This Week at École OLPH School
January 8 to 12, 2024
A Reading from the Gospel for Sunday, January 7, 2024
In the time of King Herod, after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, magi from the east came to Jerusalem, asking, “Where is the child who has been born king of the Jews? For we observed his star in the east, and have come to pay him homage.”
Then King Herod sent them to Bethlehem saying, “Go and search diligently for the child.”
They set out, and there, ahead of them, went the star that they had seen in the east, until it stopped over the place where the child was. When they saw that the star had stopped, they were overwhelmed with joy. On entering the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they knelt down and paid him homage.
