The Epiphany of Our Lord is the Catholic feast. The word “epiphany” comes from the Greek epiphainen, a verb that means “to shine upon,” “to manifest,” or “to make known.” Thus, the feast of the Epiphany celebrates the many ways that Christ has made Himself known to the world, mainly the three events that manifested the mission and divinity of Christ: the visit of the Magi (Matthew 2:1-12), the baptism of Jesus (Mark 1:9-11), and the miracle at Cana (John 2:1-11).
The visit of the Magi is emphasized on Epiphany Day, and Christ’s baptism is celebrated the first Sunday that follows.
Today we celebrated with our Epiphany Mass. 
During Advent we are focusing on preparing for the Second Coming of Christ and being ready to celebrate Jesus’ birth at Christmas.
As part of our preparation we have been conscious of the times that we have failed to live as Jesus would want us to. We know that because God is with us we can turn away from sin and change our lives.
Father Pawel celebrated a wonderful and holy Advent Mass with us here at St Teresa’s. 
Lucy was born in 283AD into a rich family. Her Father died while she was young. Her Mother was ill for four years. Lucy persuaded her Mother to go to the tomb of Saint Agatha where they prayed all night and fell asleep exhausted. Saint Agatha appeared in a vision to Lucy and at that point her mother was cured. Saint Lucy is the patron saint for people who have trouble with their eyes.
