Reflecting on Isaiah’s vision (60:1-6), Pope Francis said the prophet’s description of his time is more relevant than ever:
“darkness covers the earth, and thick darkness the peoples.”
In such obscurity, the prophet Isaiah announced the coming of “the light given by God to Jerusalem and destined to shine on the path of all the peoples.”
The Pope said this attractive vision invites hope, and reminds us that God’s light overcomes all shadow of darkness.
