The Uncertain Journey Continues
Epiphany 2021
This year, our journey to the manger, our journey through Advent, happened in the midst of a global pandemic -- when so much that we have often taken for granted seemed up for grabs. Even the usually-certain parts of our lives became less clear, less sure. During Epiphany and the season to follow, we continue that uncertain journey. We remember the Wise Ones who followed a star and then a dream. We remember that the Holy Family fled Bethlehem as refugees to live for a time in Egypt. And beyond these early Christmas stories, we follow Jesus as he begins his ministry with all its twists and turns.
The journey is uncertain, but we are not alone. We follow in the faithful footsteps of journeyers before us -- often unsure, almost always afraid and also guided by faith. We look to one another for hope and strength as we open our hearts to receive and share God’s gifts of hope, peace, joy and love. Not because the journey is certain or even safe, but because we have faith. And because God is always with us.
