The Three Magi travelled from far and wide
To reach you with their richest gifts
They experienced the fullness of joy
In your Most Holy and Awesome Presence.

Today we travel the shortest distance
From our heart to your Heart
To place before you the gift that is richer
Than all the Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh.

What can be more richer than gold?
Perhaps our golden deeds and thoughts.
What can be more precious than Frankincense?
Maybe the fragrance of our daily prayers.
What can be more priceless than Myrrh?
It is a total placing of ourselves into the heart of Jesus.

When Mary offered her Yes and Womb
To bear the Messiah of the World,
When Joseph agreed to raise Jesus
With the utmost and best parenting
These were exceptional gifts to be told in History.

When Jesus himself offered us a free will
And the gift of His Body and Blood
The free gift of grace and Salvation
The Eucharist to be within our hearts
Truly it was the fullness of his presence in us.

The Joy of being in the presence of God
The Joy of being in the presence of Love
The Joy of being in the presence of the One
Who can give us the fullness of Heaven here itself
This is the Complete Joy that the Heart can fully own.
