| The wise men from the East searched for the infant Jesus |
Pope Francis celebrated Mass on Tuesday in St.
Peter’s Basilica to mark the Solemnity of the Epiphany of the Lord. Epiphany is the
manifestation of our Lord to the whole world, which is represented by the Magi, who journeyed from the East to search for the newborn
Christ.
In his homily, Pope Francis reflected on
Jesus, who is for all. Jesus is for all. “That child, the Pope said, born in
Bethlehem of the Virgin Mary, came not only for the people of Israel,
represented by the shepherds of Bethlehem, but also for all humanity,
represented today by the wise men from the East.”
He heavily reflected on the Magi and call on
the faithful to imitate them. “The wise men serve as our models. The wise men
point out to us the path of our journey through life. They sought the
true Light. They set out in search of God. The wise men are thus models
of conversion to the true faith, since they believed more in the goodness of
God than in the apparent splendor of power.”
