Reflections
GOSPEL:
Matthew 2:1-12
The story of the
astrologers, or magi, following the light
of a distant star is full of surprises.
The astrologers, who were Gentiles, were
the first to worship Jesus as the newborn
King of the Jews. They found him, not in a
palace surrounded by signs of wealth and
might, but as a helpless baby in the arms
of Mary, his mother. Yet the astrologers
believed and worshiped him, offering him
gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
Then, Matthew tells us, full of joy and
wonder, they returned to their distant
homes.
The astrologers had the faith and
wisdom to see in this baby the promised
Messiah. Christ shows himself to us, too,
and comes into our lives in many ways and
through many people. If we are people of
faith, we will find him in these little
“epiphanies.” We will offer him
our own gifts our prayers and worship, our
loving service of others, and our constant
faith, even when it might seem hard to
find him.
1.) Reflect on some of the
“little epiphanies” in your
life. Share that with others.
