Second Epiphany sermon during the octave

A second look at the Epiphany Gospel: the wise men came from the east, the orient, far away. Those who were invited were not worthy, so the light went to the byways. Gentiles sitting in darkness have seen a great light: we have seen it, we have been brought by the grace of God to the Christ, to hear and believe, when we had no merit or standing; so let us return home another way, in Christ who is the Way. Sermon for weekday in the Epiphany Octave.
