While Epiphanytide continues the celebration of the incarnation of the Son/Word, this season following Christmastide distinctly includes reflection on the deep meaning of the healing miracles of Jesus during his early ministry among his people. These miracles, themselves epiphanies (manifestations) of the incarnation of God's only-begotten Son, are revelations of God's desire to heal/reconcile sinful humanity unto the throne of grace and salvation.
Please scroll down to the bottom of this post in order to obtain all of the propers for Epiphanytide!
May the Lord bless you and your loved ones through this holy season.
Blessings,

Almighty Father, by the light of a star, you manifested your only-begotten Son to the peoples of the earth.

We ask this through your incarnate Word, Christ Jesus our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

Rubrical Principles for the Latter Sundays of Epiphany
(1) This portion of the Epiphanytide lectionary is comprised of readings that focus on the gospel miracles occurring after the wedding at Cana and prior to the transfiguration of Jesus. These miracles constitute various epiphanies of the incarnate Word of God and thus are appropriately included in the spiritual reflections of the incarnational cycle.
(2) As the number of available latter Epiphanytide propers exceeds the greatest possible number of Sundays that follow the 4th Sunday after Epiphany (Cana Sunday), the pastors of the local churches may select from the available optional propers of Epiphany 5-14 those propers needed to cover the Sundays between the 4th Sunday after Epiphany (Cana Sunday) and the Last Sunday after Epiphany (Transfiguration Sunday), in order to meet the perceived needs of their local churches.
(3) However, the latter Epiphanytide propers must be selected and utilized sequentially. For example, if in a given liturgical year there are only two Sundays between Cana Sunday and Transfiguration Sunday, and if the pastor should select the optional proper for Epiphany 8 for use on the 5th Sunday after Epiphany, then the propers for Epiphany 9-14 would be available for selection for the 6th Sunday after Epiphany.
Optional Epiphany 5: "The Cure of Peter's Mother-in-Law"
Prayer:
Almighty Father, your Spirit manifested your glory and led many to faith through the miracles of your Son. As we recall the cure of Peter's mother-in-law, transform us through your Son's compassion and love, so that our lives may become inseparable from his life and goodness. We ask this through your incarnate Word, Christ Jesus our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
