25th Week in Ordinary Time, Year I

Luke 8:16-18

Friends, today's Gospel is *the parable of the lamp, which placed on a
lampstand gives light to all. **Light obviously isn't for itself. Rather,
we see things by it. *It illuminates things upon which it shines.



*We are light by which people around us come to see what is worth seeing. *
By the very quality and integrity of our lives, we shed light, illumining
what is beautiful and revealing what is ugly. The clear implication is that
without vibrant Christians the world is a much worse place. Let me
illustrate this principle with an example. *One of the most painful truths
of the last century is that the weakness of Christian witness allows some
of the worst elements in society to flourish.*



Think of* the rise of the evil powers that created WWII. **Christianity **had
become so weak, so uncompelling, so attenuated that great evil was allowed
to flourish. *Yes indeed there were a handful of powerful Christian
resisters, but *let's face it:* *the overwhelmingly vast majority of
**Christians
**either supported Hitler or remained in silence, either out of fear or
indifference.*
