The Three Gifts of Light

Mary

My heart is filled with every light. Whoever enters is immediately touched by that light.

First, they see how many times they have acted in darkness. They understand the foolishness of their decisions. They have been like Esau.

They have sold their baptismal inheritance for a bowl of soup. They repent of their sins and seek pardon.

As they enter more deeply, my light penetrates their being. They see their selfishness in relationships and their poor choices. They have fished all night in the darkness and have caught nothing of value. My light reveals what to do so their lives have true value.

Now, I come to the greatest gift. In my light, they will see my Son, Jesus, and the great love he has for them. They will come to know him and the power of his resurrection. Anyone who abides in my light will become a new person, putting away the deeds and feelings of darkness.
