An ancient rabbi once asked his pupils how they could tell when the night had ended and the day was on its way back.

"When you see an animal in the distance and can tell what kind of animal it is" answered one pupil.

"No" replied the rabbi.

"When you see a tree in the distance and can tell what kind of tree it is" replied another.

"No" answered the rabbi.

"Well then" his pupils asked "how can we tell when night has ended and day has arrived?"

"It is when you look into the face of another man or woman and see that he or she is your brother or sister. If you can't do this, no matter what time it is, it is still night."

Jesus is the Light of the World and the most important thing we can do is to let His light shine by "loving God with all our heart, with all our soul, with all our mind, and with all our strength." And "Loving our neighbor as our self."
