When people in the entertainment industry reach a top level of fame and expertise in their profession, we talk about them as hav- ing a lot of star power. These are the men and women who eclipse lesser lights in the entertainment constellation. No matter the gen- eration, there are always names like Monroe, Taylor, Burton, Olivier, McCartney, Springsteen, Madonna, Hanks, Streep, or Sarandon who will shine brighter than others who will also have their name in- scribed on the Walk of Fame. Stars at this level of their craft can ba- sically ask for whatever they want because they are sought after by just about everyone. Their performances, whether a live concert or on the screen, have the ability to unite people in a common experi- ence. The real "star" of Matthew's Gospel today is not the one that appears in the sky to the Magi. Yes, that star is an important sign-it led the Magi from the east to Jerusalem where they learned of the prophecy about Bethlehem. That star led them to the home of the Child they would worship. This Child is the real star of the Gospel story. He comes into the world. In the midst of conflict and division, exemplified by Herod's distrust and fear, Jesus comes as the new- born king to save his people from their sins. As Matthew tells it, Jesus is the One who unites faithful Jew and believing Gentile bringing together all those who would seek the truth and follow his teaching. The feast of the Epiphany celebrates the manifestation of Christ to the world. His revelation means that people must choose whether to follow him or not. Herod had that choice. So did the Magi. Men and women from every race and nation come to Christ. Once they choose to follow Christ, they become brothers and sisters of one another. Christ unites all believers in a common experience, his call to love. That's star power beyond imagining! 2640 STONEY RIDGE ROAD AVON, OHIO 44011

They were overjoyed at seeing the star, and on enter- ing the house they saw the child with Mary his mother. They prostrated themselves and did him homage. Then they opened their treasures and of- fered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. - Mt 2:10-11
