Wise men show that heaven is for everyone

Epiphany of the Lord, Jan. 2, 2010
Fr. Hilary Mahaney
Gospel: Matt. 2:1-12.
Wise men’s visit to Bethlehem
(Sorry, no audio)

Summary: The wise men came from non-Jewish nations, and this shows that everyone is called to heaven, not just the Jewish nation. God has called us to be his instruments. He needs people to say “yes” to Him. Vatican Council II teaches that Baptism is a vocation, and with it comes mission. The early Christians spread the faith. That goes for us, too, whether we are in a trade, profession, whether we are a homemaker, or whatever.

Marriage and the family are the foundation of society. God is counting on us to keep the star of Bethlehem alive in our lives. We find Christ in the sacraments of Penance and the Eucharist, and in prayer. Let  us entrust ourselves to Mary, who will lead us to Christ.
