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord,
who was conceived the Holy Spirit,
born of the virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended into Hell.
On the third day he rose again from the dead.
He ascended into Heaven
and is seated at the right hand of God
the Father all mighty.
From there he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy Catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection and the body
and life everlasting amen.
We now diligently present to God our needs
knowing that in Christ God gives us every good thing.
- That all members of the church
faithfully guide others to Christ
the light of the world
we pray to the Lord.
- [Congregation] Lord, hear our prayer.
- That peoples of all nations open their hearts
to the salvation God offers we pray to the Lord.
- [Congregation] Lord hear our prayer.
- That those troubled in mind, body, or soul
find joy and peace in Christ the light
we pray to the Lord.
- [Congregation] Lord, hear our prayer.
- That each of us here diligently search
for Christ the light
and manifest his presence by the way we live
we pray to the Lord.
- [Congregation] Lord, hear our prayer.
- Gracious God, you sent your Son to live among us
as the light of the world here these our prayers
that one day we might enjoy everlasting light
and life with you.
Grant this through Christ our Lord.
- [Congregation] Amen.
(soft piano melody)
(priest whispering softly)
- Praise, sisters and brothers, that my sacrifice
and yours may be acceptable to God the all mighty Father.
- [Congregation] May the Lord accept the sacrifice
at your hands for the praise and glory of his name
for our good and for the good of all his holy church.
- Lord, look with favor
we pray on these gifts of your church
in which are offered now
not gold or frankincense or myrrh,
but he who by them is proclaimed sacrifice
and receive Jesus Christ who lives
and reigns forever and ever.
- [Congregation] Amen.
- The Lord be with you.
- [Congregation] And with your spirit.
- Lift up your hearts.
- [Congregation] We lift them up to the Lord.
- Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
- [Congregation] It is right and just.
- It is truly right and just
our duty and our salvation always
and everywhere to give you thanks
Lord holy Father, all mighty and eternal God.
For today you have revealed the mystery of our salvation
in Christ as a light for the nations.
When he appeared in our mortal nature,
you made us new by the glory of his immortal nature,
and so with angels and archangels,
with thrones and dominions,
with all the hosts and powers of Heaven
we sing the hymn of your glory
as without end we acclaim.

- To you therefore most, merciful Father,
we make humble prayer and petition through Jesus Christ
your Son, our Lord that you accept and bless these gifts,
these offerings, these holy, and unblemished sacrifices
which we offer you firstly for your holy Catholic church.
Be pleased to grant her peace to guard, unite,
and govern her throughout the whole world
together with your servant Francis our Pope
and Joseph our Bishop,
and all those who holding to the truth
hand on the Catholic and Apostolic faith.
Remember, Lord, your servant.
All gathered here whose faith and devotion are known to you
for them we offer you this sacrifice of praise,
or they offer it for themselves and all who are dear to them
for the redemption of their souls
in hope of health and well being
and paying their homage to you,
the eternal God living and true.
Celebrating the most sacred day
in which your only begotten Son
eternal with you in your glory
appeared in human body truly sharing our flesh
and in communion with those whose memory we venerate
especially the glorious ever virgin Mary,
mother of our God and Lord Jesus Christ,
and blessed Joseph her spouse,
your blessed apostles and martyrs,
Peter, and Paul, Andrew,
James, John, Thomas, James, Philip,
Bartholomew, Matthew, Simon, and Jude,
Linus, Cletus, Clement, Sixtus, Cornelius, Cyprian,
Lawrence, Chrysogonus, John, and Paul,
Cosmas and Damian and all your saints.
We ask that through their merits and prayers in all things
we may be defended by your protecting help.
Therefore, Lord, graciously accept this oblation
of our service that of your whole family
order our days in your peace
and command that we be delivered from eternal damnation
and counted among the flock of those you have chosen.
Be pleased, God, we pray to bless, acknowledge,
and approve this offering in every respect.
Make it spiritual and acceptable
so that it may become for us the body
and blood of your most beloved Son,
our Lord Jesus Christ.
On a day before he was to suffer
he took bread in his holy and venerable hands
and with eyes raised to Heaven to you, God,
his all mighty Father
giving you thanks he said the blessing
broke the bread, and gave it to his disciples saying,
"Take this all of you and eat of it.
"For this is my body which will be given up for you."
In a similar way when supper was ended he took this precious
chalice in his holy and venerable hands
and once more giving you thanks he said the blessing
and gave the chalice to his disciples saying,
"Take this all of you and drink from it.
"For this is the chalice of my blood,
"the blood of the new and eternal covenant
"which will be poured out for you
"and for many for the forgiveness of sins.
"Do this in memory of me."

- Therefore, Lord, as we celebrate the memorial
of the blessed passion, the resurrection from the dead,
and the glorious ascension into Heaven
of Christ your Son our Lord,
we your servants and your holy people
offer to your glorious majesty from the gifts
that you have given us this pure victim,
this holy victim, this spotless victim
the holy bread of eternal life,
and the chalice of everlasting salvation.
Be pleased to look upon these offerings
with a serene and kindly countenance
and to accept them as once you were pleased to accept
the gifts of your servant Abel, the just
the sacrifice of Abraham, our father in faith,
and the offering of your high priest Melchizedek
a holy sacrifice, a spotless victim.
In humble prayer we ask you, all mighty God,
command that these gifts be borne
by the hands of your holy angel to your altar on high
in the sight of your divine majesty,
so that all of us who through participation at the altar
receive the most holy body and blood of your Son
may be filled with every grace and heavenly blessing.
Remember also your servants who have gone before us
with the sign of faith and rest in the sleep of peace.
To us also your servants,
who through sinners hope in your abundant mercies
graciously grant some share and fellowship
with your holy apostles and martyrs
with John the Baptist, Stephen, Matthias, Barnabas,
Ignatius, Alexander, Marcellinus, Peter,
Felicity, Perpetua, Agatha, Lucy,
Agnes, Cecilia, Anastasia and all your saints
admit us we beseech you into their company
not weighing our merits
but granting us your pardon through Christ our Lord
through whom you continue to make
all these good things, Lord.
You sanctify them, fill them with life,
bless them, and bestow them upon us.
