Matthew 2:1-12

Let us all remember that we are in the Holy presence of God.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Matthew 2:1-12
When Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the days of King Herod, behold, magi from the east arrived in
Jerusalem saying, “Where is the newborn king of the Jews? We saw his star at its rising and have come to do him
homage.”

Reflection
The gospel instilled the idea of how God redirects, plans, and guides us in our life’s journeys. We may carve the paths
we ought to take but God serves as the trailblazer who first created the land for us to walk on. God wouldn’t be only
with us in the end of the finish line; He will be with us in every step of the way. What was the biggest moment when we felt the presence of Jesus in our lives?

Lasallian Guiding Principle
LGP states that, “…the communion in mission is a spirit that allows one to trust one another…” As a community founded under one mission goal, we learned to trust one another and work as one. We are a family formed by our core values and principles that have united us. As Lasallians, our profession must put confidence to the various identities and personas we’ll meet and work with along the way and may be open to what we could offer for the lost, the last and the least.
