Evening: Psalms 110:1-7, 116, 117; John 8:12-20
Jesus said, “I am the light of the world.” “Make of yourself a light,” said the dying Buddha. Aretha Franklin, buried yesterday, was called “a beacon of humanity.” John McCain, whose funeral is today, said America should be a "beacon of liberty”. Many believe light overcomes the darkness of evil. This evil should not be confused with the ‘dark night of the soul’, an often-painful time of soulful self-encounter where many people confront evil and come more fully into their lives. Light shines most beautifully through the best of our humanity, especially in those who have faced down the darkness.
