Homily for the Monday of the Fifth Week of Lent

As Christians, we are called to shine forth with the same life, joy, hope and love that Christ, the light of the world, brings to humanity. Through our words, and more so our actions, we become living testimonies to others of this beautiful kinship with the Father and His beloved Son. Amidst the brokenness around and within us, let us not forget to see and use this light to uplift the spirits of our brothers and sisters. As we glow with God’s love, let us help make others recognize that they too bear within them the power to shine forth.
