These gifts of the Magi were intentional, each with profound meaning, but one stood out to me during prayer, it was Myrrh.
Myrrh comes from a small, thorny tree species of the genus Commiphora in Saba and is used for medicinal purposes, burial preparations, and healing. It also symbolized suffering. Not only did this act as a pre-figuring to Christs passion and death but it was also an offering of the wiseman’s sufferings. In essence, it was the unity of the sufferings that was the gift that day, his and Christs.
I discovered this profound truth and I realized Jesus was inviting me to do the very same, to offer up my daily sufferings, big and small, to unite them with His. This art is a reflection on the sharing of sufferings with Christ. He bears ours and we too are to walk with Him in His.
