4 January • The Epiphany: Finding the Prince of Peace in a Broken World
Welcome to "A Word of Hope" for Sunday, January 4th, celebrating the Solemnity of the Epiphany. Broadcasting from the Chapel of St. Catherine of Siena House in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Fr. Bob Keller shares a reflection beside a beautiful Polish creche.
In today's video, Fr. Bob explores the journey of the Magi—wise men who traveled great distances following a star to find the "newborn King of the Jews." This title threw a curveball to King Herod, sparking fear and political jealousy. Yet, as Fr. Bob explains, Jesus came not as a political rival, but as the true King of Israel and the Prince of Peace.
While the world struggles to find peace amidst conflict, Christ offers a different kind of peace—one that begins with the forgiveness of sins. Watch this reflection to understand how the Epiphany invites us to let the peace of Christ conquer our hearts and homes today.
Watch now to celebrate the revelation of the Son of God and find hope for the new year.
