Episode 27: Seeing God’s Glory

Our modern culture has moved on! The Christmas season is over, decorations have been taken down, and stores are full of merchandise for football playoffs and Valentine’s Day. The Church, however, has a different message. The Christmas season continues with this week’s Gospel which tells us the story of Wise Men from the east who left behind home, family, and security to search for a king led by a star in the night sky. Even though our journey should be neither as long nor arduous as theirs, would we risk our homes, our safety, and our lives to search diligently for Jesus? And upon finding him, do we allow ourselves to be changed by the experience?

Gospel – Matthew 2: 1-12
1st Reading – Isaiah 60: 1-6
