Faith Moment Reflection The Magi story in today’s gospel shows us how faithfully they followed God's lead, journeying from the East not by a map but by divine guidance of the shining star. Imagine that on your next trip. No GPS. No itinerary. No connecting flight. Just following a brilliant light along an uncertain journey. As Christians, we are the Magi today, following God's light, even when it takes us where we may not want to go. Like the Magi, our search for Christ leads us to new beginnings, often to unexpected places and unexpected persons. The Magi story also teaches us that God leads even in darkness, even when we have lost our way, and even when we encounter those who intend evil, as King Herod did in the gospel. We have only to do as the Magi: surrender ourselves to God's guidance. He will lead us to our destiny.

What is a Memorial Donation? Those who wish to remember a deceased friend or co-worker have two choices. You might request a mass card so that the sacrifice of the mass will be offered for the soul of the departed. Alternately you might decide to make a donation to the parish in the name of that person. When we receive a request for a memorial, we publish the name of the deceased and the donor in the bulletin.
