The Seventh Day in the Octave of Christmas

What came to be through him was life, and this life was the light of the human race;
the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

Jesus Christ is our light and it is important for us to remember that no matter how dark it is, His Light is always nearby. We might be blinded to it by our sins, or distracted from it by our doubts and fears, but it is always there waiting for us to reach out to it. It is also important to remember that we are called to reflect the light of God’s grace to others.

What are the things that keep us from seeing the light of Christ in our lives? What are we doing to reach out to our Lord and his children? How can we be better beacons of God’s love?

O Lord, be our light and the source of all our good.

Amen.
