We celebrated Christmas, the birth of our Lord just a week ago and now we enter into a New Year, with the hope of the Magi. If we look closely we will find the light of our Savior and if we allow ourselves to enter into the light we just may find more peace and calm.
When we work together, pray together, love one another and forgive each other, the light of Christ enters us and is dispelled out into the darkness. One light can make a difference. One candle can light our way, but the Lord asks us to unite with one another regardless of our race, religion or financial status to bring that light to all. He wants us to put aside our selfishness and our prideful attitudes to shine just a bit more brightly.
So join with the Magi and ask the Holy Spirit to keep purifying us as we strive to bring the light of love into our world. When we all unite as one, our problems seem more manageable and our hearts are lifted because we know we do not have to go it alone. The Lord is here for all of us and his Mercy is endless. Be filled this day and this year with hope so that we can fill the world with His glory.
