Epiphany
The Church concludes the celebration of the Christmas season with the feast of the Epiphany, Matthew's legendary story of the Magi, the three wise men from different countries who followed the star to find the Lord. Epiphany is a Greek word that refers to a god appearing among humans and for us it is the Son of God coming into our reality as fully human. We celebrate God's revelation of Himself not only to the Jews but to the whole human family. He blesses and invites all to be His brothers and sisters through faith and love. The Magi came looking for a human king and found an infant who invites them into a kingdom of love, peace and justice for all. Let us ask for the grace to keep searching for and following the stars in our own lives and to be the star for others in reflecting the light of Christ.
