In the same way, there is nothing hidden that shall not be uncovered; nothing kept secret, that
shall not be known clearly. Now, pay attention and listen well, for whoever p 76628 roduces,
will be given more; but from those who do not produce, even what they seem to have will be
taken away from them.”
Reflect
“Jesus is the Light.” As we pray for miraculous healing, we are also called to emulate Padre Pio's
example of a life of holiness that exudes grace even amid pains and sufferings. Today’s Gospel
exhorts us to place the lamp that we have lit in the lampstand and not under the bed so that
people coming in may see the light. We do not have any other light but Jesus. Our devotion
must always point to Jesus, only to Jesus. This is what the great saints, like Santo Padre Pio,
discovered. The life of the saints shone not because of their own lights but because of the Light
who is Jesus. Jesus is the Light that enlightens every dark corner of our life, providing us the
necessary healing. He is the Light that enables us to lead a life of grace even amidst the
pains and sufferings brought by sickness. With Jesus, our Light, we might be physically
sick but we will always be spiritually healthy. We shall lead a gracious life even amidst
sufferings and pains.
