Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time

God said, “Let there be light,” and there it was! This was the Big Bang! This weekend’s Gospel calls us to be light. God’s love exploded in light, and sparks of that light continue in every creature. The light of evolution continues in us in whom love is evolving. Every moment we have an opportunity to continue the light and love that will one day unite every creature in God. Do we let our light and love evolve? Do we look for new ways to express love?  Imagine Jesus inviting you to join with him in transforming the world with the evolutionary power of love and light. We sing the popular song, “Christ, Be Our Light.” Imagine God singing to us, “You, be my light.”
