Sunday Reflections

Fr Yesu Karunanidhi

Shine before others

Fifth Sunday in OT - Cycle - A - 8 February 2026

Isaiah 58:7-10. 1 Corinthians 2:1-5. Matthew 5:13-16

A blind man was once seen walking at night, carrying a lighted lamp. Someone asked him mockingly, “You are blind. Why do you carry a lamp?” He replied calmly, “This lamp is not to show the way for me, but so that others may see me and not dash against me.” He could not benefit from the light himself, yet the light protected both him and others.
