“Ye are the light of the world” (Matthew 5:14), said the Lord to His disciples. And we, dear fathers, brothers and sisters, counting ourselves as among the disciples of Christ, are called to preach His Resurrection both with a good word and by the power of living according to the Gospel.
It is the fear of God — that is, sensing the Divine presence in our lives and walking reverently before God, fearing to grieve Him through sin — that leads to peace; for “the fear of the Lord”, as the Old Testament sage writes, “is glory and honor, happiness and the crown of joy."
