December 21: O Oriens, O Radiant Dawn

O Radiant Dawn, 
splendor of eternal light, sun of justice:
Come, shine on those who dwell in darkness
and the shadow of death.

The unknown, even if it is a good thing, can be scary. Being 'in the dark' makes us uneasy: what's the truth, where's the danger, what's going to happen next???? We yearn for the security that lets us sleep soundly through the night, rather than cowering against the shadows and noises of our fears and concerns.
  • In what way can the light of the Gospel illuminate the dark corners of your life?
  • In what way can you be light and warmth for someone in need?
