WONDERFUL LIGHT
You are a chosen race,
a royal priesthood,
a consecrated nation,
a people set apart to sing the praises of God
who called you out of darkness into his
WONDERFUL LIGHT.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

During Covid I remember walking in the fields behind our monastery and watching as dawn broke. As I stood in the brightness of that light I prayed that God’s power to heal would be manifest. I have always been drawn to morning light and during Covid the pull was stronger. Researchers tell us that morning light is beneficial in several ways for the human body. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love the idea of being called into God’s wonderful light. This is a light which invites me to step forward where I am and to see the world as God sees it. This light invites and doesn’t force. In this light I am beckoned forward. I don’t need to retreat. In this light hidden things can be revealed, a path can be illumined and what has grown cold can be warmed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How is God inviting you to step into his ‘wonderful light’?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
