This is the movement of the Holy Family.

Welcome to our daily Rosary meditation.

Let's begin in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

Let's call to mind all those we've promised to pray for. Even though the official feast of epiphany is

January 6th, we celebrate it today.

After Jesus was born in Bethlehem, Wiseman came to Jerusalem asking,

Where is the infant king of the Jews?

We saw his star as it rose and have come to do him homage.

When King Herod heard this, he was troubled, and so was the whole of Jerusalem.

And having listened to what the king had to say, they set out, and there in front of them was the star they had seen rising. It went forward and halted over the place where the child was.

The sight of the star filled them with the light and going into the house they saw the child

with his mother Mary and falling to their knees they did

him homage. Then opening their treasures they offered him gifts of gold, frankincense

and murr.

But they were warned in a dream not to go back to Herod and return to their country

by a different way.

The wise men show forth two great virtues in their pursuit of the Christ child, courage and magnanimity. Courage is the willingness Courage and

courage is the willingness to sacrifice what is lesser for the sake of what is greater. They left behind the comfort and safety of their homeland to seek Christ, and when they found

him they abandoned their treasures to him.

And the wise men were magnanimous.

Magnanimity is to desire and strive after the greatness for which God created you.
