† THE EPIPHANY OF THE LORD †

Simultaneous geographic and spiritual pilgrimages are evident in the epiphany story. The holy family was displaced, thus Jesus was born in Bethlehem. Then the magi travel from an eastern land with the guidance of the rising star to meet Jesus in a foreign place. What allowed these wise men, who were Zoroastrian practitioners not Jews, to recognize the light as belonging to Christ? This story of the epiphany, prompts us to consider our own epiphanies. Thomas Merton had a famous one, with which you might be familiar. He was walking down a sidewalk in Louis-ville, KY and suddenly his spiritual sight was transformed. In-side himself he noticed a love for everyone around him, and identified that though they were strangers, they were not alien. For Merton, illusory differences faded away, and were re-placed by an immense joy for being human. He wrote, “And if only everybody could realize this! But, it cannot be explained. There is no way of telling people that they are all walking around shining like the sun.” Both the magi and Merton overlook the superficial barriers that might prevent them from fully paying homage to the splendor of God at hand. Reflection: How often do I allow difference to hinder the hospi-tality I am called to show others, especially strangers? Which type of difference do I have the hardest time overcoming?
