ECCLESIOLOGICAL ETCHINGS
January 6, 2025
The Magi have made the journey
They’ve made their appearance
They’ve offered their homage
They’ve shared their gifts
They return by a different route
Returned as different people
Forever changed
Unreservedly awe-struck
Holy One of celestial signs and wonders
Continue to invite us onto the journey
Provide partners
Fellow travelers
Companions
Encouragers
Bring us into your presence
Born to a simple family
With a doting father
With a faithful mother
Bring us into your presence
Born into an unexpected place
With an extraordinary love
With kindness and gentleness
Because of our journey
We shall return as different people
Forever changed
Unreservedly awe-struck
With gratitude and joy
We end our prayer with amen.
