They came forth from darkness seeking the light that would dispel darkness. Perhaps it was the prophet, John. Or perhaps it was Jesus, called in scripture, the “light of the world.”In a sense each of us comes out of darkness into light, from religious infancy to a more mature faith, from the dim light of a catechism, and the confusions of religious pluralism, to a place of hope in our imposing secular world.
