Come out of the darkness

We are called to be captives set free:
"Come and lead forth from his prison, the captive sitting in darkness, in the shadow of death" (Traditional O Antiphon)

We must follow him, Our Lord, out of this culture of death, into His culture. We can hold ourselves back, pinning for the things of this world, and the things that we think will satisfy. But this will only prolong the misery and captivity.Get up and go. Don't sit there in darkness.

We have to look at Him, follow Him and trust Him. Don't be afraid to give Him your all. He will never let you down. Reflect back on your life. Has He ever let you down? Then why do you fear now, that he could let you down? He can't. It is not in His nature. He comes to lead you out. You must look at Him, and follow Him. You must muster up all the trust that you can, and go forward out of the darkness into His light.
