In this episode of Franciscan Fridays, Brother Pius and Father Luke explore the biblical prophecy from Numbers 24, the journey of the Three Magi, and how God used even secular signs to reveal Christ to the world. They compare the Star of Bethlehem with modern secular symbols of fame—like the Hollywood Walk of Fame and the Times Square New Year’s Ball Drop—to uncover the difference between worldly glory and divine truth.
This conversation touches on:
The prophecy of the Star and Scepter in Scripture
The Magi’s journey and God’s universal call
Epiphany as the manifestation of Christ
How God speaks through everyday life
Why true honor lifts us up instead of being walked on
✨ Epiphany reminds us that God is always revealing Himself—if we have eyes to see.
