Be Like the Magi

Facts of Life

Register contributor Katie Warner blogged about the Magi at IntegratedCatholicLife.org this month:

“They have this lesson for living to teach us: watchfulness,” Warner wrote in “The Magi: Watchfulness and Action.”

“The Magi had a desire to know truth and were watchful for God’s presence and for his plan, for a spiritual lesson to glean from their attentiveness to his movements in time and in their lives. That watchfulness opened the door for them to come face-to-face with the Savior. …

“Their second lesson is related to the first: action.

“The Magi didn’t just see the star of Bethlehem and say, ‘How nice.’ They got up, and they followed it!”

Happy Epiphany!
