"On the solemnity of the Epiphany, Pope Francis said that the journey of the three wise men reflects a path of conversion taken by each person, in which God breaks the norm of our human expectations.
"'The crib points us to a different path from the one cherished by the thinking of this world: it is the path of God's self-abasement, his glory concealed in the manger of Bethlehem, on the cross upon Calvary, in each of our suffering brothers and sisters,' the Pope told Mass attendees on Jan. 6.
"On their journey to the manger where Jesus was laid, the wise men realized, through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, that 'God’s criteria are quite different from those of men,' the pontiff continued."
A recent Catholic News Agency article reported on the Pope's Epiphany homily, in which he encouraged us to undergo the same journey of conversion experienced by the wise men.
