Bright Stars

[Fr. Jos Tharakan +]

Do all that has to be done without complaining or arguing and then you will
be innocent and genuine, perfect children of God among a deceitful and
underhand brood and you will shine in the world like bright stars because
you are offering it the word of life. Phil 2:15

People wonder at stars. They look at stars all the time. No one understands
the mystery of stars. It is absolutely fascinating to look at stars every
night and if we can we might do so during the day. If we look for them we
can see them.

Bright stars are always in our midst, here on earth sometimes and not up in
the sky. Who are they or what are they? They are those who do what they are
supposed to do in life without a whole of noise around them. People who care
for others, love others, forgive others, and those who do the small things
for the sake of others. Word of Life is simple and incarnate. It is real,
here and now through me and you.
