So
do not become their partners,
for you were once darkness
but now are light
in the Lord.
‘Walk’ as children of the light.
For the fruit of light
(is) in
all
goodness
and righteousness
and truth,
by discerning
what is pleasing to the Lord.
And do not take part in the useless works
(that come from) darkness
but rather expose them.
For to speak of the things done
by them
in secret
is shameful.
But all things illumined
by the light
are made visible.
For everything being revealed
is light
therefore it says:
‘Get up, O sleeper!
And rise from the dead ones,
and Christ will shine on you.’

Thank you, dear Jesus,
for all you have given me,
for all you have taken away from me,
for all you have left me.

Thomas More (c.1478-1535)
