TODAY’S WORD…

O God,

send out Your Light and Your Truth;

let them guide me.

Let them lead me to Your Holy Mountain,

to the place where You live.

– Psalm 43:3

REFLECTION…

Jesus is the Light who came to lead us home to the house of the Father. He came to heal the blindness of our hearts; to remove the darkness of our selfishness; and to make us see the truth.

Jesus is the Truth. He is the Son of God who become man, “full of grace and truth” (Jn 1:14). He teaches us the truth that can save us from a world that seems to be intent on prescribing the counterfeit with its promise of instant gratification which, however, only leads to ruin and perdition.

The ‘lights’ and the ‘truths’ of the world keep superseding themselves with the latest contemporary varieties making previous versions obsolete. The Light and the Truth of Christ do not change – they are relevant for every age. The Light and the Truth of Christ are the same yesterday, today, and forever!

PRAYER…

My Jesus

come, O Divine Light and Truth;

come and guide me.

Lead me to Your Holy Mountain,

to the place where You live.

Send Your Holy Spirit

to open my eyes to see Your Truth,

and to protect me from the baits and the traps

of the evil one.

Shine Your Light on me, O Lord,

I want to know Your Truth

and to see Your Glory!

Amen.
