Fr. Dick’s Spiritual Reflection 10/21/2026
“LET THERE BE LIGHT”
On this day in 1879 Thomas Edison perfected the long lasting, workable light bulb. Imagine how that made our lives so much brighter!
Light is one of the best medicines for people who are in a darkened world. We have been invited by Jesus to be that special light for others. “You are the light of the world,” He says, as He places His confidence in us.
So, we can SEE better in a darkened world because of Thomas Edisons’s light bulb. The poor, the homeless, the alienated, the sick, the abandoned, the abused and the forgotten and neglected are not in a darkened world because of OUR light.
