“I am the Light of the World. He who follows Me, walks not in darkness” (John 8:12). We know that Jesus wants everyone to walk in His Light; however, so many people live in darkness.
Some have never known the Light. Some knew it once, a long time ago, but let the Light go out of their lives. Others have only a tiny bit of the Light left in their hearts.
Yet, Jesus calls to them, to come to the Light. How it must sadden His Sacred Heart to know that so many still live in the dark. He wants His consecrated Parish Visitors of Mary Immaculate to help these people, to bring the Light to those living in darkness.
How often we Parish Visitors have been able to help others to see the Light, to live in the Light, to pass the Light on to children! What a beautiful privilege we have!
Does this strike a chord in your heart? If so, is Jesus calling you to come and bring the Light to those who don’t know Him, along with us?
Come and get better acquainted with the Parish Visitors! This might be exactly the place where Jesus the Light will burn brighter in your own heart and where you can bring many others closer to Him!
Do not be afraid! Pray for the grace to know His will, and the courage to go ahead and follow!
Our contemplative prayer life is an essential part of our community charism. It gives consolation to Jesus for those away from Him, and it also gives our words the power to touch hearts.
Sharing community life with others who have the same ideals strengthens our desire to love God more deeply and to help others. It includes having fun, also!
May you and your family have a very blessed and peaceful Christmas, and may He give you the grace to follow Him!
Joyfully in Jesus,
Sister Dolores Marie
