Epiphany means, the Lord's manifestation to the whole world. The Magi’s namely Melchor, Gaspar and Balthazar represent the peoples of all languages ​​and nations who set out, called by God, to worship Jesus. The feast is usually celebrated on January 6, the Feast of Three Kings, that is, twelve days after Christmas.

What is the invitation of this celebration? Epiphany reminds us that we must strive by all means to lead all of our friends and family to encounter and know Jesus.

The Magi, following the star, find the place where the Savior was with Mary and Joseph. And they returned to their regions in another way. Whoever meets Jesus Christ changes his path. A new way, the way of Jesus Christ. Finding God in the child transforms people's lives. Thus, the Magi’s did not longer return to Herod but they returned to their respective regions using a different route.

It is important to follow the star that will land where Jesus Christ is. The Magi followed the star. They did not doubt it, because their faith was firm and solid. They did not flinch at the fatigue of such a long and uncertain journey because their hearts were generous. They did not postpone the trip because they had a determined soul to meet the true king. One important lesson that we can learn from the Magi is the virtue of perseverance. Even during the time that the star was hidden from their eyes they continued to look for the Child. We too must persevere in the practice of good works, even during the darkest interior darkness. It is the test of the spirit, which can only be overcome in an intense exercise of faith.

May the Feast of Epiphany allow us to be guided by the star, to be illuminated by it, so that we can become stars that light and guide others to find Jesus.
