You (plural) are the light of the world. “Me? I’m no light? I’m stumbling around in the darkness!” We may feel that way, but the Holy Spirit has called us into the body of Christ, who is the light of the world. Alone, we will be easily deceived and possibly deceive others; together, by the Holy Spirit, the Law will correct us and the Gospel will forgive and motivate us!
