Fernando Ramos on Which Star to Follow

"On the feast of the Epiphany of Our Lord, we celebrate how God is revealed to the world, made man in a humble manger, breaking all our expectations. The world offers us comfort, wealth, and wisdom, but God always chooses another path. In the Gospel of Matthew, we are told that Wise Men from the East followed a star that led them to the manger in Bethlehem. . . ..

"But let's return to our star, because those good Wise Men, whom we know as Melchior, Caspar, and Balthazar, followed a star that set them on their journey. Surely the road was not easy, and they must have faced difficulties, but that star became an intuition for them, which they turned into a purpose that led them to the greatest destination. . . ."

In a recent commentary, Fernando Ramos (Spanish Teacher, Salesianum School, Wilmington, DE) reflected on how the Epiphany of Our Lord gives us a clue as to what stars we should follow in our own lives.
