bio updated April 2024
I agree with you wholeheartedly that Jesus Christ came into this world to enlighten all men with bringing His light into a world to overcome the darkness that has always existed here. St. John the Evangelist makes this astonishing truth at the beginning of his gospel. I would further add something the renowned saints like St. Teresa of Avala and St. John of The Cross knew: the darkness here is diminished when more Christians are actively bringing the light of Jesus Christ into this world through a relationship with Him. When Christianity diminishes, the darkness of evil escalates as we have witnessed in America in the last 50 years.
