Light from Dimness

I visited this Catholic church in a suburb of Boston.

    On the spur of the moment I entered a church.
    Nobody else was there. The lighting was dim. I knelt and prayed.
    Churches with dim interiors put me in a mood for worship.
    One day after my impromptu visit I attended mass elsewhere. The lector read from Ephesians: The light of Christ does not simply shine on us; it should shine out from inside us.
    Heeding that advice requires a change in outlook. Contemplation and prayer can foster such a change. 
    In order to become a light unto the world, spend time in dim and quiet places.
