But here on earth, while the troubles of the Church last, Christ is the light shining in the darkness. Night is not ended, but hangs over us, heavy, somber and full of lurking dangers. But one thing Christ does---and this is His supreme claim when He says that he is the Light of the world---He makes possible every holy venture and activity by the help of His gracious light. Wherever you go, whatever you do in this world, you can walk and work by the light that is Christ. We are sure of our road, even though it be not broad daylight; if He is our guide we have always sufficient light for our journey. ~ from Christianus:The Christian Life, by Abbot Vonier
