The Light of the World
“Lord, that I may see.” Lord, that we may know and acknowledge that there is no salvation
except by sharing the suffering and the cross of Christ. If we would be saved, we must accompany
Him not only to the cenacle, but also to the Mount of Olives, to the hall of scourging, and
to Calvary. “Lord, that I may see” that penance and self-discipline are proper to the true servant
of God and are the only true mark of the follower of Christ.
“Lord that I may see.” This is our prayer today for ourselves and for all the children of Holy
Mother the Church. What we need most is a love of the cross, of penance, of self-control, and
of self-sacrifice.
Prayer
Graciously hear our prayers, we beseech Thee, O Lord, and guard us from all adversity, who
have been loosened from the bonds of sin. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
