The Magi's diligent search for and homage to Jesus calls us to do the same
by Renae Bauer
Whenever the Northern Lights are forecast to be visible here, the advice is the same: Find a dark location, away from light “pollution,” then give your eyes time to adjust to the darkness. This has me thinking about “seeing” or connecting with Jesus, our guiding star. To sense His presence, it helps to be away or take a break from the distractions of our daily lives. It helps to quiet ourselves so our hearing can adjust to Jesus’ frequency.
This weekend, as we hear about the Magi seeking the newborn king, may we, too, seek and be overjoyed by the Good News.
Reflection questions:
- What helps you to diligently search for Jesus?
- How does an encounter with Jesus change your route in life?
- Have you ever thought of the smaller stars in the sky as the saints lighting the way for the one true star, Jesus?
Well Done, Sister! I like it! Thanks for the thoughts!
