The Seventh Day in the Octave of Christmas
As I reflect on the Gospel reading this New Year's Eve, verses 4-5 stood out to me: “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.” Let us enter the New Year with the light of Jesus Christ. Live life full of God’s grace and truth. It is this light that God gives us that helps us feed the hungry, shelter the homeless, walk with the immigrants and grieve with the lonely. It is God’s grace and truth that lifts us up and sustains our strength during the dark times that life throws at us. In 2022, let us be the hands and feet of Christ to those who are experiencing the darkness and help them encounter the light of Christ. It is through our actions that we bring his words to life and nurture his dwelling among us.
