I find the words about God written by John to be beyond beautiful. There is depth that cannot be "buted".The Light is where we know God and where we can commit ourselves.  We are liars if we deny this Truth and sinners if we fail to keep God in our minds to govern our words and deeds. We sinners, however, need not be afraid because there is always present the Jesus/Holy Spirit to plead for us, to lead us back to the Light through the Mercy won for us by  the Crucifixion of Jesus the Son of God.

Dear Lord let me always keep your Glory and teaching through the life of the Incarnation always in mind. let me not resist the promptings of conscience and do your will in all things. 

The mission of Jesus is an open book to those who are able to accept themselves as his children for they have been chosen by the Father. He is not here to inspire the great thoughts of scholars but to show us a simple way to Eternal Life by following his unburdensome Way . His way is easy for us to follow as his Cross has bought for us a "light Yoke" to guide us.

Dear Lord let me never forget that Jesus is, by his resurrected presence, guiding me on the way to Life.
