Today the Church celebrates the Solemnity of the Epiphany of the Lord, the great feast of Christ’s manifestation to the world. With this celebration, the promises of Advent reach their fulfilment, as the Church proclaims Christ revealed as King, Lord and Light of the nations.

The Epiphany brings together three great moments of revelation: the adoration of the Magi, the Baptism of the Lord and the wedding feast at Cana. Together, they reveal who Jesus truly is, the Son of God made known not only to Israel, but to all peoples.

In the Magi, the Church has always seen the first fruits of the Gentiles, drawn by the light of Christ. Their journey proclaims a powerful truth: salvation is offered to the whole world.

Epiphany reminds us that Christ is revealed for everyone, and that we too are called to follow the light that leads to Him.
