The Light of God:

We are invited into relationship with God who loves us and is faithful to us even when the world around seems to fail. For it is in darkness that God’s light shines radiantly. Thus we must enter into the darkness to see the light.

No one of you should say, "Blessed are they who have deserved to receive Christ into their homes!" Do not grieve or complain that you were born in a time when you can no longer see God in the flesh. He did not in fact take this privilege from you. As he says, "Whatever you have done to the least of my brothers, you did to me."

- Saint Augustine
