The shepherds have gone back to their fields, the angels have retreated to the depths of heaven, the inns are no longer full. We mortals have taken down our Christmas decorations, packed them into their boxes, and returned them to their appointed nook in the closet.
With a sigh we tuck this Christmas season into our memories.
The Magi, great astrologers from the East, knew the miraculous birth was only the beginning. They intuited that the new star which appeared in the heavens was the opening of a path to something beyond wonder. And they followed, not knowing what would await them. (See Matthew 2:1-12)
We, too, are invited to follow unquestioningly and courageously. God will set a light before us to lead us to a new kind of birth, and we will go home a different way.
Epiphany: The Lighted Path is a three-week study offered by The Wisdom Years. Each week includes readings, prayers, practices, and questions for reflection.
