 s 3:20-2\nMatthew 2:1-12\n\n\nToday's Gospel pericope is the narrative of 
 the Magi's visitation and their offering of gifts to the Christ child. \n\
 nDespite polemical attacks on the contrary\, the Orthodox Church has never
  bestowed upon St. Mary any position which isn't in accordance with Holy S
 cripture. When the Magi arrive\, they find the One whom they "have come to
  worship" with His mother. The presence of St. Mary neither impedes worshi
 p of the True God nor does it diminish the glory of His person. Rather\, t
 he paradoxical mystery of Christ being borne by the Virgin merely confirms
  without doubt\, that it was truly God whom received worship from the Magi
 . While not explicitly mentioned\, it isn't hard to imagine that the Chris
 t child was held in the arms of His mother in that moment\, and we recogni
 ze the embodied prototype of the icon of St. Mary and child venerated by t
 rue believers for centuries.\n\nIn his cycle of Nativity hymns\, St. Simon
  the Potter (Mor Shem'un Quqoyo) gives voice to St. Mary\, who gives confi
 dence to the Magi to worship her son:\n\n"It was from the east of Paradise
  \nthat the Magi came\, bringing gifts\; \nthey entered in order to offer 
 them to the Son\, \nbut were unable to\, because of his splendour. \nHis m
 other drew close to him and said: \n'My Son\, gather in the power of your 
 splendour\, \nlet the Magi enter \nand offer you their gifts.'"\n\nAs we m
 editate today on the Wonder that the Magi experienced seeing God as a babe
  in His mother's arms\, let us have confidence that St. Mary will always p
 oint us to Christ\; so that we may freely offer our gifts and worship the 
 Son of God.
