FAITHLINK: “Blessed Guerric of Igny: 2nd Sermon for the Epiphany”

“‘Arise, be enlightened, Jerusalem, for your Light has come.’ The Light indeed had come; He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, but the world did not know Him. He was born but He was not known, until this Day of Light began to manifest Him… . ‘Arise, you who sit in darkness; look at the light which has risen up in the darkness but is not mastered by the darkness. Draw near to Him and be enlightened, in His light you shall see the light; and it will be said to you: ‘You were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord.’ Look upon the Eternal Light which has tempered itself to your gaze, so that He who dwells in inaccessible light affords access even to weak and bleary eyes. …”
