January 3, 2016 With Blessed Father Alberione and With Father Tom

Sunday, January 3

FIRST SUNDAY OF THE MONTH—

THE DIVINE MASTER, WAY, TRUTH AND LIFE

EPIPHANY OF THE LORD

Is 60: 1-6

Ps 72: 1-14

Eph 3: 2-6

Mt 2: 1-12

May the month of January, in honor of the Divine Master, make us grow in wisdom, age and grace (SP Jan 1936).

FROM FATHER TOM:  No problem with growing in age...So the challenge often is to struggle against the weaknesses that age brings. I often think that Jesus never knew anything except perfect health and so we can live our last days for Him in a unique type of suffering and atonement.
