The Venerable Sister Mary of Jesus of Ágreda describes how the three Kings of the orient came to adore the Word made Man in Bethlehem. Our Mother, The Blessed Virgin Mary, tells us that we need to learn from these events saying, "My daughter, the events recorded in this chapter contain much for the instruction of kings and princes and for the other faithful; as for instance, the prompt obedience and humility of the Magi, which men should imitate, and the obdurate wickedness of Herod, which they are to fear and abhor; for each reaped the fruit of his actions. The kings reaped the fruit of justice and other virtues, which they practiced; while Herod reaped those of ambition and pride by which he had usurped the government, and of other vices into which he cast himself without restriction or moderation. But let this remark, together with the other teachings of the holy church, suffice for those that live in the world. To yourself must you apply the doctrine contained in what you have written; always remembering that all the perfection of a Christian life must be founded upon the Catholic truths, and in the constant and firm acknowledgment of them, as they are taught by holy faith. In order to impress them upon your heart, you must profit of all that you read or hear of the divine Writings, and of what is contained in the other devout and instructive books concerning the virtues. Your faith you must accompany by the practice and abundance of all good works, hoping ever in the visitation and coming of the Most High (Titus 2:13)."
