The word Epiphany means manifestation. The Church in the Mass commemorates a triple manifestation of Christ: to the Magi, that is, to the Gentiles; in His Baptism, when the Voice from heaven declared: “This is My Beloved Son”; and in the miracle of changing water into wine at Cana.

January 6th ~ The EPIPHANY of OUR LORD
O GOD, Who on this day, by the guiding star, didst reveal Thy Only-begotten Son to the Gentiles, mercifully grant, that we who now know Thee by faith, may be led on even to look upon the beauty of Thy Majesty.
Through the same Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. Amen.

DEUS, qui hodiérna die Unigénitum tuum géntibus stella duce revelásti: concéde propítius; ut, qui jam te ex fide congnóvimus, usque ad contemplándam spéciam tuæ celsitúdinis perducámur.
Per eúndem Dóminum nostrum Jesum Christum fílium tuum, qui tecum vivit et regnat, in unitate Spíritus Sancti, Deus, per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

EPIPHANY BLESSING
Hear us, O Lord, Father Almighty, Eternal God, and send Thy holy angel from heaven to watch over, cherish, protect, attend, and defend all who live in this dwelling. We call upon Thy saints, Caspar, Melchior, and Balthazar, to protect our family and our home from every harm and danger, and we place their mark over our door to remain there as a constant reminder to us and to all who enter here that our home is truly a home dedicated to the Lord, Jesus Christ.
O God, make the door of our home a gateway to Thine eternal Kingdom. We ask these things in the Name of Jesus Christ, Thy Son. Amen

EPIPHANY BLESSING
Thus it is that the faithful bless their homes with the sign: 20 + C + M + B + 26 signifying both the names of the wise men and also “May Christ this Mansion Bless”.
According to Venerable Bede, Melchior gave gold, Gaspar frankincense, and Balthasar myrrh.
After saying this prayer, write the initials of the Magi (Caspar, Melchior, and Balthazar) and the year with blessed chalk over the main door of your home.
For this year, 20 + C + M + B + 26

ALMIGHTY God! Who, though dwelling in the highest heavens, yet vouchsafest to regard the lowest creature upon earth; I humbly adore thy sacred Majesty, and with all the force and powers of my soul, exalt and praise Thy holy name, for the infinite blessings Thou hast so freely bestowed upon me, for electing me in Thy love, and creating me to Thy own image; for redeeming me by thy Son, and sanctifying me with Thy Holy Spirit; for preserving me in all the troubles and encounters of this life, and raising up my thoughts to the hope of a better; and particularly for Thy gracious protection from the dangers of the past night, and for bringing me safely to the beginning of this day. Continue, O Lord, thy mercy to me; and, as Thou hast awakened my body from sleep, so raise my soul from sin, that I may walk soberly and chastely as in the day, in all holy obedience, before thy face.

A MORNING PRAYER
Deliver me, O merciful God, from the evils of this day, and guide my feet in the ways of peace. Strengthen my resolutions to embrace with gladness all opportunities of doing good, and carefully to avoid all occasions of sin, especially those which I have found by experience to be most dangerous to my soul; and when, through frailty, I forget Thee, do Thou, in Thy mercy remember me; that as I often fall by the evil inclination of my nature, I may instantly rise again by the assistance of Thy grace. Make me diligent in the duties of my calling and state of life, and not too solicitous for the success of my affairs; but in all the miscarriages and crosses of this world, absolutely submit to Thy divine pleasure, and wholly rely on thy merciful providence. Let Thy blessing be upon my actions, and Thy grace direct my intentions; that the whole course of my life,and the principal design of my heart, may always tend to the advancement of Thy glory, the good of others, and the eternal salvation of my own soul; through Jesus Christ our Lord and only Saviour, who, with Thee and the Holy Ghost, liveth and reigneth one God, world without end.
