Last Sunday, the Church celebrated the Solemnity of the Epiphany, and children of this parish were invited to consider what it was like for the Magi to travel such long distances in order to visit with the new-born Christ child.
When asked to describe the chosen mode of transportation, they explained that camels are stinky, stubborn animals that spit. They rock when they walk. It must have been very difficult for the Magi to travel by camel. Given all this, it is even more amazing that they took the long way home (on a camel) in order to avoid Herod. It must not have been a very pleasant ride, so it must have been very important that they make this trek.
The scriptures for today (the Second Sunday of Ordinary Time) speak of vocation. I wonder what wisdom our little ones will iimpart.
