"I came into the world as light." Jn 12:45
It is always good to stop from time to time to remember those who were lights for us on our faith journies. It may have been a teaching sister in your catholic school. It might have been a grandparent whose understanding and insight pointed you towards a path of hope. It might have been a young friend who assured you that God was a constant companion and you had nothing to fear.
We are also called to be lights for others, not so much by what we say, but how we live. When others realize that we are there for them, not as instructors in the particulars of faith, but as companions on the journey, they are much more likely to trust us and ask for help. What a great gift we can to friends and companions along the way and how grateful we need to be for those who continue to lead us by example.
Today, take a moment to thank someone who has helped you through dark times.
What is your reponsibility to those who walk in darkness?
