|
Light, it is said in the Psalms, is the mantle with which God covers himself...
In the New Testament, it is Christ who constitutes the full manifestation of God's light. His resurrection defeated the power of the darkness of evil forever.

The world needs people capable of proclaim and bearing witness to God who is love, and consequently to the one light which in the end, illumines the darkness of the world and gives us strength to live and to work.

Love is the light – and in the end, the only light – that can always illuminate a world grown dim and give us the courage needed to keep living and working.

In Baptism, we are set free from the shadow of evil and receive Christ’s light in order to live as children of light. We too must learn to see in Christ’s Face God’s presence, hence light.

Christ does not take you away from the world. Christ sends you wherever his light is lacking so that you may take it to others. You are all called to be small lights for those around you.

|
Prayer as a way of “accustoming” oneself to being with God brings into being men and women who are not motivated by selfishness, by the desire to possess or by the thirst for power, but by gratuitousness, by the desire to love, by the thirst to serve, in other words who are motivated by God; and only in this way is it possible to bring light to the darkness of the world.

| |
|
Those who believe in Jesus do not lead lives of perpetual sunshine, as though they could be spared suffering and hardship; but there is always a bright glimmer there, lighting up the path that leads to fullness of life. The eyes of those who believe in Christ see light even amid the darkest night and they already see the dawning of a new day.
