[Magdalen] Epiphany

[Lynn Ronkainen]

My experience here in Houston is that  (feast of) Epiphany is celebrated the 
Sunday before the feast, if not on the 6th. I always thought it was because 
otherwise we would be behind the synch of the readings for the season after 
Epiphany which vary in number each year depending on the moon... I mean 
Lent/Easter <gdr>.

When I stand before God at the end of my life I would hope that I have not a 
single bit of talent left and could say, "I used everything You gave me."
