THE
MYSTERIES OF LIGHT
MYSTERIES OF LIGHT
Life also has its mysteries of light – moments when we see the light – breakthrough moments – moments when things dawn on us – finally.
Here are 5 mysteries and moments of light from the life of Jesus, the Light of the world, mysteries and moments we all go through as well:
1) The Baptism of Jesus: those moments when we realize we are a child of God – that we are beloved – as well as all those surrounding us in human family – called to be washed in the waters of life.
2) The Wedding at Cana: those moments when we felt empty – in our marriages – in our family – in our life – and we finally understand Mary’s words, “Do whatever he tells you!” and we do what Jesus asks us to do as good stewards and our life is filled to the brim again – sparkling with the new wine of life.
3) The Proclamation of the Kingdom: those moments in life when this earth’s boundaries disappear – and we glimpse what Jesus was about – the Kingdom now, the Kingdom within, the Kingdom that has no boundaries, the kingdom that is forever.
4) The Transfiguration: those mountain moments in life when we see through everything and all is light – and we see Christ the Light of the world in every sparkling moment – but we know these moments don’t last and we have to go back down into the everyday valleys of life.
5) Jesus Gives Us the Eucharist: those moments in life when we are eating at the family table as well as in church and we have the experience of being in communion and covenant with each other.
