LIGHT OF NEW LIFE
‘Light gives of itself freely filling all available space.
It does not seek anything in return;
It asks not whether you are friend or foe.
It gives of itself and is not thereby diminished.’
Michael Strassfield
Reflection: God created the light and darkness… a very special light dawned on the morning of the resurrection. Christ rose triumphantly from the tomb. That light has flickered for over 2000 years and triumphs again this Easter. Let your light shine, let it shine, let it shine! Happy Easter!
