4th SUMDAY OF LENT

In Search of Light 
By Br. Jose Nico Apa, OP 

“Well, you only need the light when it’s burning low, only miss the sun when it starts to snow, only know you love her when you let her go. Only know you’ve been high when you’re feeling low, only hate the road when you’re missing home, only know you love her when you let her go...”

These lyrics came from the song entitled “Let her Go” by Passengers. We only see the importance of things once we don’t have them anymore. When we have them, we take them for granted; we don’t pay them much attention--just like the gospel in this Sunday. The reading talks about the Light which symbolizes Christ. The Light has come to the world but people love the darkness rather than the Light. Most of us right now do not pay much attention to this Light but once when it is no longer with us we will find ourselves looking for it. We may be enjoying darkness right now, but a life without light has no direction. We need the Light to lead our way

The gospel in this Sunday reminds us that we should give our full attention to this Light, rather than just keep on ignoring It. Because once we give It our attention, I’m sure that Light will be with us forever, we will never be run out of light
