Today’s Gospel enlightens us regarding the nature of Christ. He is light for us. Since he is the Truth he sheds light on our knowing faculties so we may see and understand better reality. Without light it is difficult for us to see our way, to find objects we are looking for and impossible for us to see the direction and goals we are trying to achieve. We cannot keep our Lord away from us. Otherwise we make our journey here on earth more difficult if not impossible. We may find other lights that would just send us on a tailspin.
