As the Church celebrated the Solemnity of the Epiphany of the Lord on Friday, Pope Francis presided over Mass in St. Peter’s Basilica, and reflected on the journey of the Magi.
A probing mind, added Pope Francis, challenges us to yearn for the infinite and set out on a “quest for the transcendent that inspires the progress of civilizations”. “Often we try to soothe our hearts with creature comforts. If the Magi had done that, they would never have encountered the Lord. God, however, is always there within our restless questioning.”The second place we can encounter the Lord is in “the risk of journeying”, since every pilgrimage entails real risks that must be overcome to arrive at our destination.
Personal devotion and even consistent Mass attendance are not enough to allow our faith to grow. “We need to bring it outside and to live it in a constant journey towards God and towards our brothers and sisters,” he said.The third and final stage on our journey of faith, said the Pope, winds up in the “wonder of worship.”
