Reflection
In Christ there is no trace of darkness. His light shows up the darkness in us. His truth shows up our lies. His integrity shows up our falseness. His generosity shows up our selfishness. His peace shows up our conflicts. His openness to others shows how closed we are. However, we should not be afraid of his light. Rather, we should rejoice in it. Compared to his light other lights are mere flares in the night or candles in the wind.. Christ, radiant Light of the world, guide our steps through the gloom of this world to the kingdom of unfailing light.
