The wise men found their way to Jesus, the promised Messiah through a star which they had observed in the skies. How can this make sense to us today? Are the horoscopes the way to find our destinies? Certainly not, because no one can predict what exactly will happen tomorrow or next year. What we can make are simply educated and informed guesses.
What is it that will lead us to Jesus today, in the absence of a big bright star in the sky? Perhaps it could be the star of our dreams, the deepest dream which we cherish deep within our hearts...
...the dream of a better life for our families, not just material satisfaction, but unity, understanding, love
... the dream of a better life for our country, not judt economic stability, but peace, honesty, integrity
... the dream of a better world, not just the absence of war, but solidarity among peoples...
These are our dreams, our stars, which will lead us to Jesus, not when we have achieved them, but even as we work towards the realization of these dreams.
Happy Epiphany!
