Doing "The Work" of LIght, In Light

The city of Boston has named this day, the second anniversary of the marathon bombings, "Boston One Day" and Mayor Marty Walsh  is encouraging Bostonians to spend the day doing simple good deeds for others, based on the awesome reaction of those who stood innocently watching the Marathon and responded to the tragedy with spontaneous acts of kindness, care, risk and compassion, helping strangers in panic or in need of medical aid.  There was a oneness of purpose that afternoon; all pitched in without being asked to help the helpless.  Love and goodness flowed as abundantly as the blood from the victims. So, today there will be an attempt to imitate that healing flow of love and goodness.
In today's reading from the Gospel of John, Jesus speaks of works of evil and work of light. Yes, evil doers prefer the darkness to hide their deeds, while those who believe do the works of light and goodness in the light, so that others make see and do likewise.  "But whoever lives the truth comes to the light, so that his works may be clearly seen as done in God."  (Jn 3:21).  That day two years ago was a day of darkness and light; today it will be all light and an example for us to do "the work" of light in the Light.
