Vidimus stellam ejus in Oriente,
et venimus cum muneribus adorare Dominum.
We have seen his star in the East and are come with gifts to adore the Lord.
(Matthew 2:2)
O God, who today revealed your Only-begotten, a star having been the guide, graciously grant, that we, who have already come to know you from faith, may be led all the way unto the contemplation of the beauty of your majesty.
Blessed Columba Marmion’s essage on the Epiphany is an excellent meditation.
Begotten of the Father before the daystar shone or time began, the Lord our Savior has appeared on earth today.
