This year the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity focuses on the star that led the shepherds and the Magi to Christ. Their world was in turmoil as is ours.

We continue to face a global pandemic and an ensuing economic crisis that is the outgrowth of it. As with the men of old, our political, economic, and social leaders are not providing the examples

of how best to protect the most vulnerable. Yet like the wisemen and sheperds  we are called to follow God’s light which will draw us to , the Spirit of God  who will bring us out of darkness.

 

Mother Theresa of Jesus understood this reality .  She understood that by our baptism we are transformed. We need to let God act in our lives and continually transform us.
