““You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hid. No one after lighting a lamp puts it under the bushel basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:14-16
Jesus tells us that we are the light of the world. We are to be salt and light to all we meet, whether we know the person or not. We should show this light through love. There is no greater nor brighter light that can shine from our soul and the light of love cannot be extinguished.
The faithful must endure for the sake of lost souls who want to find their way home to God. You must endure, have faith and trust. We must hold strong to the faith and trust in Jesus Christ, armored by the total love of God the Father.
“You say that a dense darkness is obscuring your mind. But why, at such times, do you not come to Me, the light who can in an instant pour into your soul more understanding about holiness than can be found in any books?” Divine Mercy in my soul # 1487
THE Light of the world (John 8:12) came into the world to set a fire. ““I came to bring fire to the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!” Luke 12:49. That candle He lit is you! “Oh, not me! I don’t know enough. I’m not ready.” Remember, God calls the chosen not the qualified. Your heart and love is what will show e forth to those wandering in the darkness and that tiny sliver of a candle that you think you are is a bright beacon in the darkest night.
Will you chose to be an advent candle in your world?
“I demand from you deeds of mercy, which are to arise out of love for Me. You are to show mercy to your neighbors always and everywhere. You must not shrink from this or try to excuse or absolve yourself from it.
I am giving you three ways of exercising mercy toward your neighbor: the first – by deed, the second – by word, the third – by prayer. In these three degrees is contained the fullness of mercy, and it is an unquestionable proof of love for Me. By this means a soul glorifies and pays reverence to My mercy.” Divine Mercy in my soul # 742
