What does it mean to live in the light? (Fr. Ron Rolheiser)


    We’re called to live in the light, but we tend to have an overly romantic idea of what that should mean. We tend to think that to live in the light means that there should be a kind of special sunshine inside of us, a divine glow in our conscience, a sunny joy inside us that makes us constantly want to praise God, and ambience of sacredness surrounding our attitude. But that’s unreal. What does it mean to live in the light? 
    
    To live in the light means to live in honesty, pure and simple, to be transparent, to not have part of us hidden as a dark secret. 

--Fr. Ron Rolheiser, OMI
