Arise and Shine

On the Feast of the Epiphany, The Rev. Michael Singer reflects on the meaning of epiphany as revelation—God’s light made visible in the world and through our lives. Drawing on the journey of the Magi, the imagery of light after the winter solstice, and the Church’s call to justice, Father Michael reminds us that following Christ means traveling toward the light and offering our gifts, however humble, for the healing of the world.

Epiphany calls us not only to see Christ revealed, but to become bearers of that light ourselves—naming injustice, standing with the poor, and living out our baptismal covenant through love, service, and action. As Isaiah proclaims, we are invited to arise and shine, trusting that God’s light can and does shine through us.
