A lights for the nations

“I formed you, and set you as a covenant of the people, a light for the nations, to open the eyes of the blind, to bring out prisoners from confinement, and from the dungeon, those who live in darkness.” (IS 42: 6-7)

Our Lord perfectly understands our lives, our conditions and our problems. He always wants to be “a light” for us. He “opens our eyes” when we are blind to truth or “live in darkness,” having no idea what to do or where to go; He frees us when we are confined in troubles. He protects us and leads us because only love directs us rightly.

“Hail to you, our King; you alone are compassionate with our faults.” (Gospel Acclamation)
