This week’s Sermon<br />
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,<br />
In today’s gospel reading we see Christ talking<br />
to his disciples and explaining their mission in<br />
life. In the past, we have said that meaning is<br />
very important in life.<br />
We have said that without meaning we lose our<br />
way in life. Every one of us has a unique purpose in life.<br />
Different stages of our life have different meanings, but we also have a<br />
common meaning and a purpose in life. No matter how old we get we still desire<br />
more life. Life is the goal of our existence and Christ came and offered exactly<br />
that. He offered us abundant life.<br />
He also said that he is the light of the world and that without Him we will<br />
be sitting in darkness. But today dear brothers and sisters He has something even<br />
more special for us.<br />
We know that he is the life and the light of the world but today he talks to<br />
his disciples and in fact, he is talking to us and tells us that we are the light of<br />
the world. This is a great honor but also a huge responsibility. He calls us to be<br />
his disciples. The Christianity we know mostly is about worship.<br />
We come to church we light our candles we sit in the pews we listen to<br />
the prayers of the Liturgy and the sermon and we go back home to our daily life.<br />
But Christ is asking more than that. He is asking us today to become his disciples<br />
and apostles in the world.<br />
He wants us to be illuminated with his light and shine in the world. He<br />
wants us to keep his commandments, but he also wants us to teach others by the<br />
example of our lives.<br />
Amen.
