| I am the light of the world. |
| Jesus; John 8:12 |
| |
|
Give praise to the Creator
for all that you find beautiful:
the earth, the sea, the sky, the springs and the rivers.
See with your bodily eyes the light that shines on earth,
but embrace with your whole soul and all your affections
the true light, Our Lord Jesus Christ.

| Behold, I stand at the door and knock. |
| Jesus; Revelation 3:20 |

Let your door stand open to receive Him,
unlock your soul to Him, offer Him a welcome in your mind.
Throw wide the gate of your heart,
stand before the sun of the everlasting light.

The light shines in the darkness,
and the darkness has not overcome it.
|
| John 1:5 |

|
Just as the darkness
does not go away unless the light is present,
so the disease of the soul is not banished
unless He who takes away our infirmities comes
and unites Himself to us.

You are the light of the world.
A city set on a hill cannot be hid.
|
| Jesus; Matthew 5:14 |
| |
|
Do not say, 'It is impossible for me to influence others.'
If you are a Christian it is impossible for this not to happen.
|
|
St. John Chrysostom, 4th century
