See the light; spread the light

We need light in the darkness

We take light for granted

Middle ages - guilds donated candles to church, people brought their candles to church to be blessed

Light was a sign of God’s presence

Recognising the light

In the ordinary

Nothing unusual happened that day that anyone else noticed

Waiting and praying

Spreading the light

That light shone in a human child

incarnation - sharing our humanity, even the bits he didn’t need

Remember John’s prologue at the start of Christmas

Spread the light by living with Christ in the ordinary things of life

Speak light

Live light
