John 1 1-18

All that came to be had life in him.
And this life was the light of men.
Through the East window I seemed to see the sun rise over the earth’s rim.
The light changed from grey to iridescent orange in the count of ten.

At mass today my heart awakened during the reading of John One.
In the beginning was the word and this was belief’s beginning.
For me this spiritual light came from this word and shone more fiercely than the Sun.
Slowly, imperceptibly conviction grew during the reading.

This physical light is dimming.
But the spiritual light stays.
One is fitful passing.
But for the other, eternal are it’s rays.

No darkness can ever overpower it.
Give us strength to witness it.
