ECCLESIOLOGICAL ETCHINGS
January 6, 2025
The Magi have made the journey 
They’ve made their appearance
They’ve offered their homage
They’ve shared their gifts
They return by a different route
  Returned as different people
  Forever changed
  Unreservedly awe-struck
Holy One of celestial signs and wonders 
  Continue to invite us onto the journey 
  Provide partners 
  Fellow travelers
  Companions 
  Encouragers
Bring us into your presence 
  Born to a simple family
  With a doting father
  With a faithful mother
Bring us into your presence
  Born into an unexpected place
  With an extraordinary love 
  With kindness and gentleness
Because of our journey 
  We shall return as different people 
  Forever changed
  Unreservedly awe-struck
With gratitude and joy
  We end our prayer with amen.
