To know God is to obey Him. Christ’s intimacy with the Father was revealed in perfect obedience. His Word pierces hearts, softens stone, and leads us into the light of eternal life.

“The candles lit during the Gospel reading are not to dispel darkness, but to show our joy in the Gospel, as the wise virgins’ lamps shone. ‘Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.’” – St. Jerome
