*We also ask that everyone please turn off
their cell phone or put them on silent so

Reflections
GOSPEL:
Matthew 2: 1-12
Today we celebrate the showing forth
(epiphany) of Jesus to the nations beyond
Israel. When astrologers, or magi, from
the East saw a new star appear in the sky,
they accepted it as a sign that a great
leader had been born. Without knowing
where the star would lead them or what
they would find, the magi set out bearing
gifts. Their faith and courage were
rewarded when God revealed to them his own
Son.
1.) On
our faith journeys, we, too, have to
remain alert for the signs through which
Jesus reveals his presence to us. His
“stars” are all around us in the
beauty of creation, in the Church, in the
arts and sciences, in the uniqueness of
each person. How will you be alert to the
“stars” around
you?
2.) How
can you let Jesus shine through
you?
