Homage to the Savior of All Nations
Epiphany is the manifestation/revelation of Jesus as the King/Savior not only of the Jews, but of all human beings. Today’s feast reminds us that God loves all nations of the earth, and that He communicates with us not only through His Word, but also in many, often unforeseen ways: through internal inspirations, through external events, and through people.
Many times these factors are combined in an interplay that becomes clear only in hindsight. The challenge is for us to “decipher” God’s message and respond to it with faith, persevering generosity and courage, just as the Magi did.
As we celebrate the feast of the Epiphany, let us pray also for peace among all the peoples of the world and all those who are working hard to bring about harmony and cooperation among all human beings.
