On the Feast of the Epiphany, Fr. Mark Toups reflects on the revelation of God made visible in Jesus Christ. As the Magi journey to Bethlehem, they represent all of humanity being invited to kneel before the newborn King. Through prayerful imagination, Fr. Toups invites us to join them, offering not gold or frankincense, but the gift of our hearts to Christ at the start of this new year.
As you reflect on the meaning of Epiphany as “revelation,” how do you sense God revealing Himself to you in this season of your life?The Magi represent all of humanity being drawn to Christ—how do you see yourself in their journey of seeking and bowing before Jesus?At the start of this new year, what does it mean for you personally that “all He wants is your heart”?If you gave Jesus just a little more permission in your daily life, what do you imagine could change in your relationship with Him by this time next year?
