My dear brothers and sisters, today we turn our hearts and minds to the words of the prophet Isaiah, who speaks to us of the glorious light that shines in the darkness. In Isaiah 60:1-3, we read:
"Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the Lord rises upon you and his glory appears over you. Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn."
These words remind us that even in the midst of darkness and despair, God's light shines brightly for all to see. It is a light that brings hope, joy, and salvation to all who are willing to receive it. As followers of Christ, we are called to be bearers of this light, shining brightly in a world that is often filled with darkness.
In a world that is plagued by sin, suffering, and injustice, it can be easy to lose sight of the light of God's love. But we must remember that no darkness can overcome the light of Christ. As we allow his light to shine through us, we can bring hope and healing to those who are in need.
Let us not be afraid to let our light shine before others, so that they may see our good works and give glory to our Father in heaven. Let us be beacons of hope in a world that is desperate for the light of Christ.
May we always remember that the light of God's love is always shining upon us, guiding us, and leading us on the path of righteousness. Let us arise and shine, for our light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon us. Amen.
