As I mentioned yesterday, the Wise Men and shepherds who’ve come to the manger and experienced the epiphany have agreed to stick around a little longer this year. It’s probably good to quarantine a bit longer before their return home given the COVID pandemic.

Today the Magi offer us this wisdom, no doubt influenced by the events we witnessed in our nation’s capitol yesterday.

“There was no mob at the manger. The celestial starlit journey to the manger is one driven by the heart. It’s not a journey commenced out of fear, nor anger, nor vengeance, nor conquering another. The heart draws one to humbly look up and follow the star in awe and wonder.” — The Magi
