Advent is a journey within a journey. The journey of the Three Wise Men who followed a star to Bethlehem, a journey which the entire Church celebrates on the Solemnity of Epiphany as the culmination of the liturgical seasons of Advent and Christmas, is like a living parable. The core of the parable is the Magi’s journey: The Magi undertook a journey to encounter God. And isn’t that what every Christian life is, in its essence, a journey to the definitive encounter with God? In this Retreat Guide, you will follow along with the Magi as they follow their Star, learning how to face and overcome the difficulties that they had to face and overcome, and finding new ways to place your treasures at the feet of the Lord.
