Following the Light
This powerful reflection weaves together John's cosmic prologue and the journey of the Magi to explore a profound truth: faith is less about certainty and more about faithful following. We encounter the stunning mystery of the Word becoming flesh, God pitching his tent among us, not to explain everything but to walk alongside us. The Magi, guided by incomplete knowledge and an ambiguous star, demonstrate what true seeking looks like—they journey with questions rather than answers, following what light they have. Meanwhile, Jerusalem's religious establishment possesses all the scriptural certainty they need, yet remains paralyzed by fear, unable to make even a six-mile journey to investigate. This contrast challenges our modern hunger for guarantees and five-year plans. What if faithfulness isn't about having all the answers or getting everything right? What if it's about moving toward love with whatever wisdom we currently possess, staying open to being redirected, and trusting that the light we have—like a candle in darkness—is enough for the next step? The invitation isn't to flood our path with certainty, but to notice what star captures our attention right now and to follow it with courage and humility.
