The Magi Brought Gifts and Received the Greatest Gift!
Gifts are important items during Christmastide, but the gift that we receive needs to last us for the rest of our lives, Jesus! The Spirit of Christmas can be life changing if we allow the Meaning of Christmas to take us over.
The Magi travelled to find the source of light and was transformed by it. We read in St. Matthew’s Gospel:
When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy; and going into the house they saw the Child with Mary His Mother, and they fell down and worshiped Him. Then, opening their treasures, they offered Him gifts, gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.
Matthew 2:10-11
We join these Magi every day of our lives. May we bring whatever gift we have today to the Lord! May we be open to receive the gift that only this encounter can bring, the light of Christ!
May we carry Christmas with us all of our days!
Epiphany Blessings!
