“I am the light of the world, says the Lord; whoever follows me will have the light of life.” Jn 8:12
This Gospel Acclamation precedes the Gospel that presents what Jesus said to his disciples.. “You are the light of the world.” You who follow Jesus are meant to let your life shine the light of Jesus Christ by doing good in this world so that others may “glorify your heavenly Father.” That was the mission of Jesus who poured out his love for all the world, and it is meant to be shared by you. The light of your life is Jesus. Shine your light.
Petition:
That we may shine our light in the love of Jesus as we serve others and glorify God, we pray….
