Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Today we celebrate the Epiphany of the Lord, the moment when Christ is revealed to the nations. In the Gospel for Year A (Matthew 2:1–12), the Magi travel far beyond their familiar world, guided only by a star and a deep longing for truth. Their journey reminds us that God’s light often appears quietly, inviting us to take the next faithful step even when the path ahead feels uncertain.

The Magi’s gifts—gold, frankincense, and myrrh—express who Jesus truly is: King, God, and Savior. But perhaps their greatest gift is the witness of their seeking hearts. They show us that faith grows when we are willing to look for God’s presence in unexpected places and allow His guidance to redirect our lives.

As we honor this beautiful solemnity, we are invited to follow the light of Christ with renewed hope. May His truth shine into the corners of our lives, and may we carry that light to others through kindness, courage, and love.

May the star of faith lead us ever closer to the Lord who reveals Himself to all people.

Love,

Fr. Jason
