So why does Batman only come out at night? Because that’s when the criminals come out. You merely adopted the dark. I was born in it. Criminals prefer working in the darkness rather than the light. And so in the gospel for this Sunday, Jesus says, “The light came into the world, “but people prefer darkness to the light.” The reality is that we are all criminals. We love to keep things hidden in the dark, away from God, the things that cause us the most shame. Sin, temptation, struggles. We love to keep things in the darkness.
Top secret secrets inside. But Jesus Christ, he wants to free us from those things. When we allow the Lord to shine his light upon the darkness of our hearts, we’re free. There is no dark too dark for Jesus Christ. This Sunday, permit Jesus to shine his light on the darkest parts of your heart; then, as Jesus promised, we will be free.

Truly, Interiorly, Fulfilled
So, when I was a senior in college, I got offered a job with the FBI. And I remember when that moment happened, I felt interiorly so empty, which is crazy because here’s what the world is saying.
