MONDAY OF THE TWENTY-FIFTH WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME SEPTEMBER 20, 2021

MASS READINGS:

A reading from the holy Gospel according to Lk 8:16-18

Jesus said to the crowd: “No one who lights a lamp conceals it with a vessel or sets it under a bed; rather, he places it on a lampstand so that those who enter may see the light. For there is nothing hidden that will not become visible, and nothing secret that will not be known and come to light. Take care, then, how you hear. To anyone who has, more will be given, and from the one who has not, even what he seems to have will be taken away.”

REFLECTION

"those who enter may see the light"

With light we can go in a room, walk at night and be aware of who is near us.

With the light of Jesus our faith sees what is actual and real. With faith we can see more and not walk around in a fog. Faith sees the reality of the victory of Christ which we cannot perceive with our senses or comprehend by our intellect.

His light is more powerful than the deepest darkness. He is more powerful than the devil. Jesus knows the secrets of our hearts. He is the light of truth that can fill our hearts. Our souls are waiting for His help.

All of our efforts must go about bringing the Word of God to many and to pray for priests who bring the Body and Blood of Christ to all. God will provide everything needed --money, health, necessary volunteers, opportunities and time.

God Bless You
