UNITY is lighting up the darkness together

Your light must shine before people… so that they will praise your Father .  ~ Matthew 5:16

Some villages in India are totally without electricity.  People use tiny oil lamps, much like those used in Jesus’ time, to light their homes. 

The temple in one of these rural villages has a large frame hanging from its ceiling.  Cut into the frame are a hundred slots into which tiny oil lamps can be placed. 

When the people go there after dark, they carry their oil lamps from their homes to guide them through the darkness.  Upon arriving in the temple, they place their lamp in one of the slots.  By the time the last villager arrives, the darkness has been dispelled and in its place is a glorious sea of light.
~ Mark Link, S.J.

What keeps you from becoming the spark of light that we Knights have pledged to create to dispel the darkness in our world?

Every believer in this world must become a spark of light. 
~ Pope John XXIII
