"We [The Magi] saw the star at its rising and have come to do him homage." (Matthew 2: 2).
Today is the Solemnity of the the Epiphany. The star called forth the three Wise Men from the East to follow the star and they found and recognized the infant Jesus as Son of God and King of the Universe. Every day, the star of freedom beckons men and women from everywhere to America, God's own country to their idea of paradise.
Where is your star pointing to? Is it pointing to the Child Jesus born in poverty in a stable? Or is it pointing to “Babylon the great, the mother of harlots and of the abominations of the earth.” (Revelation 17: 5).
"They [Magi] were overjoyed at seeing the star, and on entering the house they saw the child with Mary his mother."
(Matthew 2: 10 - 11).
Consider this for a moment: These 3 kings and scientists were able to recognize the Infant Jesus in such an unlikely environment. How could this be when 2000 years after His birth, not everyone on earth has bent the knee at the Name of Jesus?
You that acknowledge Jesus as Lord and King, follow the example of the Magi:
"They prostrated themselves and did him homage. Then they opened their treasures and offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh." (Matthew 2: 11).
"Lord, every nation on earth will adore you." (Cf Psalm 72).
