Jesus, light of the world

The Epiphany of the Lord is a significant feast day in the Christian calendar that commemorates the visit of the Magi, also known as the Three Wise Men, to the baby Jesus.

The feast of the Epiphany of the Lord reminds us of the universal significance of Jesus Christ. The visit of the Magi, those wise and noble men from the East, is a powerful symbol of the revelation of Jesus as the Light of the World.
The Magi, guided by the star, represent the nations of the world, seeking the truth and the light. They embody the universal human desire for meaning, purpose, and connection with the divine. And when they finally find Jesus, they worship him, offering gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
Their worship is a recognition of Jesus’ divinity and his role as the King of Kings. It’s a declaration that Jesus is not just a local or national phenomenon but a universal reality, meant for all people, regardless of their background, culture, or social status.

The Epiphany reminds us that Jesus is the Light that shines in the darkness, guiding us on our journey through life. He is the Star that shines brightly, illuminating our path and leading us to the Father.
The Epiphany of the Lord is an invitation to us to join the Magi on their journey, to seek the Light of Christ, and to worship him with all our hearts. May we, like the Magi, be guided by the star of faith, and may we, like them, find our true treasure in Jesus Christ.

May we be the stars that shine brightly in the darkness, guiding others to the truth and the light. And may we, like the Magi, worship Jesus with all our hearts, offering him the gifts of our love, our devotion, and our lives.
