SUMMARY:Vigils Reading - Epiphany of the Lord
DESCRIPTION:IN SEARCH OF GOD \nFrom a commentary by St Leo the Great1 \n◊◊◊ \nDearly beloved\, the day on which Christ first showed himself to \nthe Gentiles as the Savior of the world should be held in holy reverence among \nus. We should experience in our hearts the same joy as the three wise men felt \nwhen the sign of the new star led them into the presence of the king of heaven \nand earth\, and they gazed in adoration upon the one in whose promised coming \nthey had put their faith. Although that day belongs to the past\, the power of the \nmystery which was then revealed has not passed away; we are not left with a \nmere report of bygone events\, to be received in faith and remembered with \nveneration. God’s bounty toward us has been multiplied\, so that even in our \nown times we daily experience the grace which belonged to those first \nbeginnings. \nThe gospel story specifically recalls the days when\, without any previous \nteaching from the prophets or instruction in the law\, three men came from the \nfar east in search of God; but we see the same thing taking place even more \nclearly and extensively in the enlightenment of all those whom God calls at the \npresent time. We see the fulfillment of that prophecy of Isaiah which says: The \nLord has bared his holy arm in the sight of all nations\, and the whole world \nhas seen the salvation that comes from the Lord our God. And again: Those \nwho have not been told about him shall see\, and those who have not heard shall \nunderstand. When we see people being led out of the abyss of error and called \nto knowledge of the true light\, people who\, far from professing faith in Jesus \nChrist\, have hitherto devoted themselves to worldly wisdom\, we can have no \ndoubt that the splendor of divine grace is at work. Whenever a shaft of light \nnewly pierces darkened hearts\, its source is the radiance of that same star\, \nwhich impresses the souls it touches by the miracle of its appearance and leads \nthem forward to worship God. \nIf on the other hand we earnestly ask ourselves whether the same \nthreefold oblation is made by all who come to Christ in faith\, shall we not \ndiscover a corresponding gift offering in the hearts of true believers? To \nacknowledge Christ’s universal sovereignty is in fact to bring out gold from the \ntreasury of one’s soul; to believe God’s only Son has made himself truly one with \nhuman nature is to offer myrrh\, and to declare that he is in no way inferior to \nhis Father in majesty is to worship him with frankincense. \n  \n1 Journey with the Fathers – Year B – New City Press – NY -1993 – pg 26-27.3 \n  \n
