Be the Light of Christ

This Sunday is the last one of the church year. It is called Christ the King Sunday.  But he is not the kind of king we might expect. This king calls for our commitment to solidarity with and in suffering of all kind in this world.

As Leonard Cohen wrote, “There is a crack in everything. That’s how the light gets in.”  We are called to be the light of Christ. The light that sheds light on that which justifies and validates hatred and violence to expose it for what it is. The light that sheds light on those who have been ignored, overlooked, and silenced to disavow ignorance for good. The desperately needed ray of light that shines as a glimmer of hope for all and especially today.
