FAITH BOOK

1 Samuel 16: 1b, 6-7, 10-13a; Psalm 23; Ephesians 5: 8-14; John 9: 1-41

From today’s Ephesians’ reading:

Brothers and sisters:

You were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord.

Live as children of light, for light produces every kind of goodness and righteousness and truth.

Reflection:

Paul reminds us that Christ does not merely improve our lives; he transforms our very identity. We were not simply “in” darkness – we were darkness itself, shaped by sin and fear.

Now, in the Lord, we are light, called to reveal God’s goodness in the world.

To live as children of light means letting our daily choices shine with truth, justice, and mercy. 

So, we ask ourselves:

·        Where in my life do I still act as though I belong to darkness rather than to Christ’s light? 

·        How do my words and actions reveal (or obscure) God’s goodness and truth? 

·        What concrete step can I take this week to live more clearly as a child of light?
