The Solemnity of the Epiphany of the Lord



Readings: Isaiah 60: 1-6; Ephesians 3: 2-3a. 5-6; Matthew 2: 1-12

Selected Passage: “They were overjoyed at seeing the star, and on entering the house they saw the child with Mary his mother. They prostrated themselves and did him homage.  Then they opened their treasures and offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.”  (Matthew 2: 10-11)

Meditation: This feast celebrates the manifestation of the Lord to the Magi. They saw his star and followed it until they saw the child. They recognized in the Child - the Savior awaited by the whole creation.  We, too, need to see his star, today, and follow it in our daily journey until we recognize the manifestation or the Epiphany of God in our lives. Yes, his star continues to shine, but we need a discerning eyes and a heart attune to God so that we, too, one day, will find him and pay him homage. www.badaliyya.blogspot.com
