Matthew 2:1-2

Question for Reflection:
What are you observing that points to the living God?

Prayer for the day:
God, send us stars to guide our journey, signs that peak our curiosity and capture our imagination so much that we will set out on paths whose destinations are yet unknown, but which will lead us directly to you. In pursuit of your Son, we pray. Amen.
