In the hours leading up to the Epiphany or the Manifestation, I thought to list a manifest of preparation that will help us actually experience the Epiphany.
Manifest
Four Basics
1. Tear down walls of separation – from within and around me root out the prejudice which erodes the depth of our humanity.
2. See the Presence of God – teach us to recognize the many forms of God’s presence in one another.
3. Assent to be holy as God is holy – with integrity of word and deed, faith and action.
4. Let God transform me and all of creation – may every heart, voice, deed, action throughout the universe be transformed.
Happy Epiphany!
