Reflection for January 9

The Arrival of the Magi at the Manger
And now we have found where [the star has led], what then? It is neither in seeking nor finding; the end of all, the cause of all is in the last words, adorare Eum, to worship Him. That is all in all, and without it all our seeing, coming, seeking and finding is to no purpose. --Lancelot Andrewes, from a sermon preached Christmas Day, 1622
