The Epiphany of Our Lord

The verse at the Gradual of the Mass continues the story of the Magi: "We have seen His star in the East and are come with gifts to adore Him." They saw the star and immediately set out. They had no doubts: their unbounded faith was strong and sure. They did not hesitate at the prospect of the trials of a long journey: they had generous hearts. They did not postpone the journey: their souls were ready. (Divine Intimacy)

Lord, you know I lack discipline and tend toward laziness. You know I put necessary things off in favor of pleasant things. Help me. Give me grace and promptness. You've revealed your heavenly star in my soul, and I see it. Do not let me postpone my journey toward it's eternal Splendor. Let me not delay.

Happy Feast, Everyone!
