No one who lights a lamp conceals it!
September 20, 2021
Saints Andrew Kim Tae-gon and Paul Chong Ha-sang and Companions
Dear Family of Mary!
Today
we celebrate these courageous martyrs - Saints Andrew Kim Tae-gon and
Paul Chong Ha-sang and Companions! Their witness to Jesus cost them
their lives, but their light continues to shine upon the world even
today. Jesus speaks about this kind of light in our Gospel for today.
It is the light that shines through our witness to Him and His love.
Luke 8:16-18
Jesus
said to the crowd: “No one who lights a lamp conceals it with a vessel
or sets it under a bed; rather, he places it on a lampstand so that
those who enter may see the light. For there is nothing hidden that will
not become visible, and nothing secret that will not be known and come
to light. Take care, then, how you hear. To anyone who has, more will be
given, and from the one who has not, even what he seems to have will be
taken away.”
Jesus
tells us that our lives are like lamps. What we do and how we live
eventually will be seen by all. And therefore we must become the light
of His truth, so that our light will give witness to Jesus and be a
blessing for all who see it. The alternative is that our lives will
betray Jesus and spread darkness. It is up to us to embrace Jesus'
light and live it now, so that we will shine brightly for those who come
after us, leading them into the Kingdom.
Our
Lady has asked us many times in her messages to be the light for
everyone, those who witness to the light of her Son in every situation.
Here is one message:
June
5, 1986 "Dear children! Today I am calling on you to decide whether or
not you wish to live the messages which I am giving you. I wish you to
be active in living and spreading the messages. Especially, dear
children, I wish that you all be the reflection of Jesus, which will
enlighten this unfaithful world walking in darkness. I wish all of you
to be the light for everyone and that you give witness in the light.
Dear children, you are not called to the darkness, but you are called to
the light. Therefore, live the light with your own life. Thank you for
having responded to my call."
May
we live the light with our own lives, as Our Lady asks! She will help
us each day to become brighter and brighter lights for those who need to
see! Mother please help us to live this message with all our hearts!
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!
