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
