Day 14

Almost every picture of the Christmas stable includes a star. However, the star and the wise men who visited Jesus properly belong to the separate feast of Epiphany usually celebrated on 6 January. But ‘Following a star’ can become a tale of life’s experiences for most of us. We can travel through life in hope towards the goals that inspire and sustain us. Perhaps the journeying in hope is almost more important than the arrival. Christians believe that, like a star, God in Christ will point us in the right direction. By what are we guided in our own lives?
