On this Feast of the Epiphany, June, Brother Chris, and Angela lead listeners through a joyful and contemplative Catholic Radio Liturgy celebrating Christ revealed to the nations. Through Scripture, prayer, hymns, and reflection, the programme explores the journey of the Magi, God’s universal call, and the invitation for all believers to open their hearts, overcome prejudice, and recognise Christ in every person they meet.
The readings from Isaiah, Ephesians, and Matthew highlight God’s light shining in the world and the mystery now revealed—that all people share in the same promise in Christ. A homily from Fr. Flor McCarthy reminds listeners that generosity enriches the giver, just as the Magi were enriched by offering their gifts to the child Jesus. The liturgy includes prayers of intercession, parish notices, and seasonal music, all encouraging listeners to follow the “Christmas star” toward deeper faith and renewed compassion.
This program was produced at and first aired on MPR, Manawatū People’s Radio, with support from New Zealand On Air.
