4th Week of Easter, Wednesday, 18-05-11

Acts 12:24 - 13:5 / John 12:44-50

One of the most prominent figures in the book of the Acts of the Apostles is St. Paul.

The story of St. Paul is indeed an interesting one.

The light that shone on him on the road to Damascus seemed to have put him on the spot-light wherever he went.

Yet we know that St. Paul's prominence was not because of something he did.

Rather it was by the light of Christ and by the power of the Holy Spirit that he was able to accomplish such great missionary works.

And the light of Christ continues to shine on us.

The light of Christ shines in us and through us.

The light of Christ shines in us to give us the vision of the eternal life that is promised to us.

St. Paul kept his focus on the light of Christ that was guiding him and hence he was able to perform great and mighty works for the Lord.

May we too focus on the light of Christ and keep walking in the way towards eternal life.
