EPIPHAY OF THE LORD

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!

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
