Epiphany

Matthew 2:1-12

2:8-11 Then he sent them to Bethlehem, saying, "Go and search diligently for the child; and when you have found him, bring me word so that I may also go and pay him homage." When they had heard the king, they set out; and there, ahead of them, went the star that they had seen at its rising, until it stopped over the place where the child was.

When they saw that the star had stopped, they were overwhelmed with joy. On entering the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother; and they knelt down and paid him homage. Then, opening their treasure chests, they offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh

Ephesians 3:1-12

3:5-8 In former generations this mystery was not made known to humankind, as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit: that is, the Gentiles have become fellow heirs, members of the same body, and sharers in the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel. Of this gospel I have become a servant according to the gift of God's grace that was given me by the working of his power. Although I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was given to me to bring to the Gentiles the news of the boundless riches of Christ

Nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn.

Psalm 72:1-7, 10-14

72:1-2 Give the king your justice, O God, and your righteousness to a king's son. May he judge your people with righteousness, and your poor with justice. 72:6 May he be like rain that falls on the mown grass, like showers that water the earth. For he delivers the needy when they call, the poor and those who have no helper.13,14 He has pity on the weak and the needy, and saves the lives of the needy. From oppression and violence he redeems their life; and precious is their blood in his sight.
