The Magi.
The three wisemen had a knowledge about a virgin that will give birth to the Messiah. They had this knowledge in their minds and they treasured this knowledge shown by the fact that they waited for the fulfillment of this knowledge. This knowledge was about the birth of the Catholic Church through which they will find salvation.
So they waited for the sign that will lead them to that Church.
One day, the visible sign appeared in the sky. Because they had the knowledge of the beginning of the existence of the Church, they automatically knew the visible sign that would lead them to the Church. We have two things here now; the knowledge of the coming Church and the sign that will lead to the Church.
So they followed the sign which appeared as a star that pointed the way leading to the Church. St. Thomas described this star as an angel who like prophets expressed the will of God in the form of commands.
Along the way to the Church the stars disappears and they were forced to ask directions from humans in the person of King Herod. And Herod became a great danger to their quest for the Church. He planned the destruction of the Church.
Why did the star disappear? To teach us a lesson; never ask humans the way to the Church whether they are priests, bishops or Pope Francis. Humans do not know the way to the Church; only God knows the way, The way is found in God’s Divine Revelation which is found in Scriptures and the writings of the Fathers of the Church. Humans will only give wrong directions. Or in the case of Pope Francis, he is looking for the true Church to destroy it as in the case of the Franciscans and the Institute of the Good Shepherd. Never tell anybody where the true Church is. Those within the true Church know where it is. The others do not have to know.
If anyone wishes to know where the Church is, they must start from the beginning like the Wise men.
After inquiring from men where is the Church which endangered the very existence of the Church, the star reappeared. Scriptures and Tradition can reappear anytime on demand, and guided them inside the Church where they found the Child with His mother.
To be able to enter the Church we must bring three gifts; gold, frankincense and myrrh. Herod had no gifts; so he could not enter and could not even find the Church. Even if he asked for directions nobody will give him because he had no gifts.
First, Gold is the symbol of wisdom which is knowledge of all the commandments of God as found the Old and the New Testament with their correct interpretation as found in the writings of the Fathers of the Church. Most of the teachings of Pope Francis comes from his own private judgement; and they go against Scriptures and the Fathers. The same goes with most of the cardinals, bishops and priests who follow his new church. With no Gold, these will not even have any idea where the true Church is.
Second, frankincense is the symbol of devout prayer, St. Thomas wrote. Devout prayer does not mean praying according to the different schools of prayer. It means praying according to the teachings of Christ who taught us when He prayed the ‘Our Father.’ This way of praying had been described in detail by St. Augustine and St. Thomas, and summarized in Pope Benedict’s booklet on ‘Prayer,’ according to the Fathers. The teachings on prayer is best applied when praying the Divine Office. Pope Francis’ ‘Vultum Dei quaerere’ is discouraging this true form of prayer. Prayer is instead substituted with social activities, like providing work for the jobless youth. So more members of the hierarchy following Pope Francis will never find the true Church.
Third, myrrh. Myrrh is the symbol of the need for suffering. Christ, Himself, showed us the need for suffering by undergoing it through He did not have to do that to save mankind. But we need it because of our sins. So husbands and wives who have problems should show love of God and neighbor by carrying their cross that they may have a gift to bring inside the Church. But Pope Francis and his gang wants them to throw away their gifts of myrrh, marry somebody else and go to communion to commit further sacrileges.
It looks like nobody is watching for the star, nobody is following the star, nobody is finding the house where the Child and mother is, because they are carrying no gifts with them. Which is the state of the Vatican and those who pretend to be Catholics.
But the shepherd had no gifts. They had the gifts of a suffering life as shepherds (myrrh), a watchful and prayerful mind (frankincense) and a obedient heart (gold).
