FEAST OF THE EPIPHANY -They followed the star.
The Feast of the Epiphany like the Feast of the Holy Family is well placed at the dawn of the year. Jesus is shown to the nations.
God has come for all. Balthazar, Caspar and Melchior must have been very single minded.
We are told that they only saw the star at the beginning of their journey and near the end. It follows that most of their searching was done in darkness. They must have had to ask for
directions and trust the guidance of others. They must have been tempted to give-in, but they persevered and in the end, their reward was great. They encountered the Lord and found their hearts’ desire. The journey of the Wise Men is our journey too. Like them we have hitched our wagon to the star of Bethlehem. It is not always visible, but it is always there. We too must persevere and be humble enough to seek the support, advice and direction of fellow travellers as we move towards the light. May the Feast of the Epiphany bring us the wisdom of the Wise Men, the inner child of the infant Jesus and the light of God to guide our way
