DIWALI: THE FEAST OF LIGHT

Today in India our Hindu brethren celebrate Diwali. The feast of light. Diwali holds significance for Hindus as it symbolizes the victory of good over evil, light over darkness, and happiness over sorrow.

Light dispels the Darkness. Jesus says ‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.’” -John 8:12

He came to dispel the darkness from human heart, fought against evil in the society. Tried to give joy to the world.

the  Same work he assigned us when he said Matthew 5:14: You are the light of the world......16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

Today we pray to God that we realize always .... As St Paul says  " You are all children of the light and children of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness. 1 Thessalonians 5:5

We ask pardon from the lord when we lived as the sons of darkness.
