Today, with the Feast of the Epiphany, Christmastide comes to an end. I pray yours has been a time filled with the love and light of the Christ child. Our celebration culminates with the visit of the Magi to the Holy Family. Matthew tells of their following a great star and being overwhelmed with joy when the star stops at their appointed destination. He writes of their entering the house, seeing the child and his mother, kneeling down, paying him homage and offering their gifts of frankincense, gold, and myrrh (see Matthew 2:1-12). The story is filled with mystery, awe and wonder.
