Epiphany of Our Lord

On Epiphany the Sisters hold a traditional House Blessing., using a prayer from Sister Mary Christa Kroening.

Jesus, the Christ of God, be our bright Morning Star of Faith.

Awaken us to your presence among us this day.

Bless us with the Star of Faith which inspired the Magi to seek you and discern the true and just pathway in our life together.

Bless all the people who touch our lives and those who have asked for our prayerful support.

We ask this in your Holy Name.

Amen! Alleluia!
