Thanks Anchoress for posting this! This is one of my favorites! As we remember the Epiphany it is important to remember what the day is calling us to! The following is from a homily from Msgr. Charles Pope:There are so many wonderful details in the Epiphany story that we may lose the essential message which is: Conversion. Now the Latin word from which we get “conversion” is conversio which means “a turning around.” Hence we see the concluding effect of the Magi’s visit to the Lord is that they “return to their country by another route.” To authentically encounter the Lord is to experience conversion. All the elements of this story serve ultimately to lead them to this conversion. Perhaps we can look at the details and stages of how they come to a saving faith and are able to live differently.
