Why does the host prefer celebrating Epiphany on Sunday instead of the traditional January 6th date?

The episode opens with a greeting on Sunday, January 4th, identifying it as the celebration of the Epiphany of the Lord. The host explains that Epiphany means manifestation, specifically God revealing himself to all peoples through Jesus Christ. He notes that different regions celebrate on different dates—some on January 6th (Three Kings Day) and others on the Sunday after January 1st. The host expresses his preference for Sunday celebration because it's the Lord's Day. He offers prayers for Venezuela following recent news, hoping for a return to order, freedom, and democracy. The host then transitions to the biblical narrative, describing how the Magi (wise men from the East) followed a star to find the newborn king. He reads the Gospel passage from Matthew 2:1-12, which details Herod's deceptive request for information and the Magi's joyful adoration of the child. The host emphasizes that the Magi were astronomers and philosophers seeking ultimate truth, and their months-long journey represents humanity's search for meaning. He explains that in finding Jesus, they discovered the foundation of all things—truth, unity, goodness, and beauty. The host contrasts seeking God through created things (like nature) with the definitive path through Jesus Christ. He connects the Epiphany story to the Christmas season, noting that the Magi returned home by a different path after their encounter, symbolizing transformation. The episode concludes with references to the closing of the Jubilee of Hope and announcements about future jubilees in 2033. The host mentions celebrating multiple Eucharists that day and sends greetings to listeners, including someone in Lima, Peru.
