Towards the light

 John 1:6-9

There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. He came as a witness to testify to the light, so that all might believe through him. He himself was not the light, but he came to testify to the light. The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world.

Knowing who we are 

And who we are not

makes a difference.

Sharing our story in the light of Christ

Bearing witness

to all that we can see

of the light of God 

in our world

in our communities

in our lives

And holding in wonder

all the light we cannot see

We are called to be witnesses

and forerunners

who point to the one

whose light still shines in the darkness

the light whose reach is farther than we can imagine

the light that cannot be extinguished

Knowing who we are

Knowing who we are not

Knowing the light that came into the world

and continues to suffuse the world with love.
