“The Magi didn’t have a smooth trip, but they had resources to fall back on. They had each other. They had a star. They arrived in Jerusalem, and the scribes and chief priests helped them to locate Bethlehem as the place where they should go. The journey we all take to the Lord is a long one......we’re on that journey our whole life. What about people who don’t have resources to fall back on during this journey? This is what the Church is meant to be - the people and the resources that help us journey to the Lord.” The Little Blue Book, 2021-2022, Epiphany of the Lord. Reflection: Do I understand that I have been baptized (commissioned) as a disciple in the Church to help people - anyway I can - on their journey to the Lord? Reflection by Helen Collins.
