Feast of the Light 2008

Dear Friends from Faith and Light,



Today, we celebrate the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord. From the point of view of the (catholic) liturgy, it is not such an important feast. After all, it is “only” a Feast and not a Solemnity like the Epiphany or the Annunciation. It suits us and it is probably better that way. It helps us to remain poor, small, humble... It is appropriate – it seems to me - that we have taken this day to be the feast of Faith and Light. Or has it been given to us?




I shall be celebrating “our” feast with the communities of Brussels. During the evening mass (6 PM Belgian time), we shall have a special prayer for the great F&L family, all around the world. On this day, let us rejoice and be thankful for the gift of F&L. Let us also pray that the light and the strength received may be shared with many more disabled persons, parents, and friends, especially mothers “whose soul has been pierced by a sword”.

May the Lord Jesus give you all peace, joy, light!

Fr. Guy
International Chaplain
