Keep focused on the light

There are times in life when things can look very dark.

These are the times when we can find great comfort from faith in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, who died and rose for us.

As Saint Peter says in today’s second reading (2 Peter 1:16-19):

We possess the prophetic message
that is altogether reliable.
You will do well to be attentive to it,
as to a lamp shining in a dark place,
until day dawns
and the morning star rises in your hearts.
