En éste día, la liturgia nos propone tomar cirios encendidos e ir
al encuentro de Cristo. Iluminados, portadores de la luz, ilu-

Ante Jesucristo nadie puede quedar indiferente. El encuentro
con Él provoca ineludiblemente un posicionamiento, obliga a
tomar una decisión.
Hoy Jesucristo te ofrece su luz; tómala y decídete a iluminar tu
vida. Deja que tus obras resplandezcan. Opta por el camino que
lleva a la luz y rechaza las sombras de muerte. La decisión que
se toma ante la llamada de Cristo, descubre los sentimientos del
corazón.
