A Great Light
The crowds that flock to Jesus are drawn to his light. They recognize that, in Jesus, truth and goodness walk among them. By healing and casting out demons Jesus incarnates God’s kingdom; he brings it about in the midst of the people. Today he shares his Spirit with all who follow him so that we might be healed of whatever afflicts us and remain with God forever. Make a list of things that cause people to suffer. Use this list to pray for healing and peace in our world. Today’s Readings: 1 John 3:22—4:6; Psalm 2:7bc–8, 10–12a; Matthew 4:12–17, 23–25.
