"It might happen at certain moments of our interior life -- and we are nearly
always to blame -- that the star disappears, just as it did to the wise kings on
their journey.... What should we do if this happens?
Follow the example of those wise men and ask. Herod used knowledge to act
unjustly. The Magi used it to do good. But we Christians have no need to go to
Herod nor to the wise men of this world. Christ has given His Church sureness
of doctrine and a flow of grace in the Sacraments. He has arranged things so
that there will always be people to guide and lead us, to remind us constantly
of our way" (St. J. Escriva, "Christ Is Passing By", 34).
