MAGI: The Magi were Eastern astrologers who saw the rising of a new star and who interpreted as meaning that a king was born. Because of their curiosity and their pagan religious faith, they wanted to visit this king and bring him gifts. They could not have understood that the prompting to visit the new king was the grace of the Holy Spirit. Braving the difficulties and danger of travel, they followed the star and found the Christ Child. What unexpected action is the Holy Spirit prompting you to do? Do you have enough trust in God to say yes? Lord, You are always ready to guide me. But sometimes I don't want to go where You lead. Grant me the grace to trust in You and to follow. Amen.
