Light shines in the darkness for the upright, the psalmist sings. Isaiah declares that
when we loose the bonds of injustice and share our bread with the hungry, the light
breaks forth like the dawn. In another passage from the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus,
the light of the world, calls his followers to let the light of their good works shine before
others. Through baptism we are sent into the world to shine with the light of Christ.
