As I sit and have my cup of coffee with Jesus, I was thinking, again, about the STAR that the Shepards followed.  I thought of the immensity and greatness of God compared to the “thick and dreadful darkness” that some people experience.  If you know that “dreadful darkness,” you know what I’m talking about.  It is that separation from all that makes us feel that way.  I am reminded of how great God is that when we reach beyond our own thoughts, we can connect with the universe out there and TO THE CREATOR! 

There were all kinds of problems during Jesus’s time, some political and economic; there was sickness and death, and to this JESUS came to bring the promises and the LIGHT of God.  Only a couple days left to welcome the newborn King, the ONE who can take us out of that “thick and dreadful darkness” and bring us to light!  Turn to the light, welcome the light, live in the light!  Have a blessed day!

Buon Giorno Monsignor, “Thick and dreadful darkness,” can mean so many things, it could be a deep severe depression due to a plethora of reasons. This is one I can relate to, the “thick and dreadful darkness” grabs ahold of you and won’t let go. It consumes your thoughts your feelings and your hopes. You feel as there is no future, it’s horrific, you’ll do anything to escape the hold. Another “thick and dreadful darkness,” could be death and/or grief, loss of a job, a relationship or your health. The only way to eliminate the darkness is by following our bright white light, our King will be born in a few days, emitting our gift, our guide, our path, lit by the most beautiful brightest white light. “Turn to the light, welcome the light, live in the light!” Thank you Monsignor for your incredible gifts embedded in your daily messages! You are part of HIS bright light, eliminating the “thick and dreadful!” Blessings Dr. Chipres
