Dear Friend in the Lord,
“Living the Faith”: In today’s Gospel, Jesus used the “Parable of the Lamp” to proclaim our need to witness our faith with courage, integrity and passion. Ponder on, “Are we timid and passive in sharing our faith experiences and speaking about God? Set aside time to learn about the faith and be proud of it.
Fr Philip Heng, S.J.
Mark 4:21-25
Jesus said to the crowd, ‘Is a lamp brought in to be put under a tub or under the bed? Surely to be put on the lamp-stand? For there is nothing hidden, but it must be disclosed, nothing kept secret except to be brought to light. Anyone who has ears for listening should listen!’
He also said to them, ‘Take notice of what you are hearing. The standard you use will be used for you — and you will receive more besides; anyone who has, will be given more; anyone who has not, will be deprived even of what he has.’
