To those who are celebrating Diwali, I wish you a very happy Diwali. Jesus calls us where we are. This involves a mixture of insight and blindness for most of us. God’s gift of faith to us to see the world with a new vision. If we presume we can see fully and that we can grasp the whole truth, at that point we run into trouble as disciples. Being a disciple essentially includes a sense of emptiness that can only be filled by the Lord. Otherwise, when He calls us, we feel no need to respond or change our ways. Friends, we need good teachers such as Jesus Himself, who can lead us through our varied doors of perception into hearing, seeing and touching the truth that is Jesus. In doing so, we become true disciples who in our turn can tackle the difficult task of opening up the road to others.
