The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
Night, and day opens us to the thought that we view life with greater transparency when our vision is not tainted by negative perceptions of our fellow traveller's behaviour, apparently at odds with our own ideas. A flowing stream of constructive life pulsates through the heart of the person living at one with Our Father, providing a healing touch for those of us in need of His assistance opening a path for us to walk safely in His light. In those moments, those periods in our life when The Father begins to counsel us, we learn that we are as flawed as the next person, needing Our Father's help shepherding us through darkness often clouding our understandings.
No one can be saved without divine light. Divine light causes us to begin and to make progress, and it leads us to the summit of perfection. Therefore if you want to begin and to receive this divine light, pray. If you have begun to make progress and want this light to be intensified within you, pray. And if you have reached the summit of perfection, and want to be super-illumined so as to remain in that state, pray.
~ Angela of Foligno
Where to begin? Acknowledging that we know nothing is the place, and time when Our Father knocks on our door asking us to let Him enter into our daily life's journey...lead, Kindly Light.
To the Church in Laodicea
…19 Those I love, I rebuke and discipline. Therefore be earnest and repent. 20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in and dine with him, and he with Me. 21 To the one who overcomes, I will grant the right to sit with Me on My throne, just as I overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.… ~ Apocalypse 3 Berean Standard Bible
