I will make you the light of the nations so that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth

Isaiah 49:6

At our baptism, the priest said to our parents and godparents:

Parents and godparents, this light is entrusted to you to be kept burning brightly. [Name] has been enlightened by Christ. He/she is to walk always as a child of the light. May he/she keep the flame of faith alive in his/ her heart

We are called to be a light; to show the way, to spread warmth and dispel darkness.

Who can you be a light for at home, in school, where you live or in the wider world?

Activity
