PODCAST | Connected to Jesus, Light of the World
In this meditation, Fr. Peter Armenio guides us to reflect on Jesus’ declaration, “I am the light of the world” (John 8:12), and how we are called to radiate his light in the world.
Living out the Gospel and being a light in the world is not about moralizing or winning theological arguments, but about being a genuine reflection of Christ through our love, words, and deeds. Therefore, Fr. Peter encourages us to connect to Jesus, the power source of light, through prayer and a personal relationship, through which he can shine light in our darkness and give joy and meaning to our lives.
(Please note: This meditation was recorded live during a spiritual retreat for women.)
