The Epiphany is the manifestation of Jesus as Messiah of Israel, Son of God and
Saviour of the world. the great feast of Epiphany celebrates the adoration of
Jesus by the wise men (magi) from the East, together with his baptism in the
Jordan and the wedding feast at Cana in Galilee.²¹² In the magi,
representatives of the neighbouring pagan religions, the Gospel sees the
first-fruits of the nations, who welcome the good news of salvation through the
Incarnation. the magi’s coming to Jerusalem in order to pay homage to the king
of the Jews shows that they seek in Israel, in the messianic light of the star
of David, the one who will be king of the nations.²¹³ Their coming
means that pagans can discover Jesus and worship him as Son of God and Saviour
of the world only by turning towards the Jews and receiving from them the
messianic promise as contained in the Old Testament.²¹⁴ The Epiphany
shows that “the full number of the nations” now takes its “place
in the family of the patriarchs”, and acquires Israelitica
dignitas²¹⁵ (is made “worthy of the heritage of Israel”).

Missionary motivation. It is from God’s love for all men that the Church in
every age receives both the obligation and the vigor of her missionary
dynamism, “for the love of Christ urges us on.”³⁴³ Indeed,
God “desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the
truth”;³⁴⁴ that is, God wills the salvation of everyone through
the knowledge of the truth. Salvation is found in the truth. Those who obey the
prompting of the Spirit of truth are already on the way of salvation. But the
Church, to whom this truth has been entrusted, must go out to meet their
desire, so as to bring them the truth. Because she believes in God’s universal
plan of salvation, the Church must be missionary.

At the
Council of Nicaea in 325, all the Churches agreed that Easter, the Christian
Passover, should be celebrated on the Sunday following the first full moon (14
Nisan) after the vernal equinox. the reform of the Western calendar, called
“Gregorian” after Pope Gregory XIII (1582), caused a discrepancy of
several days with the Eastern calendar. Today, the Western and Eastern Churches
are seeking an agreement in order once again to celebrate the day of the Lord’s
Resurrection on a common date.

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”¹¹⁶
Holy Scripture begins with these solemn words. the profession of faith takes them
up when it confesses that God the Father almighty is “Creator of heaven
and earth” (Apostles’ Creed), “of all that is, seen and unseen”
(Nicene Creed). We shall speak first of the Creator, then of creation and
finally of the fall into sin from which Jesus Christ, the Son of God, came to
raise us up again.
