HAPPY NEW YEAR! Today, we celebrate the Feast of the Epiphany of the Lord. The magi from the East relied on a single star as a sign that a king had been born. The heavens revealed to these learned foreigners that a matter of great import had occurred in Judea. Every Epiphany we hear the endless extent of God’s goodness. Isaiah joyfully foretells of the light that emerges from darkness at the coming of Christ. Saint Paul reminds his listeners that, whether Gentile or Jew, they are all a part of the one body of Christ—the Church. The magi from the East, in the Gospel, remind us that Christ, our Light, has come to dispel the darkness of sin and death and to remain with us forever.
