The feast of Epiphany, among the many other things, helps me reflect on the aspect of search. While the main theme is that of manifestation, it is also the celebration of the success of the eager search of the wise men who started off to look for the Promised One.
The readings of the feast of Epiphany, rightly emphasise this dimension of the zeal to know, find out, seek Him. Well one might add that even Herod was searching for Jesus, but was not so fortunate (fortunate for Jesus!). So what was the difference between their search mode and mood? The wise men knew the worth (as did Herod) and wanted to be with Him; Herod on the other hand, saw the newborn as a threat to him, and thereby wanted to eliminate any competition.
So, in that sense, we all do seek... but let us also be clear as to for what do we seek Him?
