Saint John Neumann, Bishop
Memorial

St. John Neumann was born in 1811 in Bohemia, in the modern day Czech Republic. He graduated from college and seminary, but wasn’t ordained until he traveled to America. Once in New York, he joined the Redemptorist Order and faithfully served the poor in Buffalo. In 1852, he was elected the bishop of Philadelphia. During his term, he established over 50 churches, 100 schools and began the building of a cathedral. He is the first American bishop to be canonized.[1]

Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy Name,
thy kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those
who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory,
for ever and ever. Amen.
PS: I wish everyone who reads, would paste it on their page. It's a world prayer assignment, a couple of minutes for the health of all the sick, weary and heartbroken.
AMEN.

Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton, Religious
Memorial

St. Elizabeth Ann Seton was born in New York in 1774. The daughter of a prominent Columbia College professor and a devout Anglican mother, Elizabeth Ann was studious and pious. At age 20, she married and later, had five children. She and her sister-in-law, Rebecca Seton, cared deeply for New York’s poor, organizing social programs in the city to help them. After the death of her husband, St. Elizabeth Ann converted to Catholicism, eventually taking private vows. In 1809, she founded the Sisters of Charity, modeled after St. Vincent de Paul’s Daughters of Charity in France. The group would go on to pioneer the American Catholic school system. [1][2][3]

The Epiphany of the Lord
Solemnity

“Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. For behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and thick darkness the peoples; but the Lord will arise upon you, and his glory will be seen upon you. And nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising” (Is 60:1-3). [1]

Today we honor the “mystery of the manifestation of Our Lord, Jesus Christ to all peoples.” [2] The feast began in the East in the 3rd century. Today’s celebration embraces the visit of the Magi, Jesus’ baptism, and His first miracle at Cana. Together they represent the appearance of God to mankind, the Theophany. Today’s Epiphany presents us with Jesus’ divinity and we come to understand that His saving work is available to all. [3]
