READINGS FOR THE WEEK OF JANUARY 6, 2019
The Epiphany of the Lord
"Behold, magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem, saying 'Where is the
newborn king of the Jews? We saw his star at its rising and have come to
do him homage.'" How strange to journey so far for perhaps so little. Of
course the magi go to the capitol city. Of course they entreat with King
Herod. Of course this is where they expect newborn royalty to be. But
where is the child? "In Bethlehem of Judea," the scribes say. And so the
magi go on to what is yet another Christmas miracle.
We don't know where the magi met the Christ Child, but it cannot have
been lavish. Perhaps it was the stable. Perhaps it was a small hovel Joseph
had found to wait out the census. But it would have been the home of a
laborer, worn and threadbare. Here, in this unassuming abode, the magi are
still "overjoyed...they prostrated themselves and did him homage."
Have you ever gotten to the end of a great work and found the results to
be underwhelming? How did you respond? Were you disappointed or
elated at God's providence and your upended expectations? The magi
journeyed hundreds of miles over treacherous terrain to pay homage to
royalty they have seen prophesied in the stars. They encountered an
ordinary family displaced from their home. This Sunday, the magi are an
example for us. Can we see God in the unexpected? Do we encounter Him
in the person who doesn't fit our expectations of propriety? Do we revere
Christ's presence in the poor? Or do we expect to meet God only in places
of honor and esteem? This week, ask God for the grace to honor Him in the
unexpected places and unassuming people. He is waiting for you!
