From
Vultus Christi:
The Five Mysteries of the Epiphany correspond to the five great Epiphany Gospels given us by the Church (in the traditional
calendar and Liturgy) on the day of the Epiphany, 6 January; on the
feast of the Baptism of the Lord, 13 January; and on the Second, Third,
and Fourth Sundays after Epiphany. Each of these Gospels presents a
particular manifestation of the Divinity of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
1. Matthew 2:1-12, Our Lord makes himself known to the Magi by means of a star, and receives their adoration in Bethlehem.
And behold the star which they had seen in the east, went
before them, until it came and stood over where the child was. And
seeing the star they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. And entering
into the house, they found the child with Mary his mother, and falling
down they adored him. (Mt 2:9-11)
2. John 1:29-34 -- At His Baptism in the Jordan by John, the Holy
Ghost descends in the form of a dove, and the voice of the Father
reveals Jesus as His Beloved Son, in whom He is well pleased.
Now it came to pass, when all the people were baptized, that
Jesus also being baptized and praying, heaven was opened; And the Holy
Ghost descended in a bodily shape, as a dove upon him; and a voice came
from heaven: Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased. (Lk
3:21-22)
3. John 2:1-11 -- At the wedding feast in Cana of Galilee, Jesus, at His Mother's bidding, changes water into wine.
And the wine failing, the mother of Jesus saith to him: They
have no wine. And Jesus saith to her: Woman, what is that to me and to
thee? my hour is not yet come. His mother saith to the waiters:
Whatsoever he shall say to you, do ye. (Jn 2:3-5)
4. Matthew 8:1-13 -- Jesus, with a word, cleanses a leper.
And behold a leper came and adored him, saying: Lord, if
thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. And Jesus stretching forth his
hand, touched him, saying: I will, be thou made clean. And forthwith his
leprosy was cleansed. (Mt 8:2-3)
5. Matthew 8:23-27 -- Jesus calms the raging sea.
And behold a great tempest arose in the sea, so that the
boat was covered with waves, but he was asleep. And they came to him,
and awaked him, saying: Lord, save us, we perish. And Jesus saith to
them: Why are you fearful, O ye of little faith? Then rising up he
commanded the winds, and the sea, and there came a great calm. (Mt
8:24-25)
