A Brief Homily
Jesus reminds us that we are the light of the world. Just as a lamp is placed on a stand, our faith should be visible in our daily lives. We should not hide our love for God but share it through kindness, honesty, and service. The first reading encourages us to draw near to God with confidence and to encourage one another in faith. If we listen to God and act on His word, He will bless us with more wisdom and grace. Let us shine brightly, sharing God’s love so others may also see His goodness in us.
