You are the light of the world! Would you please reread that statement but in the 1st person: I am the light of the world. I didn’t make that up! That is what Jesus said. It’s true, you are one with a Divine Cosmic Energy that even scientists refer to as Unconditional Love and the Light of the Cosmos. It is this Energy that created and sustains you every minute of your life! Take a moment to pay attention to your breathing. Just pay attention when you breathe in and when you breathe out. You don’t see the breath, most of the time you don’t pay attention to your breath but it’s always there, invisible, immaterial, and with power to sustain life. You can pay attention to the breath and even feel its presence, but whether you do or not it continues to function and is essential to your human existence.
The Hebrews in the Old Testament compared God’s Presence to the breath (in Hebrew “Ruach”). The Jewish Community used this same word for God or Spirit. Think about this comparison. Your breath is close to you, one with you. But God’s Presence is closer to you than the breath– you are ONE with God. The essence of who you are is Unconditional Love! And God is Love!
When you come to know the truth of the above, you will also come to know that you have at your disposal, unlimited Divine Cosmic Energy AND you can give direction to that Divine Energy! For example, when you direct thoughts of health to yourself or to another person, you actually begin a healing process. When you hold in your mind, what it is that you want to be in the future, you are actually beginning to create that reality. You and God are ONE. Therefore you are a co-creator. This is what Jesus said: “Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do…” Jn. 14-12
What we do here at the Hermitage is to help all persons who are interested, to develop the skills that are already present in their persons, to clarify goals for their future lives, to find solutions for problems in their lives, to come in touch with everything that is good, true and beautiful and to manifest the loving, peaceful and compassionate world we all want. Connect with the Divine within you daily in meditation. You are the Light of the World and Love makes the difference.
May these few reflections motivate you to connect to your inner self so that you will come to realize what a powerful, spiritual being you are and that you will direct the power of your Love everywhere you are!
Thank you for being a part of my life and the mission of the Hermitage.
In the love of God and St. Francis,
Justin

You Are the Light by: Fr. Justin
You are the Light of the world
So says Jesus Christ.
You are Cosmic Energy
To be sacrificed!
Light is caught in diamond stones
Crystals do the same.
Look into another’s eyes
You will see the flame
Let your sparkle shine like stars
Everywhere you go
Letting go of self and stuff
That’s the way you grow!
Mirrors give a shallow view
Of whom you really are!
Look inside and you will see
Your body’s just a jar.
Keep it clean with loving thoughts
So light and love can glow
You can light the way through life
No matter where you go
Some may say there is no light
World is just too bleak.
That’s not true you know
Life is what you seek!
You are one with God, it’s true!
You and God create!
Shift your mind to all that’s true
Open Heaven’s Gate.
Light shines through to everyone
Let your brightness shine!
You and me and God as One
We’re the cosmic sign!

Dear Friends of the Hermitage:
As you well know we have an international ministry but work on a “shoestring”. I am full-time but without a salary. LuLu works full time but takes payment for only 25 hours a week and Brian, our IT, can come in only for short periods of time twice a week. We support the Hermitage by renting offices, presenting programs (produced by the Hermitage as well as others). This Newsletter is a major expense as is the upkeep of the building and grounds. – Our Volunteers are our lifeline as well as people like yourself who help with contributions large and small. – We would appreciate if you could help us out financially with a contribution of any kind. Of course all your gifts are tax deductible. Thank you all and God bless!
Love and appreciation,
