Powerful Light

The WORD today (see http://usccb.org/bible/readings/092313.cfm) reminds me how powerful the light is.

Generally, people do not feel energized during a rainy day. Because of the weather, we just want to stay in bed and sleep and eat. In highschool, we found out there is a scientific basis for this. In Chemistry we studied that there are certain molecules/chemicals or something that causes us to feel differently when it is raining. The same way, the sun energizes us, makes us feel alive and perks us up.

Light is powerful.

It gives us energy. It gives us life. And in the gospel, it shows us what is hidden.

We cannot keep anything hidden forever. Light will find us.

God knows what is in our hearts. We may be able to hide it from men, but we definitely cannot hide anything from God. And as we keep dark secrets, we are unconsciously harbouring them, making them grow and fester inside of us. God will not make them visible to others, but as we do so, these secrets and thoughts would slowly manifest in our actions and in our lives, thus, eventually, we will behave in a manner showing what secrets or real intentions we have.

As we come to Christ, the light, he will reveal to us what needs to be changed. As we come to the light, the secrets and dark portions of our beings will be revealed, and as we continue to remain in Him, he will slowly transform us and make us more and more like him. he will make us more and more like children of the light.

May we start the week right – living in the light of Christ.

Father God,

Thank you for today. Thank you for giving me another week to live, to work, to serve and love you. Lord, as I start this week, I pray that I always live in the light. May I move towards you and remain in you, so that you may constantly purify me and make me more and more like you. Amen.

Blessed week!

In Christ,
