It is so wondrous that God sent His Son to redeem His people, and that this blessing spread out to all the world. (This Feast, like Pentecost, reminds me of World Youth Day, and seeing how the presence of God in the Church is real in people throughout the world.)
And it's amazing to see how the Magi saw the signs and responded by seeking the King so they could worship Him.
Furthermore, on this Christmas Season Feast, we celebrate how God went to great lengths to seek us, even to the point of becoming human. It is so worthwhile to embrace this God.
On this Feast, we are called anew to walk the path the Magi did to seek God where He is present to His people--just like people are seeking God at the FOCUS SEEK conference in the opening days of 2026. Just as the nations came to bring splendid gifts, as did the Magi and as is described in the reading from Isaiah 60, may we take the next step and offer God the gift of ourselves. From these encounters with God, may we go forth transformed to continue walking in God's glorious Light.
Indeed, every time we attend Mass, we experience the real Presence of God Who continues to offer Himself to us, and we are sent forth with something to carry into the world so that God may bless the world with His Presence in us.
