* 07:55 – Thought for today from Archbishop Lefebvre: “In Him was life, and the life was the light of men” (Jn. 1:4).
The life spoken of here is especially spiritual life. St. John affirms that all intellectual and spiritual life in us comes from the Word. It is like a continual communication of the light that is in God. This light is diffused and comes to us by the intermediary of the Word. It is this light which illuminates our minds. We would be incapable of the least intellectual conception, of formulating an idea or reasoning, without the light of the Word. All that our intellect studies, conceives or produces occurs under the illumination of the Word. It is a stupendous thing!
