Homily for Epiphany, 2021

See, darkness covers the earth, and thick clouds cover the peoples. This is a sentence that could have described 2020 even though it was written by the prophet Isaiah centuries ago. We had economic distress, the global pandemic, physical separation from those we love and care about. In the midst of all this, did we witness as a people of light to a world of darkness? Did we live the example of faith that became attractive to those without hope? Or did we give into the darkness?
