As the world moves deeper and deeper into a kind of Godless secularism, it loses more and more of God’s light. Today, it may not be evident to many, because traces of Christianity are still present in this world. But looking into the far future, man would soon lose the light that illuminates our true life.
Today, we can still speak about love. Yet more and more, that definition of love is being altered. Someday, people wouldn’t even know what it means. For as truth becomes more obscure, so would love, for they cannot be separated from each other.
Jesus Himself is the Light and the Truth. He is the embodiment of the God of Love. He came down from heaven and lived among us, but He was crucified because men preferred darkness over the light.
As we still live within His Light, let us give praise to Him who is the Source of all that is Good. Let us be ever vigilant as we safeguard the light of faith He has bestowed upon us.

Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
who put darkness for light,
and light for darkness;
who put bitter for sweet,
and sweet for bitter!
Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes,
and prudent in their own sight!
Woe to those…
who acquit the guilty for a bribe,
but deny justice for the innocent!
Therefore as the tongue of fire devours the stubble,
and as the dry grass sinks down in the flame,
so their root shall be as rottenness,
and their blossom shall go up as dust,
because they have rejected the law of the LORD of Armies,
and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
– Isaiah 5, WEB-BE
