Light affects us in many different ways. This can include the quality of health. God created Light first, seeing that it is good. Light is also associated with glory. Jesus declared he is the Light of the World, during a festival before many people.

There is truth in the phrase "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life". It is important that false teachings do not creep their way into the Church.

We must hold fast to Jesus' declaration.

Remember... Remember that first love you had with Jesus.
