Light finds its greatest contrast against dark textures. And so often, we come to Jesus—the Lord of Light— when we find ourselves in the darkest corners. Most of us grip Jesus more tightly in the dark. Not because the light is absent, but because we finally notice how much we need it. As you reflect on this year… Where did you experience Christ’s light in the darkest pockets of 2025? What was a shadowed moment when God faithfully chose to shine? Please see attached liturgy.
