Reflection for the Epiphany

The Epiphany of the Lord is the manifestation of Christ who is the light and salvation of God for all peoples.  God manifested the arrival of the true King to the Magi and they start a long and arduous journey to search for the Child.  Guided by the light of a star they found Him and adored Him.
The Magi embody all those who with hope and faith search for that light that can return the meaning to their lives. In other words, those who seek God. Faith is a constant search that requires crossing through darkness, as we encounter difficulties and abandon the comfort of our own thinking, in order to walk the extraordinary paths that lead to God.
The Magi were humble and simple individuals. They did not flaunt their human wisdom. Prostrated before a child like any other, they discovered in Him the Prince and Master of all wisdom. As a result, they opened their gifts, more importantly their hearts to the child. Their reward would be being filled with the divine mystery. They were able to find what others were incapable of finding: neither the prideful scribes, nor the ambitious Herod. Perhaps the Magi had a childlike heart, capable of dreaming and believing the incredible.
Like Herod, the arrogant who can’t lift their eyes to the skies, the short-sighted towards the manifestations of God, the hard-hearted and those who live in selfishness and ambition can never experience and celebrate the Epiphany. Because the Epiphany is radiance for those who know to lift their eyes to Heaven and don’t become hunched towards earthly things. The Magi knew how to read the message of God in the star and they searched for it in the darkness and became wisely deaf to the opinions of others, especially towards the poisonous interests of Herod.
Thus, dearly beloved, let us become manifestation of the God of love, hope and justice. Let us offer our Savior Jesus and our brethren the best of us: our heart, our life, and our time.  Hopefully, we can become like a star that guides, orients and shine over those who seek God.
