Friday of the 3rd week of Advent
Gospel – John 5:33-36
“John was a lamp alight and shining”. And Jesus is the source of this light. Being united to the source of light is the way to keep our light aflame. He was united to the source of light by his testimony to the truth. “…he gave his testimony to the truth”. It’s our testimony to the truth that connects us to the source of light and it’s then we began to shine in the darkness. Our testimony to truth comes when we have true love in us. Our testimony to truth comes when we can enjoy the true love of God in prayer. Our testimony to truth comes when we can see the best in others. Advent is the time to be a light by giving testimony to truth.
