Solemnity of the Epiphany Contemporary Rite p. 63 Penitential Rite, p. 66 Entrance Hymn V. The Messenger of the Covenant in Whom you desire, Yes, He is coming, says the Lord of Hosts R. We saw His star at its rising, and have come to do Him homage. V. Glory be R. As it was A Reading from the Book of the Prophet Isaiah. Is 60:1-6 Rise up in splendor, Jerusalem! Your light has come, the glory of the Lord shines upon you. See, darkness covers the earth, and thick clouds cover the peoples; but upon you the LORD shines, and over you appears his glory. Nations shall walk by your light, and kings by your shining radiance. Raise your eyes and look about; they all gather and come to you: your sons come from afar, and your daughters in the arms of their nurses. Then you shall be radiant at what you see, your heart shall throb and overflow, for the riches of the sea shall be emptied out before you, the wealth of nations shall be brought to you. Caravans of camels shall fill you, dromedaries from Midian and Ephah; all from Sheba shall come bearing gold and frankincense, and proclaiming the praises of the LORD. This is the Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. Psalm Lord, every nation on earth will adore you. (Ps. 72) A reading from the Letter of St. Paul to the Ephesians. Ephesians 3:2-3a, 5-6 Brothers and sisters: You have heard of the stewardship of God's grace that was given to me for your benefit, namely, that the mystery was made known to me by revelation. It was not made known to people in other generations as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit: that the Gentiles are coheirs, members of St. Canute of Denmark January 7 King Canute IV the Holy (1042-1086) is the patron saint of Denmark and the first Dane to be canonized. His father was King Sweyn II Estridsson and his mother was an unknown concubine. Saint Canute's holy day is the 10th of July. Canute IV was a warrior like his father and helped to lead raids against England in 1069 and 1075. In 1080 he became king of Denmark and married Adela of Flanders. He donated land and wealth to churches throughout Denmark, especially to Lund Cathedral. In 1085 he founded Lund Cathedral School, the oldest school in Scandinavia. He also increased royal power which alienated both nobles and peasants alike as they lost many old privileges. Canute IV regarded King William I "the Conqueror" as a usurper to the throne of England and decided to invade in 1085. Canute IV assembled an invasion fleet in north Jutland with allied forces from Flanders and Norway, but this was delayed due to problems on the southern border in Schleswig. In early 1086 peasants in north Jutland, led by dissatisfied nobles rose up against Canute IV who fled to Odense. The rebels broke into the monastery of St Albans where Canute IV was seeking sanctuary and killed him, his brother Benedict and seventeen others. The murder shocked the Christian world and Canute IV was canonized soon after in 1101. He was reburied in 1300 in Odense Cathedral that was renamed Saint Canute after him. His brother Olaf I Hunger became king after him. Olaf I got his unfortunate nickname because of the many years of crop failure and famine during his reign that was seen as God's punishment for the murder of Canute IV.

Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia. R. Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia V. We saw his star at its rising and have come to do him homage. R. Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to St. Matthew. Mt 2:1-12 When Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the days of King Herod, behold, magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem, saying, "Where is the newborn king of the Jews? We saw his star at its rising and have come to do him homage." When King Herod heard this, he was greatly troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. Assembling all the chief priests and the scribes of the people, He inquired of them where the Christ was to be born. They said to him, "In Bethlehem of Judea, for thus it has been written through the prophet: And you, Bethlehem, land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; since from you shall come a ruler, who is to shepherd my people Israel." Then Herod called the magi secretly and ascertained from them the time of the star's appearance. He sent them to Bethlehem and said, "Go and search diligently for the child. When you have found him, bring me word, that I too may go and do him homage." After their audience with the king they set out. And behold, the star that they had seen at its rising preceded them, until it came and stopped over the place where the child was. They were overjoyed at seeing the star, and on entering the house they saw the child with Mary his mother. They prostrated themselves and did him homage. Then they opened their treasures and offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. And having been warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed for their country by another way. This is the Gospel of the Lord. Praise be to You, Jesus Christ. January 6, 2019 3
