(Last day of Christmas Season) Addressing a group of French pilgrims associated to the devo- tion of Divine Mercy, Pope Francis on Friday thanked them for their witness to the world of the joy of mercy.

Divine Mercy is a devotion to God’s infinite mercy that was promulgated by St. Faustina Kowalska in Poland, and later to the Universal Church by Pope St. John Paul II.

Reflection by — Saverio Grosso The Frist Epiphany

he word Epiphany means “manifestation” or “showing T forth.” Historically several moments in Christ’s early life and ministry have been celebrated as “epiphanies,” including his birth in Bethlehem, the visit of the Magi, his baptism by John, and his first miracle at Cana. In today’s Gospel, St. Matthew tells us that after Jesus’ birth, an event loaded with significance for the whole world took place. “Magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem,” looking for a king who had been recently born, the “king of the Jews.” Jesus was born in obscurity. Only the lowly shepherds recognized him at his birth. So, who were these wise men who found their way to Bethlehem to pay homage to the newborn King of Israel? They were not Israelites, but foreigners, so what were they looking for? The “magi” were likely astrologers, considered at that time to be “wise men” because of their lifelong commitment to studying the skies and finding meaning in the cosmos. They probably came from Persia, and they possibly were part of a school of wise men over which the Jewish prophet, Daniel, had been given authority. During the Exodus (about 1500 B.C.), as Israel was making her way back to the Promised Land from bondage in Egypt, one of the kings who felt threatened by their advance commissioned a “seer” to pro- nounce a curse on the Israelites. Instead, he was moved by God to bless them, and was given a prophecy about the Messiah: “I see Him, but not now; I behold Him, but not nigh: a star shall come forth out of Jacob, and a scepter shall rise out of Israel” (Num 24:17). So, hundreds of years after Daniel lived, the magi from the east, upon seeing an unusually bright star in the night sky, knew they needed to make the long trek to Jerusalem to pay homage to their newborn king. The proph- An Epiphany House Blessing ecy was being fulfilled! Gather the family in front of the main door of your house.
