And this is the verdict, that the light came into the world, but people preferred darkness to light, because their works were evil. For every-one who does wicked things hates the light and does not come toward the light, so that his works might not be exposed. - Jn 3:19-20

Family Perspective Today’s gospel speaks of light and darkness. There are times when darkness can seem com-forting when it makes no demands on us. Light disturbs when it forces us to squint, refocus and take action regard-ing what we see. In lights we see others clearly as they are. In families, the challenge is always to live in the light — not in avoidance or denial.
