Epiphany
Reflection
“For by gold the power of a king is signified, by frankincense the honor of God, by myrrh the burial of the body; and accordingly they offer Him gold as King, frankincense as God, myrrh as Man.” ~St John Chrysostom
Prayer
Faithful God,
Upon hearing about the birth of your Son, Jesus, the three kings journeyed from the east to offer homage and gifts to the true King. Trusting in the star to guide them, their unwavering faith led them to Bethlehem, right to where the Christ child lay. May our faith be strengthened by their example, and may we follow your guidance in our lives, knowing that you will lead us to Christ through all those we encounter each day. Humbly, we pray. Amen.
