This weekend we culminate the Christmas season with the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord. In the gospel story this Sunday, Jesus’ identity is revealed. Matthew says: “A voice came down from heaven, You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.” This is important because it is in the waters of Baptism that we hear God calling Jesus His “beloved Son.” But what does that mean?

The Feast of the Three Kings is called the Solemnity of the Epiphany. It is a day when we remember how God revealed Himself to everyone. No longer was the revelation given only to a certain group of people. No, God chose to manifest His presence to the entire world - Jews and non-Jews. The presence of the wise men symbolizes that divine act of epiphany, a radical act of hospitality.
