' God Is Light '...

“We do not speak of things of which we are ignorant, but we bear witness to that which we know.

For the light already shines in the darkness in the night and in the day, in our hearts and minds.

This light is without change, without decline and never extinguished, enlightens us; it speaks, it acts, it lives and gives life, it transforms into light those whom it illumines.

God is Light and those who receive Him, receive Him as Light.”
