We need the light of Christ so we don't fall into darkness

I came into the world as light, that whoever believes in me will not remain in darkness “ (John 12, 46).

Let the light of heaven come, let the light of Christ in, let the light coming from above come into our hearts. The figure of speech serves to illustrate how much we need and how much it is needed in our life.

See, you getting up at dawn to go to the bathroom or do something in your House, if there is no light, what sadness there will be! You will stumble, fall, get hurt. It’s dangerous;  worse things happen because without light we fall, stumble, and even we may die, because we’re going down in the depths of life if we lack light.

We cannot allow our heart to walk in the darkness. We have two eyes that allow us to see so many things, but my eyes are open to the things of the world and the soul is locked in darkness and in the shadows of life.

Christ comes to tell us that He is the light of the world and whoever is led by Him doesn’t walk in the midst of the darkness. The darkness is the disasters that the world produces in our heart and soul.

The light comes on in serenity, there’s no point in keeping the heart shaken, overwhelmed, full of unrest, of frivolity, of things that we’re taking here and there.

You need to soothe and calm the heart, let it enter that deeper stage of inner silence, so that light enters our soul, our being and lights so many things that are in the shadows of our soul, in hiding places of our heart; so many things that our unconscious stored and brought us  many afflictions.

We live true darkness where the soul and spirit dwells, we live in fear, anxiety, due to our aggressive behavior and, sometimes, we wonder why we react so, for our way of being so often is distressed.

We need the light of Christ so we don’t fall or walk in the darkness, to not let that take care of our interior. Let us open our hearts, our minds, our lives and allow the light of Christ to illuminate our entire being.

God bless you!
