NEW: Bishop Olmsted encourages us to seek the light of Christ
There are times in our lives when we encounter darkness. It may feel as though it surrounds us and is impossible to overcome. I remember a time when I was working in Rome, and I received word that my Grandfather had died. I was particularly close with him and was overwhelmed with grief. I felt so alone, so I went to the Adoration Chapel for more than an hour, and I just wept. During that time, an amazing consolation and light came to me. The light of Christ comes into our darkness. When we invite Him in and recognize His presence with us, Jesus will lift us out of the darkness. This is what I experienced, and I am sure many of you have experienced it too. Jesus is indeed the light of the world.
