Wildfires, heat waves, earth quakes, famines, conflicts worldwide, assassinations, retaliations and more have created many hardships. A sense of helplessness in the age of enlightenment. A knowledge based society with a heart of wood. The glory of God gave us Jesus to save us from the darkness. The three wisemen from the east followed the solitary star to baby Jesus and gave gifts of gold, frankincence and myrrh. Allow Jesus into your heart and ignite an eternal flame for righteousness. Bathe in his light, to the glory of God.

Amen.

Based on the readings for the week: Isaiah 60:1-6; Matthew 2:1-12
