In St Marks Gospel we read, "Now after John was arrested, Jesus came to Galilee, preaching the gospel of God and saying, “The time is fulfilled and the Kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe the Gospel.” (Mark 1:14-15)
And in St. Johns Gospel, Jesus says to Himself, “I am the light of the world; whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” (John 8:12)
“I have come as light into the world that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness.” (John 12:46)
MEDITATION:
Lord Jesus, through our sin we sit in darkness and in the shaddow of death. So many who once walked in your light, now walk in darkness. Jesus give to us and all our loved ones the grace to turn away from sin and turn back to you. And to all people everywhere come to hear the good news of your kingdom.
Dear heavenly father, please help all priests in this, so they to may be the beacon we are looking for, to show us the way. It is a heavy and loved burdon, but in all burdons, strength is needed to endure…please send all the graces you can to build up your helpers here on earth…for this i pray…

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen
