The word Epiphany means “manifestaon” or “showing forth.” Christ is revealed as the Saviour, not just of the Jews but of all people, represented by these three Wise Men. We know very lile about the Magi or “Wise Men”. They come from the East and journey to Bethlehem, following a star, so we believe them to be astrologers. They are searching for an infant king and might have expected to find him in a palace. But their search takes them to a very unlikely place where they find the infant Jesus with his mother, Mary. We assume that there were three Magi based upon the naming of their three giſts, gold, frankincense and myrrh, but the Gospel does not say how many Magi paid homage to Jesus. When they found a very ordinary lile baby, they opened their treasures and laid them before him. In Mahew’s Gospel, they represent the Genles’ search for a saviour. Because the Magi represent the enre world, they also represent our search for Jesus. People somemes travel long distances in search of a spiritual experience, yet we do not have to go anywhere. His star rises up before us here. This feast invites us to do like the Wise Men and fall before the Lord in adoraon. It is a feast of mystery; the mystery of Christ who comes into our world to dispel the darkness. He is the light that no darkness can overpower. Let us praise and worship Him as the Magi did. Blessing of Babies: There will be a special blessing for babies who were bapsed during the past year on Sunday January 13th, the Feast of the Bapsm of the Lord. The blessing will be aſter the 10.30am Mass in Cill Mhuire and the 12.30pm Mass in St. Conleth’s Church.
