On this feast of Epiphany, let us remember the act of resistance at the heart of this story: The magi saw through Herod’s lies, defied his decree, and honored the birth of the Prince of Peace.
So may we, in our own day, refuse every order that serves cruelty, stand against oppression without flinching, and follow the Light that exposes the unjust.
