The Epiphany of the Lord
First reading – Isaiah 60:1-6
“Lift up your eyes and look round:”. The glory of the Lord is rising on you, though night still covers the earth and darkness the peoples. With incarnation, the salvation is there. The light is there. Though the night still covers the earth and darkness the people. The visit of Magi are the sign that the Savior is not only for the elected people but to the entire world. The birth of Jesus Christ transforms the concept of elected people to the entire people of the world. The world is redeemed by Jesus Christ. But many times, we have the question because we see only the night that still covers the earth and darkness. We don’t lift up our and look round. The Word of God is asking two moments, to rise above the human level, “lift up your eyes”. It’s easy to see things in a human level and to see in a depressive way. But when you look things in a divine way, the realities appear different. Beyond the night that still covers the earth and darkness the people, you will see the glory of the Lord that is rising. Let’s reflect: can I see beyond the darkness the glory of the Lord?
