We have lost the habit of adoration, we have lost the ability that
gives us adoration. Let us rediscover our taste for the prayer of adoration.
Let us acknowledge Jesus as our God and Lord, and worship him... Nowadays there
is a lack of adoration among us.
Brothers and sisters, like the Magi, let us raise our eyes
to the heavens, let us set out to seek the Lord, let us bow our hearts in
adoration. Looking to the heavens, setting out on a journey and adoring. And
let us ask for the grace never to lose courage: the courage to be seekers of
God, men and women of hope, intrepid dreamers gazing at the heavens, the
courage of perseverance in journeying along the roads of this world with the
fatigue of a real journey, and the courage to adore, the courage to gaze upon
the Lord who enlightens every man and woman. May the Lord grant us this grace,
above all the grace to know how to adore. Pope Francis, Feast of Epiphany
