At our baptism, we were entrusted with a baptismal candle and told to keep the light of Christ bravely burning in our hearts. We are reminded by today’s readings not to hide that light, but to use it to help transform the darkness of this world. Jesus equated the good deeds we do for others with the light that enables others to see and believe and glorify God. This wonderful light comes from Jesus, for it is Christ who shines in us for the world to see. By being that light of Christ we help others find their way to Jesus. Now that is a great light.
