Where is the newly born king of the Jews?
If the magi of today, that is, men and women of good will, who want to know where Jesus is, were to ask today, the scriptures would tell us that Jesus is found:
- In those who are hungry
- In those who don't have anything to put on
- In those who are incarcerated or detained
- In the sick
- In the indigenous people who are treated as foreigners
In these persons Jesus is waiting for us to receive the gold of our financial help, the incense of our respect and the myrrh of our understanding and our affection.
To find him, we don’t have to leave our land, we simply must leave our egoism and our own interests.
Amen, Sr. Agnes!
