The theme of Light continues as we proceed toward the end of the Christmas Season by meditating on the meaning of the Epiphany. The Collect for today's Mass speaks about acknowledging the full splendor of the Redeemer and being bathed in his radiance. Wow...Lord, let your light shine on us, give us a bath in it! What is that light, that radiance if not his love? St. John, in his first letter, again waxes eloquently and directly on Love: We love God because he has first loved us.(1 Jn 4:19). This light then radiates from us to love of others. Whoever loves God must also love his brother. (1 Jn 4:21). Ideally, if we put these words into practice and our light shines for all to see, it will be said of us as of Jesus, And all spoke highly of him and were amazed at the gracious words that came from his mouth. (Lk 4:22) May our day be filled with gracious words and deeds that radiate the love God gives us minute by minute.
