Be Light (2)
This is not only a star, which guided the Magi to Bethlehem. This is a Light, the Light, which now guides the heart and mind of men who do not hide your eyes to not see it ... But God is the highest light, inaccessible, ineffable, that mind can not understand that words can not express that enlightens every rational nature. It is in the spiritual realities that the sun is among the sensible things: the more we purify ourselves, the more he shows us, the more he shows us, the more we love, the more we love, the more we grasp with the mind. He contemplates and includes himself, and it spreads out somewhat. (read more ) This light which I speak is one that allows itself to contemplate in the Father, Son and Holy Spirit (...) in the unique ray of the splendor (St. Gregory Nazianzen, Oratio 40 on baptism 5).
It is this light that we participate, and "in the midst of a wicked and depraved, you shine like stars in the world" (Philippians 5, 15). We are not the model. The unique model is Jesus Christ. But since each of us is a star, he must play the role of the Star of the East lead and also those whom we meet at Jesus, for they love and make him the gift of life. Let's play. For us to truly be a light on! So that in doing good, all the good that we can find other and recognize the true Good, God among us, and they welcome him with joy and gratitude in their lives.
