From Fr. Davy’s Desk:

"Let your light shine before men" (Mt. 5:16). The readings this weekend give us the
image of light. The ancient philosopher Aristotle wrote that of all the five senses we
possess, sight is the most valued. By the sense of sight, we understand most about
the world. By their nature, human beings see and understand. That is why phrases
like 'I see' can refer to both physical sight and to understanding something.

The glory of the Lord shines throughout the Old Testament, and is finally and fully
revealed in the glorious light of the resurrection of Jesus. In the gospel reading, Jesus
links the idea of the visibility of a city on a hilltop, with a light shining to illuminate a
room. The invitation of today's scripture readings is to be illuminated ourselves. By
grace we can participate in the light of God, and can become means of spreading that
light to others.

The gift which God gives us especially to become enlightened through his grace is
faith. By faith our intellect is strengthened and raised up. This is a breath-taking and
awesome gift. Regardless of whether we are physically sighted or not, whether we
are academically gifted or not, the gift of faith helps us see and understand
supernatural saving realities, even on this earth.

Our role as Christians is to receive the light of Christ and radiate it to people all
around us, in the form of love, kindness, mercy, forgiveness and humble ser-
vice. Prophet Isaiah through the first reading today reminds us to share our bread,
shelter, clothe, etc. with others who lack them. With a little bit of Christ’s Light, we
become a lighthouse illuminating my life and others.

Let us pause for a moment and ask ourselves whether the light we received is
dispelling darkness and giving light to all around me. Let Christ’s light shine upon us.
Happy Valentine’s Day!

Mensaje del Padre Davy:
"Brille la luz de ustedes ante los hombres" (Mt. 5:16). Las lecturas de este domingo
nos dan la imagen de la luz. El antiguo filósofo Aristóteles escribió que de los cinco
sentidos que poseemos, la vista es más valorada. Por el sentido de la vista,
entendemos más sobre el mundo. Por la vista vemos y entendemos.

La gloria del Señor brilla en todo el Antiguo Testamento, y finalmente se revela a la
luz gloriosa de la resurrección de Jesús. En la lectura del evangelio, Jesús vincula la
idea de la visibilidad de una ciudad en la cima de una colina, con una luz que ilumina
una habitación. La invitación de las lecturas de las Escrituras de hoy es para
iluminarnos nosotros mismos. Por gracia podemos participar en la luz de Dios, y
 podemos convertirnos en medios para difundir esa luz a otros.

El don que Dios nos da especialmente para iluminarnos a través de su gracia es la
fe. Por fe nuestro intelecto se fortalece. Este es un regalo maravilloso. Independien-
temente de si somos videntes físicamente o no, si somos académicamente dotados o
no, el don de la fe nos ayuda a ver y comprender las realidades sobrenaturales, in-
cluso en esta tierra.

Nuestra vocación como cristianos es recibir la luz de Cristo e irradiarla a las
personas que nos rodean, en forma de amor, bondad, misericordia, perdón y servicio
humilde. El profeta Isaías, a través de la primera lectura de hoy, nos recuerda que
compartamos nuestro pan, refugio, ropa, etc. con otros que no los tienen. La próxima
semana, mientras alimentamos a los pobres y las personas sin hogar, compartiremos
y usaremos nuestros talentos para los demás. Con un poco de la Luz de Cristo, nos
convertimos en un faro que ilumina mi vida y la de los demás.

Hagamos una pausa por un momento y preguntémonos si la luz que recibimos está
disipando la oscuridad y dando luz a todo lo que me rodea. Deje que la luz de Cristo
brille sobre nosotros. ¡Feliz día de San Valentín!
