BE A LIGHT
The people who walk in darkness have seen a dazzling brightness. A great light has dawned in the east, mocking the sun and the moon, putting the stars of heaven Christ the Lord. “In his light we see light”. Enter without pretensions into this joyful encounter with Him. Myriad little lamps illumining millions of our homes proclaim the festival of lights. We rejoice with all the people of our land and bring to the altar our own little lamps.
The Hindu tradition reveals an underlying theme: Diwali is rejoicing at the victory of good over the forces of evil. For us Christians, Christ is the true light who came to dispel darkness. It is in His light, we see light. In His light, there is no darkness. Bask in its shadow it is brighter than sun. As we have gathered around this Eucharistic table let us pray that this light of Christ may fill our house and soul, purify it of dross and decay, equipping us with everything that is good through Jesus Christ. Let us also pray for our Hindu brethren who celebrate their festival during this Eucharistic celebration.
