Cathedral of St. Peter

Be Light 

                Over the last several months we have had a group of dedicated, and determined parishioners, working to restore the lights around the exterior of the church.  We have also worked to fix some of the parking lot and security lights.  Not only does this add to the beauty of our building, but creates a climate of safety.  So, we are that place of God, set on a hill, called to be light to our neighbors.  To be sure our call is not only in the literal sense but in the spiritual and charitable sense as well.

                The Prophet Isaiah spoke, “The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; upon those who dwelt in the land of gloom a light has shone.”  The promise of the coming of Jesus Christ is a promise of goodness and salvation.  The Church is tasked with conveying the light of Christ to all peoples; especially those who wander in the valleys of darkness. 

                Christianity is about light. Just as Jesus is light to the world, so his church is to be light in a world of darkness.  Just in the last few months, we have had the Giving Tree, collected food for the food pantry, collected for St Elizabeth’s Social Center, and donated to Carpenter’s Place.  With Jesus Christ, we are entrusted with lifting people up out of darkness; offering them hope and healing.

                If we are to discover God it is by doing good things because they are good to do.  Then our light will shine upon all who are neighbors to us.
