FEAST OF THE EPIPHANY
OF THE LORD
This feast touches me deeply. This is the feast of
the epiphany - the showing or manifestation - of
Jesus to the rest of the world. The promises of
God to the people of the first covenant always
included the promise that their special and gifted
relationship with God would extend to the ends
of the earth. No one could have imagined how
that would happen.
We all love the Nativity story through the eyes of
Luke. This story, through the eyes of Matthew,
introduces us to Magi - astrologer types, who are
really seers, or "wise men" in the sense that they
are seeking wisdom with open minds and hearts.
They are clearly non-Jews. They follow what
catches their attention and learn from it. And,
we are introduced to the first Herod - the bad
leader, who is the father of the Herod we will
meet in the Passion story.
The Magi pay attention to the stars and when
they see something special, they sense there is
meaning in that event. Too often we aren't that
open to see a new light, a new message, a clear
call, to pay attention. The Magi follow the light.
Their following leads them to an encounter with
Herod. Their consulting with him leads them to
Bethlehem, where the light has settled. We
sometimes fail to consult the tradition and learn
where to go to find the light. Unfortunately, the
Herod they meet is also very duplicitous. He's
two-faced, with a divided, selfish, jealous heart.
He isn't interested in finding the new light. He
wants to surpress it - to destroy it. At times, we
are guilty of duplicity ourselves - or at least our
hearts can be divided. We want to follow, but we
are something threatened or fearful of losing
something we want to hold on to. At our worst,
we can even surpress or destroy the light.

The Magi find the Holy Family. They come
prepared to do this newborn homage. They
bring gifts for a king, for a God, for someone who
will suffer. They thought about this. Too often,
we don't come to this invitation to see the light
with any gifts which represent our faith. And, so
we don't proclaim with our lives that we believe
Jesus is our Lord and God, that he is the one
who, in this gospel story, will die for our sins. We
can only imagine what Mary and Joseph
experienced in this revelation to those far away
Magi and to the gifts they bring to honor this
child of theirs.
The wise Magi have it revealed to them not to go
back to Herod to report that they found the
newborn king. Even without help, they must
have sensed Herod's insincerity - and the danger
that was hidden behind his pseudo piety. They
went back home by a different route - so often
the result of a transformative experience. Our
encounter with Jesus these days - with the light
he shines into our darkness - can lead us to
continue on our life journey by a different and
new path.
When we seek, find and honor Jesus' gift to us,
our gratitude fills us with joy. And, that joy, and
our way home, is different. It is new. It is
renewed with a deep trust that God is with us.
God can redeem, bring mercy and healing,
reconciliation and redemption, to every evil light to every darkness.
This year's epiphany of his many mercies to us in the beginning of the Year of Mercy - can help
guide us for the rest of our journey. How blessed
our life can be because it has been made known
to us that there is a light for our darkness! In the
midst of the "thick clouds" covering us - our
family and friends; our countries; our world "the Lord shines."
