CATHOLIC RELIEF SERVICES:   In Oromia, Ethiopia, drought has destroyed entire regions of crops, devastating the local agriculture industry & economy. In places like Oromia, where sustainability is based entirely on agriculture, food security is alarmingly low. At a local Catholic church in the region, hundreds of children are receiving therapeutic milk & medical treatment from Catholic Relief Services. In addition to funding the important international relief work of CRS, The Catholic Relief Services Collection supports legal & resettlement services for refugees, advocacy, & disaster/ emergency relief. When you donate to The Catholic Relief Services, you give hope. Please be generous in next week’s Collection.

EPIPHANY PRAYER 
Father of light, unchanging God,
today you reveal to men of faith
the resplendent fact of the
Word made flesh.
Your light is strong,
Your love is near;
draw us beyond the limits
which this world imposes,
to the life where Your Spirit
makes all life complete.
We ask this through
Christ our Lord. Amen.
