A Courageous Journey in the Night
Today, we celebrate the Feast of the Epiphany of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and the end of Christmastide. One of the oldest feasts in the liturgical year, the Epiphany celebrates God’s ongoing revelation of Christ to the world. In New Orleans at the Rosary, our gates opened this morning on both campuses to the influx of backpacks and King Cakes from Rouse’s, Haydel’s and Gambino’s to welcome the beginning of this season. With the delicious taste of sugar-coated brioche breads, we “taste and see the goodness of the Lord.” (Ps. 34:8)
With the second half of the school year beginning with the paradigmatic story of three well-educated persons of stature who journeyed in the night undeterred by darkness and following only the light of a star to find Jesus, we could pause for a few moments to ask, “For whom or what would we make such a journey? What gifts would we bring to Jesus? …to one another? ….to the world? How might we share those gifts in our school, at home and in our community of the Sacred Heart in the months ahead?”
The courageous journey of the “wise men” reminds me of our school theme as we continue on our path this year to “shape our story into a magnificent tale of triumph, of healing, of courage, of beauty, of wisdom, of power, of dignity, of love.” (Mother Janet Erskine Stuart). I pray that we each discover God’s heart in our world and be guided by the revelation of its light in the months ahead.
