Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time - February 8, 2026
Light binds together today's scripture readings. Isaiah preaches that when we share what we have with those in need, light will drive out the dark. In the psalm we sing that the one who acts with justice is a light in the darkness. Paul tells the Corinthians that the power of the Holy Spirit has enlightened their faith. In the Gospel, Jesus instructs his disciples to let their light shine, so the world can see the good that they do. As we listen to the words of scripture, let us appreciate the metaphor of light in expressing what God asks us to do.
