This Epiphany at the Jordan River is deep water; you can't stand on the shore and dip your toes in.  You must take a breath and plunge.

In the last line of the Gospel, Matthew gives us a spiritual path to follow “And having been warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed for their country by another way.” In some ways, this was a dangerous move. In the verses following today’s Gospel, Matthew writes: “When Herod realized that he had been deceived by the magi, he became furious.

One year at the Christmas Eve Children’s Mass, I was walking the children through Luke’s nativity. I had some cloth figures that I was using to illustrate the Gospel story. Mary and Joseph were making their way to Bethlehem. This particular set of characters included a donkey, so the donkey came with Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem. Next, I brought out a manger, and then I placed the baby Jesus in the manger.

Matthew’s telling of Joseph’s story empowers us all to take our place on that crowded pageant stage. The rest of us play only supporting roles in the cast. We are not “Gospel leads.” In God’s holy dream, we are accepted as we are: partners in God’s labor. The Savior is of our own lineage. "Unto us" —all of us— "a child is born."

There is a principal for interpreting scripture that goes like this, “If something is repeated, it must be important.” Did you notice that Matthew keeps repeating the number 14?

John the Baptist was sent as a messenger to prepare the way of the Lord. And now, awaiting execution, John's death at Herod's hands will foreshadow Jesus' own death on the cross. On the cross, Jesus prayed the opening line of Psalm 22, "My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?" Inside his cell, John faces his own experience of abandonment and doubt.

At the heart of Christmas is the Christ child who is born among us. Imagine you are the child, sleep in the manger, awakening to the vision of God’s kingdom.

About a month ago, King Abdullah II of Jordan, and his wife, Queen Rania visited Pope Leo at the Vatican. During their photo-op, Rania brought up the Pope’s upcoming visit to Lebanon, and wondered whether it was safe for him to go there. Pope Leo responded, “Well, we’re going.”
