he story of the Magi is so
colourful that we may overlook its
significance and fail to see its deeper
meaning. The wise men represent all
of us. Their journey hrough desert
and mountain following a star reflects our
search for a purpose and meaning in our own
life, which is not possible unless we are
guided by faith. Our faith helps us to see
beneath the surface of appearances. On this
feast of the Epiphany, the innocent new-born
child, who is surrounded by adoration,
wonder and mystery, wishes to draw us all
into his presence. story is always relevant
because God sees to it that people who really
search will find him. He will shed light into
our darkness and make us new. As the
Christmas season draws to a close with faded
holly and sagging decorations, the Epiphany
reminds us of our journeying into another
year following the individual path which we
alone tread. Life is a pilgrimage, a long
journey, but we need not necessarily travel
alone as we make our way towards heaven.
The Epiphany story concerns the many
varying circumstances of joy and sorrow in
which we encounter Christ in our daily
lives—at home, at work and recreation.. It
calls for us to look around and search for our
Lord who is always in our midst, in so many
of our ordinary situations. He comes in the
needs of many of the people we meet daily,
and in places and times we would least expect him to be. God stands in our very midst revealing himself and inviting us to enter his
company. Nothing is ever the same again for those who have discovered this Light. The responsibility we bear is to let the divine
Light within us shine through us to others, like the sun shining through a stained glass window. gospel of love, forgiveness and
redemption is something we are asked to practice in our every-day life. May Christ's Light lead us all safely through this new Year of
2012, and may he accompany us in all we do, and may we see him present in the poor, the needy, and indeed, in every situation.
