Open your heart to the new day that you begin. The Magi from the East went to Bethlehem, without considering their different beliefs. They were united in a common “star” that allowed them to adore Jesus. It allowed them to return to their place of origin, transformed and on a new path. “For we saw his star in the East and we have come to worship him” (Matthew 2:1-12). Put aside differences and focus on what unites you to your neighbor
Last month this was sent to me: The Magis first experience was the encounter with the spirit …. for clarity and accompaniment ….
It’s quite interesting that the Magi’s reflections accidentally came to me from different sources. I have learnt many perspectives from them apart from their determination I learnt long time ago

The Magi
God often uses those things most familiar to us that are part of our daily life to send forth His calling. Recall, for example, that many of the Apostles were fishermen, and Jesus used their occupation to call them, making them “fishers of men.” He especially used the miraculous catch of fish to clearly indicate to them that they had a new calling.
This reflection sent me on Sunday can be seen in the Epiphany. God used a special language to speak to the Magi by the bright star which was only understood and seen by them.
I learnt that God’s call to people will be according to their knowledge or education … culture… value and lifestyle … jobs …
He calls all of us and his greatest desire is to be with us
I really love the story of the Magi because I learnt many interesting things about them last Sunday
I really want to ask the Magi whether they were disappointed when they found Jesus, Mary and Joseph.
It seems I got the answer: able to “see” beyond appearance. With Saint Paul, then, let us “look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen; for the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal” (2 Cor 4:18).
But what did the Magi actually see? They saw a poor child and his mother. Yet these wise men from far-off lands were able to look beyond those lowly surroundings and recognize in that Child a royal presence. They were able to “see” beyond appearances. Falling to their knees before the Babe of Bethlehem, they expressed a worship that was above all interior: the opening of the treasures they had brought as gifts symbolized the offering of their own hearts”
