Jesus is our light
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
The peace of our Lord Jesus be with us always.
In this first prayer marathon of 2023, we prepare ourselves with an open heart to welcome Jesus into our lives and to cherish and give the love that flows from this encounter.
We are not always able to show the world that we are ‘Christians’, that we belong to Christ, to the one who gave his life for us, and gave it out of love.
We find ourselves rejecting the pitfalls and traps of the enemy, who uses a thousand tricks to confuse us, scare us, demoralize us and make us lose hope.
The world with its false glare wants us to focus on material well-being, power, and carnal pleasure. But what remains of all this, if not the wasting of our time and our soul?
” You are the light of the world; A city located on a mountain cannot remain hidden, nor is a lamp lit to place it under the bushel, but above the lampstand so that it sheds light on all those who are in the house. So let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.”
Matthew 5:14-16
Lord Jesus, illuminate our lives with your Holy Light and make us bearers of your peace in the ways of the world.
Even a single small spark of your love can light up the darkness of hearts and transform them into candlesticks lit to honor God the Father.
