As we look to the story of the Epiphany, let us remember who called, guided, and revealed Himself to the Magi: God. The story was God-driven from the first verse. Let us not forget God Himself calls us from the surface experience of daily living to seek something higher, something better. He is the one who turns us from those who expect experience into those who receive grace, pure gift, at every turn. In God, we find someone to give our hearts, our minds, and our lives to. We find the goal of our quest.

When have you searched for the Lord? When has that search encountered roadblocks or deception or wrong turns? How has God kept you on track? ... See MoreSee Less

The month of January is traditionally dedicated to the Holy Name of Jesus. After the Blessed Virgin Mary conceived by the Holy Spirit, the angel Gabriel appeared to St. Joseph and told him that the Child’s name should be called Jesus, meaning “God Saves.” According to Jewish law, on the 8th day after his birth a male child was to be circumcised, receive his name, and become a full member of God’s covenant people. According to the old Roman liturgical calendar, the Feast of the Circumcision of Jesus was celebrated on January 1, eight days after Christmas, the same day that He was given His sacred name. Currently we celebrate the Solemnity of the Mother of God on January 1 and honor the Holy Name of Jesus on January 3. For Catholics, Jesus’ sacred name is the object of a special devotion symbolized by the monogram “IHS,” (sometimes called a Christogram), which is the first three letters of the Greek spelling of His name. ...

Our culture of ever faster change cries out for stability, but we cannot resist the change. Our challenge is to act like Elizabeth; in wisdom, we are to embrace the good of the change and act as bridges of the new. Yet, we are to be like Mary and bring Christ into an insecure world that needs faith.

How can you use wisdom this week to make judgments about the new and the old? As this year ends, what do you need to conserve in your life? What do you need to renew? ... See MoreSee Less
