“The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light, and for those who sat in the region and shadow of death light has dawned.”
At your baptism in the Jordan, O Lord, worship of the Trinity was revealed;
for the Father’s voice bore witness to you, calling you His beloved Son, and the Spirit in the form of a confirmed the truth of these words. O Christ, Who appeared and enlightened the world, glory to You! You have revealed Yourself to the world today; and Your light, 0 Lord, has set its seal on us. We recognize You and exclaim to You: You have come and revealed Yourself, O Unapproachable Light.
As the prophet foretold, a Great Light, Christ, has shown upon Galilee of the Gentiles, upon the land of Zebulon, and the lan of Naphtali. A people living in darkness have seen a Great Light shining from Bethlehem. The Sun of Righteousness, the Lord born of Mary, casts His rays upon all those who dwell on earth. Come then, O naked children of Adam, and let us clothe ourselves in Him that we may warm ourselves. For the Light that no one can approach, the One Who is a protection and a mantle for the naked, the Light to those in darkness, has appeared and revealed Himself today. (Ikos of Theophany Matins)

Those parishioners who wish to have their house blessed are asked to contact Deacon Jon. Each household that requests this blessing will be contacted by phone to schedule a time for this pastoral visit by Rev. Father Ihor Papka. As our souls, so also our homes become tainted by the sins of those living in them and, consequently, lose God’s protective power. Every year, then, at the Feast of the Theophany, they should be blessed again to secure for them God’s blessings and protection. Just as the faithful cleanse their soul of sin at least once a year, and the church is blessed with the newly blessed water every year, so should the homes of the faithful be yearly blessed to invoke God’s blessings and protection on it and its inhabitants.
Sunday before Theophany

Sunday before Theophany
The main theme of this Sunday is taken from the Gospel of St. Mark 1: 1 - 8, which speaks to us in anticipation of the call (preparation) for a new beginning. The Evangelist Mark relates the adult life of Jesus, beginning with His Baptism in the River Jordan, as the gospel of good news of the salvation of mankind through Jesus Christ.
The main theme of preparation is fulfilled by John the Baptist, who announces the public appearance of Jesus and seeks to prepare the people to accept Him. The preaching of John the Baptist is already the beginning of the good news of Jesus Christ by anticipation. For as John the Baptist says, “Prepare the way of the Lord…make a straight path for Him to travel”. What a great message and challenge to us as we end one year and begin another. We are asked, can we, “prepare a way for the Lord?” primarily by setting down for it the gospel of Jesus Christ in our lives. Can we “make his path straight”, by more fervently believing in Him, and by following His teachings more closely. Imagine as we welcome the new year, to now set down for ourselves a new spiritual goal or effort that is worthy of the love of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Let this Feast of the Theophany, the manifestation of God in the flesh, the glorious Feast of Light, embolden our weary hearts with hope and regeneration in the sanctified waters of the Jordan. At your baptism in the Jordan, O Lord, worship of the Trinity was revealed; for the
Father's voice bore witness to you, calling you his beloved Son, and the Spirit in the form of a dove confirmed the truth of these words. O Christ God, you appeared and enlightened the world. Glory to you!
