Reflections
Today’s
Reflection
Mt
2:1-12
As you listened to the gospel, did
you hear any echoes of the Old Testament
reading from Isaiah? Perhaps you noticed
that in both readings people are being led
by a bright light on a long journey. They
want to see the Lord’s glory and
honor him with gifts (gold, frankincense,
and myrrh). Matthew tells us the story of
the astrologers, or magi. They followed a
star to find “the newborn king of the
Jews.” Today’s feast is called
Epiphany, a word meaning
“manifestation” or “shining
forth” like a light. We celebrate
that day when Jesus, our Light, was first
revealed to the nations beyond Israel.
Just as light shines forth so that we may
see in the darkness, our faith in Jesus
shines forth in us.
1. How are you like the
magi?
2. Do you have “stars” in
your life that lead you on the right path
to Jesus?
3. Who or what are
they?
Next
Week's Reflection
Jn
2:1-11
The Old Testament reading today
celebrates the “marriage” of
Israel with the Lord. In the gospel
reading, Jesus and his friends are taking
part in a wedding celebration at Cana.
Everyone is having a grand old time until
the wine runs out. Then Jesus, in what is
described as the first of his signs
(miracles), turns six jars of water into
choice wine! Everyone is astonished. But
turning the water used for Jewish rituals
into wine, Jesus gives God’s people a
sign that the Messiah has come. Later the
disciples would recognize Jesus as the
Bridegroom of the Church, the new people
of God.
1. What is our attitude toward
family celebrations—birthdays,
weddings, baptisms, or funerals?
2. How can we be more present to
these happy or sad times together?
3. How can we use them as occasions
to know one another better and to
encourage one another?
