Epiphany of the Lord

The wise men followed the star of Bethlehem hoping that it would lead them to the Messiah.
The Epiphany is a story of seekers.
A genuine seeker is relentless in the quest.
If we search with open hearts we too will find the peace of Jesus and his presence in our lives will help us be a light to others.
