Pope Francis said today during the Angelus on the feast of the Epiphany, the experience of the Three Kings "calls not to settle for mediocrity" and to "seek the meaning of things."
"The experience of the Magi urges us not to settle for mediocrity, not pulling the best way to live, but to search for the meaning of things, to scrutinize with passion the great mystery of life," Bergoglio said from the window Apostolic apartment.
He added, "teaches us not shock us to the very small and poor, but to recognize the greatness in humility, namely kneel before her."
Francisco said that the Magi were "prestigious men from distant regions and cultures that made their way to the land of Israel to worship the newborn king."
"The Church has always seen in them the image of humanity and with the celebration of Epiphany almost respectfully want to lead every man and woman in this world towards the Child, who was born to save all," he said.
The pope said that Christ's birth brought to the shepherds, "humble and despised men" who came first to the manger, and the kings, all united by "a common aspect: the sky".
"The shepherds and the Magi teach us that to find Jesus need look up at the sky and not be locked up in ourselves but to have an open heart and mind to the horizon of God," he said.
In the Plaza de San Pedro heard him hundreds of faithful and tourists who took part in the traditional parade of the Magi, which took place in via della Conciliazione, linking Rome with Vatican.
