Let Your Light Shine!

A word that came out of the reading from Exodus today is "Radiant!" Maybe we don't hear that word too much. We talk about the radiance of the sun or the radiant glow from someone's face. The premise of one of the commentators for today is that it is our time to be radiant. We can look to the gospel where the city is set on a hill. We do not light a lamp and then put it under a bushel basket. We put it on a stand for all to see. That is true with our lives! We need to live the gospel and bring the good news of Jesus Christ to our brothers and sisters. We need to let our lives be radiant. Light up the world, light up our communities with the the light of Christ, radiating from our lives and our hearts. We look around the world and we see a lot of turmoil, strife, conflict, chaos, and so many other adjectives, but one thing is certain, the light of Christ can dispel the darkness and bring radiance to a torn and troubled world! Let us reflect on the word "Radiant" in our time of prayer and see how the Lord will allow us to let our light shine
