Happy Epiphany

Happy Epiphany

Fr. Martin Fox offers one of the best Epiphany homilies I've ever seen, which it's mostly an extended quote from Flannery O'Connor. There's no less credit to Fr. Fox for finding it and using it.

“‘Who is this?’ the world said. ‘Who is this blue-cold child and this woman, plain as the winter?

“‘Is this the Word of God, this blue-cold child? Is this His will, this plain winter-woman?’

[…]

“‘Listen world,’” O’Connor’s young evangelist cried out. “Jesus is coming again! Will you know the Lord Jesus then?

“If you don’t know Him now, you won’t know Him then.”
