This is the last “Reflection of the Week” for 2016. Reflections will resume with UC e-News on Wednesday 18 January, 2017.

The Magi learned from experience that the longest way home is often the best way. They had arrived too late to witness the birth of the Holy Child, and found him not in a grubby stable, but in a safer environment. Having offered their costly gifts, they prepared to return home.

…and having been warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they left for their own country by another way. – Matthew 2:12

Like me, the Magi might have discovered that an encounter with the Living God can be life-changing. Christ offers me – offers us – another, better way of living.

Prayer

Christ of the Manger and the Cross, I have no star to guide me, but only the light of your love, as I venture on a new path, changed by your grace. Amen.
