The Epiphany of the Lord – Mass of the Day
Gospel – Matthew 2:1-12
Jesus is born in the humblest circumstances, but He is the second person of Trinity. The Wise men around the world recognized it and they are looking for Him. They are looking for Him in the place the human categories will indicate. He is the King of kings and so logically the wise men went looking Him in the palace. But He is not King like other kings. The human logic does not function here. The inspiration of the wise men is right, but the mental structure is not fit for the search of this King. They felt the divine presence on earth, but they searched Him with mundane logic. God is with us, transcending every human logic. This is what we must understand with the incarnation. The incarnation of God transcends every human logic. That is why the wise men after meeting the infant Jesus had to leave to their own country by a different way. A way that transcends the human logic and normal thinking. Let’s reflect: The incarnation of the second person of the Holy Trinity leads us to a different level of thinking that transcends all human logic.
