Have the Courage to Follow the Star

When the magi saw the star, they had to courage to follow it, to engage in the journey without knowing where it would lead them. In Bethlehem, God was manifested in the flesh of Christ to them, and through the magi, to all of the world. Where will we find God today? We'll find God when we share our lives with those who are abandoned. God is manifested to us through their stories and their experiences, just like the star led the magi to a family who's poor and abandoned. A star has led you to Christ. Now you are a star to lead others to Christ. -Sunday Homily by Fr. Gerard Louis, C.Ss.R. (7 January 2024)
