PASTOR'S NOTES
There is a parish brunch today after the 10:15am Mass. All are welcome. There will be a brief talk on the finances of the parish afterward.
There are blessed Epiphany water and chalk in the vestibule of the church. You may take these sacramentals to sprinkle in your homes and write the blessing of the Three Kings above the doors into your house.
Epiphany, which we celebrated on January 6th (also known as Twelfth Night, Theophany, or Three Kings Day) marks the Christian tradition of "chalking the doors." The formula for the ritual is simple: take Blessed chalk and write the following above the entrance of your home: 20 + C + M + B + 17. The letters have two meanings. First, they represent the initials of the Magi - Caspar, Melchior, and Balthazar. They also abbreviate the Latin phrase Christus mansionem benedicat: "May Christ bless the house." The "+" signs represent the cross. The "20" at the beginning and the "17" at the end mark the year. The inscription is a request that Christ bless the marked homes and stay with those who dwell therein throughout the year. This is normally done by a priest or the father of a family.
