2024 Homilies
3-10
Satan loves the darkness.
It is where he works.
His tools are lies, deceit, and trickery; things that are only effective in darkness.
////
In our Gospel, Jesus uses the images of light and darkness to show the reality of our world.
Darkness is not something created, it comes about as an absence of light.
Darkness happens when a creature withdraws from God: pushing the light away, brings about darkness.
////
We see how this works in our own lives.
We were made to be communal creatures, connected to God and to each other.
When we withdraw from those relationships, things break apart.
Secrets divide us, depression grows through isolation, aggression heightens with discord.
Sin begins with disunity.
////
When God enters into our lives, it is as light shining in the darkness.
Secrets are exposed, lies are uncovered, and the difficult work of healing broken relationships, begins.
/
Again, we have seen this in our own lives.
Those little feelings that something isn't right, the anxiety that comes creeping in as the euphoria of sin wears away.
That's God speaking to us, calling us to leave the darkness, and enter the light.
/
To rekindle that relationship with Him.
God gives us perfect and complete attention at all times, and we begin to enter the light, by giving some of our attention back.
At mass, in confession, daily prayer, reading the scriptures, acts of service, learning about our faith.
In all those ways, we live in the light.
