Star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to Thy perfect Light!
(We Three Kings of Orient Are)
Today, I was coming to church and having my first mass in 2011.
Frankly said, at first I was hesitated to come... (I'm not really a frequent church-goer #confession *sigh) but then I decided to come, since I thought it would be nice to start a brand new year with a good start. And I thought..., I simply need that.
Then at my first mass in 2011, I was really surprised to find out that we were celebrating epiphany, the manifestation of divine being of Jesus Christ to human being, that was represented by the Magi.
From the bible, we believe that not long after Jesus Christ was born in the small stall, there were three Magi Kings looking for Him, for the King of Jews that had been written by the prophets before.
As they were searching for him, there was one bright shining star that had been leading and guiding them through the dark night.
By it's help, they were able to find the baby Jesus there and did the homage to Him, the new born King.
I believe it wasn't a coincidence at all...
My first coming to church in 2011 and everything there was all about the star.
Bright star that guiding three Magi King to find Him and do the homage.
Bright shining star that proceeding them through the dark night and showing their path into Thy Light.
...
Bright shining star that leads and guides people through the darkest night...
Does it somehow ring a bell? ;)
Yeah... You guessed it right,
.... my concept of Stella Pacis... Star of peace :)
Yeah, star...
since the very first, since the beginning of human existence, star has been used as a guiding light
Star...
It shines brightly even in the darkest sky at night, so every lonely heart who tries to look above and gaze around will find a companion
Star...
It greets each lost soul, gives them hope, and shows them their way back home.
And today,
I believe it was another universe sign for me...
For reminding me... that above everything in this world, I just wanna be a star
For reminding me... that it's the only reason why I keep fighting my best until this present time
For reminding me... that in order to do so, firstly I have to find my own light that makes me able to shine for others
For reminding me... that I should not give up... though it still takes a long way to go :)
Stella Pacis, a star of peace
A star that shines for others and gives hope to everyone who see...
God, one day,
may I?
