WEDNESDAY IN THE SECOND WEEK OF LENT
"I am the light of the world, says the Lord; he who follows me will have the light of life." (John 8:12)
Dearest in the Lord, today is Wednesday in the second week of Lent. Gradually, we are facing Jerusalem in anticipation of the great Festival of Palm Sunday in few weeks time.
In the light of this, Evangelist John in tiday's gospel acclamation reminded us of one of the outstanding attributes of our Saviour, Jesus Christ. He (Christ) used the image "light" to explain himself. No one ever walk in the light and fear grips him or her. That is to say with Christ, darkness in our paths shall be dispelled.
Christ remains the foundation of our being. As we are watching and waiting with fasting, prayer and almsgiving let us not be afraid for Christ is the light unto our paths. Prophet Jeremiah in the first reading gives us instace of attack on him, but his enemies could not harm him because God was there with him. (cf. Jeremiah 18:18-20)
Why are we getting so worried? Why allowing fear to grip us? Why troubling ourselves unnecessarily? Fear not! Lets cheer up for he (Christ) is always there and will continue to be there as light for us, as long as we walk with Him. Peace be with you! Fada PIUSRALPH prays for you!
Let us pray
Keep your family, O Lord, schooled always in good works, and so comfort them with your protection here as to lead them graciously to gifts on high. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Amen
