Devotion
Every morning we look to the east to see the sun rise. The wise men came from the east looking for the Son, hardly knowing what they were looking for. We know what they were seeking because we too have found him by whom the sun and moon, east and west, space and time were created. We rejoice that Jesus, the Son of God, outshines the sun and will outlast it.
Prayer
Dear Jesus, thank you for having revealed yourself to the wise men in a star, to the apostle Paul in your brighter-than-the-sun glory, and each of us in our own way.
