Do We Prefer Darkness to Light? There is an old story about a desert dweller
that woke up in the middle of the night
feeling very hungry. And so he lit a candle
and began ea"ng dates. He took a bite from
one and saw a worm in it; so he threw it out
of the tent. He bit into the second date,
found another worm, and so he threw that one away as well.
Then thinking to himself that if this con"nued in this way he
wouldn't have any dates le#. So he blew out the candle and
quickly ate the rest of the dates.
This story is pre+y gross, right? But isn't this exactly
what people do when they blow out the light of Christ in their
lives and choose to live in darkness? Such persons prefer to
live in darkness so they don’t have to see the "worms" in their
lives. They do not want to see the wrong or sinful things they
are doing. Jesus said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever
follows Me will have the light of life and will not walk in
darkness"
Let’s be honest and accept the fact that we too may
be doing things that we would rather not see, those nasty li+le
"worms" that we would have to throw out of our lives, if we
saw them for what they really are. Some of us may have
preferred to live in the darkness for many years, and yet the
Good News is that the light of Christ is available at any "me to
anyone who is willing to allow that light of goodness and truth
to shine in their lives.
A light that allows us to see clearly our tempta"ons,
weaknesses, faults and failings; those "mes we have treated
people poorly, even those we love; our selfish a'tudes; our
refusal to forgive or give a helping hand to someone. The
Light, Jesus, has come into the world not to bring us
condemna"on, but to bring us salva"on, not to rub our noses
in the wrong we do, but to help us see clearly so we can get rid
of them to be more like Christ.
This light of Christ is free, it allows us to change, it
brings hope, and it leads to forgiveness. The Light of Jesus
brings encouragement and strength in "mes of trouble and
sickness. Above all, it is a Light which is meant to guide us
along life’s journey to eventually bring us into eternal life.
Wherever there is darkness in our heart, in our family, in our
friendships, in our community, the light of Jesus comes to
shine on all these areas of our lives to bring us inner peace,
harmony, holiness and joy. Let us allow the light of Christ this
Lent to dispel the darkness of our lives.

FROM THE PRINCIPAL:
Due to the recent events in Parkland, Florida, there has
been a lot of discussion among parents, students, and school
personnel as to “what is our plan?” To help address some of the
concerns and discuss op"ons, we will be hos"ng a parent and
parish discussion about school safety on Mon., March 19th in the
church dining hall beginning at 6 pm. Having this discussion is very
important as the school and diocese con"nue to move forward
with updated plans. We need your opinions and feedback.
Developing plans together is vital for our success. As a parent, you
will want to a+end this discussion. I invite and ask all parents to
come and hear what we are planning and help us develop a plan
that will protect our children.
I will be out of the office beginning on March 9th and
returning March 19th. I will be having shoulder surgery. If you
need to get a hold of me you can contact me at 715-862-2229.
God bless, Jeff
