Epiphany Journaling Novena Booklet

Joe Paprocki Christmas

Epiphany Journaling Novena Booklet

An Epiphany novena is a wonderful way of marking the Christmas season with prayer that is inspired by the Scriptural images of the journey of the Magi. This novena in anticipation of the traditional Feast of the Epiphany begins on December 28.

This year, let’s take time to reflect on our own spiritual journey as we walk prayerfully with the Magi on their journey. Download my Epiphany Journaling Novena booklet for nine days of written reflection based on Matthew 2:1–12.

Share the booklet with catechists, adult faith formation groups, or other parish adults as a simple invitation to slow down during the Christmas season. Suggest sitting in front of the family crèche while writing each day’s journal entry.
