Light of Christ

"O Radiant Dawn, splendor of eternal light, sun of justice: come, shine on those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death" (Traditional "O" Antiphon). To show how the liturgical year goes in cycles, we look to the Easter Vigil and the lighting of the Paschal Candle. After the candle is lit we process into the dark church and intone "Christ our Light"! Jesus is the Light of the world that dispels the darkness of sin and death. What we await at this Christmas Time is the light to come into the world as we read in the "O" Antiphon for this day! Of course, the light has come and now we ultimately await Our Lord's coming in glory. As we continue our journey may the light of Christ shine in our lives and in our hearts so that we may radiate that light in all we do! Have a blessed day!!!
