Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the Light of the world; he that followeth Me shall not walk in Darkness, but shall have the Light of Life.
O Christ! true Light of the Soul, Your Christian Sun shines on us and Your Kindness is renewed every Morning. In You we find true Mercy and our Worries are forgotten.
Awaken me from my sinful Slumber, for You are my Light. Create a new Life in me. You have given the World the Sun that fills us with Delight and Hope, and You surely renew me every Day.
Without the Sun no Light can be seen. Without God’s radiant Light, no Man can see Christ, Who waters our Hearts with the heavenly Rain of His Teaching. Lord, think of me and grant me this Rain.
Gaze on me with Your friendly Countenance, so that the Spirit of my Soul may be refreshed, and desire to taste the sweet Joy of Heaven. There is nothing else that could bring so much Bliss.
Take away my Pride, the lust for worldly Pleasures, and Vanity for mere Appearances sake. Lord, make me detest the World’s Delights that lead to destruction. Those Values all lead to eternal Death.
Jesus! my Joy, always remain my Light, until there dawns that Day when all Suffering ceases. I will happily wear my Robe of White and without ceasing, sing Praises to God for ever! Amen.
