In today's gospel the Magi encounter God in four different ways: the stars (science), prophecy (Scripture), Jesus (Word made flesh) and a dream (private revelation). God is unveiled for them and they return home filled with joy not needing to retrace the footsteps of the past. In the holy Eucharist we encounter Jesus Christ in four different presences: the Word, the people, the priest and the Blessed Sacrament. In these seemingly normal and everyday phenomena is God unveiled for us? Do we recognize that every time we come to Mass there is a revelations of the God's love and plan for us? If only we are ready, like the Magi, to search for it and to have our eyes opened! Then we too will know their joy, offer our Lord true worship with the gifts at our disposal and continue on our journey of love in new and exciting paths.
