Saint Matthew Parish issued the following announcement on Jan. 5.
“[The Magi] teach us not to be deceived by appearances, by what the world considers great, wise, and powerful. We must not stop at that. It is necessary to guard the faith. Today this is of vital importance: to keep the faith. We must press on further, beyond the darkness, beyond the voices that raise alarm, beyond worldliness.” — Pope Francis
Reflection: Have you ever been fooled by how something looks on the outside? Has this ever happened with something or someone who claims to want to help you grow in your faith? Where do you turn for wisdom in such situations? Is there a message or situation where you find yourself guarding your faith? What from the example of the Wise Men might help you to remain focused on Christ?
