Psalm 72 (71)

We often think of three kings visiting the Holy Family, but St Matthew writes of Magi (or wise men). Psalm 72 reminds us that Jesus is the one true king, who rules the whole world with justice, right judgement and compassion. He brings peace and has pity for the weak, the poor and the needy. We should all strive to do likewise. The response is: All the nations on earth shall fall prostrate before you, O Lord.
