The Truth and Exile

Uncategorized 1 Minute

Do you agree that it is wrong for someone who is telling the truth to be arrested and sent into exile ?

This is what happened to Anaxagoras, the Greek Philosopher who announced, 2,500 years ago, that the moon had no light of its own, but reflected the light of the sun. People, up until then, had believed that the moon was a god.

It had been cloudy here for a few days, and I thought that I wouldn’t see this month’s full moon over the ocean. However, last night the clouds disappeared for awhile, and there it was, the last full moon of the decade !

Just as the moon reflects the light of the sun, so Christians also reflect the light of “the Son”, Jesus.

Let us pray for the grace to continue to reflect his love to a hurting world.
