We usually read the words of the Prophet, Isaiah, "I have grasped you by the hand;/I have formed you, and set you/ as a convenant of the people,/ a light for the nations,/ To open the eyes of the blind,/ to bring prisoners from confinement,/ and from the dungeon, those who live in darkness" (Is. 42: 6-7) as a reference to the Messiah, Jesus, but they are also a call to US. We have received the Light of Christ at Baptism and received the commission to walks as sons and daughters of light, keeping the flame of trught alive in our hearts and illuminating the darkness of the world around us. December witnesses the shrinking of daylight as darkness has its hour. BUT,the Light of the World appears on the 25th, already the days are getting longer. "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it." (John 1:5) Bouyed up by this assurance, let us bring forth light by word and deed.
I can now post a reflection from home, so I will continue to offer a slice of daily bread on Saturday and Sunday.
