The Star of Bethlehem
Jesus was born in the silence of a cold night, but in Heaven all was praise and glory: the Savior had been born. This joy was shared with the shepherds tending their flocks near Bethlehem and revealed to the Magi who came from the East, guided by the Star. Only a few were given this great news. This can lead us to reflect on God's work within us. For great things often happen in the silence of the heart and in the solitude of our journey. It is there that God's Love is revealed to us most fully, because everything that comes from Him goes to the heart and spirit, which then become capable of understanding and receiving. Love unfolds its graces and gifts in the heart that remains silent and still, away from noise, attentive to its powerful action.
The Epiphany is revealed to us profoundly when we allow God to visit us and illuminate us with the radiance of His Grace, which is bestowed upon us in every moment of our lives.
