DI#41 The Epiphany of our Lord

"PRESENCE OF GOD - I recognize in You, O little Jesus, the King of heaven and earth; grant that I may adore You with the faith and love of the Magi."


"'Three miracles adorn this holy day' - three miracles which should lead us to recognize the Child Jesus as our God and King, and to adore Him with lively faith."

"They saw the star and immediately set out.  ...  A star often appears in the heaven of our souls ...  urging us to greater generosity and calling us to a life of closer union with Him.  ...  We should follow their [Magi] example and their perseverance, even when we are in interior darkness."

"...  the incense of prayer, the myrrh of mortification and of suffering borne with generosity out of love for You, and finally, the gold of charity, charity which will make my heart wholly and exclusively Yours, charity which will spur me on to work, to spend myself for the conversion of sinners and infidels, and for the greater sanctification of Your elect."
