Epiphany of the Lord
The Feast of Epiphany is a reflection of
the Light. Through the Birth of Jesus, we see the arrival of the Light in
the world. The three wise men followed the brilliant star in the sky. To
them, the light of the star was a symbol of hope, of joy and of peace. To them,
the star was but a small reflection of the fullness of the Light of the world
that awaited them at the end of their journey. Through the Magi, we see the
light of hope, of joy and of peace to come.
As we celebrate this feast let us reflect
upon Christ the light of the world. As he did to the Magi God shows the stars
to us and we might ask ourselves, what are the stars in our lives? The
same star of faith and hope will also lead us to Jesus our King and Lord.
