When he was at table with them, he took the bread. He blessed the bread, and broke it, and gave it to them. And their eyes were opened and they recognized him!(Luke 24:13-35)

God's light is a bright light, indeed!

In Mark’s Gospel (Mark 4:21-25) we are called to let our light shine. What is this light? Do we really have anything to offer, to make any difference in this world?


This light, for one thing, is nothing that we have put together ourselves. It is the many blessings and graces that God has bestowed on each one of us. When we open ourselves to the working of the Holy Spirit, things of the ordinary take on new meaning, such as the things we see and the things we hear. We see the miracles of God each day in a very simplistic and profound way. We hear God's voice in Sacred Scripture as well as through the prophets of yesterday and today.

All these things we receive from God and are called to humbly share with others, to let our light—God’s light—shine forth upon the world. It does make all the difference in the world, to share and let shine the glory of the Lord. It dispels the darkness of all things.
