Epiphany is the Church’s doorway into the new year - a feast that turns Christmas from a celebration into a mission. In this episode, we reflect on Christ revealed to the nations, the journey of the Wise Men, and how January invites us to respond with intention, sacrifice, and love refined by prayer.Beth explores how Epiphany reveals Jesus as Lord for all people and asks how we will respond now that He has been made known to us, how the gifts of the Magi—gold, frankincense, and myrrh—teach us to offer love, continual prayer, and fasting as participation in Christ’s life, and how spiritual fasting reorders desire, transforms suffering into gift, and sends us home by another way, changed by encounter with Christ.Help Beth reach her goal of bringing 1 Million Catholics back to the Church: Please subscribe to the podcast and leave a review! Delay and Pray® Links:$10 Delay and Pray® Book BundleThe Catholic Fasting CoachInstagramFacebook
