“They were overjoyed at seeing the star” Matthew 2:10 The star is the source of joy: by shining in the darkness, it reminds us that we are a people on a journey, on the move, and opens us to the hope of what awaits us. Let’s allow ourselves to be guided by it. It isn’t only a heavenly body, but also the goal of our journey: “I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star”.
