EPIPHANY OF THE LORD; THREE KINGS

/ From the Pastor, Parish Life / By

Today we celebrate the Epiphany of the Lord. This is the Solemnity when God reveals His deity to us and to the whole World.

We see this incredible scene in the picture of three Magi who were seek God and they found him in the form of the small baby in the manger in Bethlehem.

This behavior of that three wise men which in the polish tradition we call them Kacper, Melchior and Baltasar is very close to every person who wants to find Jesus Christ in his or her own life.

Therefore, in the polish tradition we mark the door of our home with their names to remember that every step out is for the finding our Lord Jesus Christ on the way through our own lives.

The Eucharist which we now celebrate is like the rest plaza on our journey to haven where we see our goal – Jesus Christ Super Star /and after the Holy Mass we try to bring him into effect by the commandment of the love to each of our neighbors.

“They prostrated themselves and did him homage.”

One Main Point

THE REVELATION OF GOD TO THE WORLD.
The Magi from around the world search for Jesus and pay him homage, while Herod only pretends to do so. At the beginning of the Gospel, these Gentile Astrologers point to the conclusion of the Gospel, when the disciples pay Jesus homage, and Jesus told them to “make disciples of all the Gentiles.” (28:17-20)

Reflections

By what signs do I recognize Jesus? How do I feel when I recognize these signs? Then what do I do?
