LOOKING IN THE RIGHT PLACES ~ ~ ~ “Appearances can be deceiving,” as the saying goes. As we celebrate the epiphania, the “appearing” of the eternal Word of God on earth, this is still true. What rapturous foresight must have filled Isaiah as he wrote the words we hear today. How, for four hundred years, they must have filled the hearts of the people of Israel with hope for the day when God’s glory would shine on them. How deceived some must have felt when the glory of God came to them in the lowliest and humblest of human lives. We have many expectations about how the divine presence will appear among us. But we can also set ourselves up, through these expectations, to miss the divine glory when it truly appears. We get caught up in looking for the star, forgetting that the star is not the divine sign, the babe is. It may take a persistent journey for us to come upon the true appearance of God’s glory in our lives: Jesus Christ.
Reading 1 Rise up in splendor, Jerusalem! The Lord shines upon you and the glory of the Lord appears over you (Isaiah 60:1-6).
Psalm Lord, every nation on earth will adore you (Psalm 72).
Reading 2 The mystery has been made known that the Gentiles are coheirs, copartners in the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel (Ephesians 3:2-3a, 5-6).
Gospel Magi from the east arrived, saying, “Where is the newborn king of the Jews?” (Matthew 2:1-12).
Reading I The man said, “This one is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; this one shall be called ‘woman’” (Genisis 2:18-24). Psalm May the Lord bless us all the days of our lives (Psalm 128). Reading II He who consecrates and those who are being

“20 + C + M + B + 16.”
The letters C M B stand for Christus Mansionem Benedicat, Latin for “May Christ bless this house.” The letters also point to the names that tradition has assigned to the mysterious magi, Caspar, Melchior, and Balthasar—although scripture tells us nothing of their number, their country, or their names.
