Text Reflection - January 4, 2015
The Epiphany of the Lord
"They departed for their country by another way." Things were
different now. An encounter with the baby Jesus changed the Magi. Before finding the child, they had made a secret alliance with a
worldly king, Herod. But after seeing this infant resting in the
arms of Mary, their allegiance shifted. Now they became servants
of the little Lord Jesus. They had a kind of conversion through
their encounter with Christ, and they knew that they could no
longer serve the whims of a wicked ruler.
We call this Sunday "Epiphany" because that's what the three
wise men had: an epiphany, a moment of realizing the truth about
God. In this moment these three men--kings that they were-"prostrated themselves and did homage" to the King of Kings.
Then they went home by a different route, undoubtedly as different men. Now, their own authority as worldly leaders took on a
new character. Now, they were men who served a power greater
than themselves. As it was prophesied in the Old Testament reading from Isaiah, even kings would walk by the "shining radiance"
of the Lord.
Let us ask ourselves today how the Epiphany of the Lord can redirect us. What worldly allegiances have we made that need to be
changed? Are we servants of our neighbors' good opinion or of
the power of money? Are we secretly aligned with popularity or
prestige? No matter what "rules" our hearts, we are invited to
change our direction. We are invited to encounter the little Lord
Jesus and offer ourselves to his gentle and loving guidance. After
all, his is a kingship of concern for us. As today's psalm says, this
King "shall rescue the poor when he cries out, and the afflicted
when he has no one to help him."
They were overjoyed at seeing
the star, and on entering the
house they saw the child with
Mary his mother. They prostrated themselves and did him
homage. Then they opened
their treasures and offered him
gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. - Mt 2:10-11
