Ordinary Fifth Sunday "B": Suffering has a higher reason. Behind what is beyond human comprehension, it's God we can lean on, as Job experienced. People who don't understand the meaning of life question themselves, the danger and suffering in this world is a way of seeking God.

We all have a role to serve in the Church...

We humans are all called to holiness...

God wants this world to be his family. This Sunday, we will solemnly celebrate the appearance of the Lord to all mankind, the visit of the Magi to Jesus the Messiah, born as the Gospel tells us.

The Magi are like Abraham, Abraham who was called by the Lord to leave his country for the land promised to him, inspired by faith. If we want to see and meet the Lord, we must go far with faith, will and courage...
