A Personal Reflection from Fr. Brian:
Light is something we take for granted sometimes. We assume that the sun will come up each day and that it will set at night because it has always done so. Just as the sun rises and sheds its light to give our world light, so too it is with us human beings. We have people who rise up to be lights for us and to show us the way to the Father. Without those who have gone before us and those who continue to be lights for us, we wouldn’t know how to be lights for others. People either show us the way by the way they live their lives or they don’t. I believe it was President George H.W. Bush who described 1,000 points of light in his vision of the country. Each one of us can be a point of light for another. And, another can be a point of light for us.
We don’t have to live in a solar eclipse all of our lives. Let us give thanks for all those who have been a point of light for us and do our best to be a point of light for others. Amen!
Blessings, pono and pule!
