"One of my favorite verses about the Word of God comes from Psalm 119: 'Your word, O Lord, is a lamp for my steps and a light for my path.' The Word of God as a lamp to light our path - it's a very useful image for us, isn't it?
"I wonder - have you ever found yourself in absolute, total darkness, perhaps after a storm when the power's out, or while exploring a cave, or in a forest at night? Can be a pretty scary experience, right?
"Sometimes it seems that our world is in moral darkness too, filled with so much sin, division, anger and confusion. . . ."
In a recent commentary, Bishop Thomas J. Tobin, of the Diocese of Providence
(RI), reflected on how the Word of God provides light for us amidst the turmoil in the world.
