Let Our Light Shine

It might not be too much of an overstatement to say that everyone loves a light house.  The rocky coast of New England is dotted with them, countless photos and paintings have been made of them; they harbor mystery, beauty, strength and security.  They come to mind as we hear Jesus say this morning:  "You are the light of the world" (Mt 5:14)...a light that cannot be hidden, (should not be), and which gives light to all.  Not that we have to do something spectacular, like St. Anthony, whose Memorial it is today, but simply our good deeds shine like a lighthouse beacon to guide others on their course toward God and give glory to God.  A person's goodness (light) can be so visible, that no words need be spoken...simply "that presence" is enough. May we not discount the value of our kind words and thoughtful gestures, but make a special effort each day to be a strong, beautiful and guiding beacon of light.
