The Journey of the Magi” by James Jacques Joseph Tissot

And having been warned in a dream not to return to Herod,
they departed for their country by another way.

“It’s important to see that the Magi did go home.

They were not asked to leave their home but rather,
to approach the familiar from a new, a different perspective.

Does our knowing Christ re-orient us
and how we approach the familiar ups and downs of our lives?

Did our recent celebration of Christmas,
rechart the journey we’re on?”

— Fr. Austin Fleming, the Concord Pastor,
posing some great questions in a great homily.
