We are called to be part of God's community. Jesus told us that the two greatest commandments were to love God and to love one another. In this love, we are called to God and to each other. In this love, we are called to be part of a community.
In sin, we separate ourselves from God and the community of our Lord and savior. Jesus told us that all of God's commandments and all of the law are derived from these two greatest of commandments. It is a simple guide that if what we do hurts another, we hurt God's community. If we hurt God's community, we have also acted as if we acted directly against God.
The light is to stand in union with God and the community of God's church. The darkness is to stand separate from the Lord and separate from the community of the Lord's church. Sin keeps us in darkness, but it is the forgiveness of the Lord that brings us back to the light.
Lord, in my weakness, I have sinned, in my own faults, in my own words, in what I have done and what I have failed to do. Lord, I am not worthy to receive you, but only say the word and I shall be healed and brought out of the darkness and into the light.
Dear Mary, and all the Saints, and all my brothers and sisters in the community of the Lord, pray for me to the Lord our God that my sins be set aside, that I may join in the peace and Love of the Lord. Amen.
Nam Eno
