Light (אוֹר ’ôr)

O house of Jacob, let us approach and walk in the light of the Lord. (Is 2:5)

בֵּ֖ית יַעֲקֹ֑ב לְכ֥וּ וְנֵלְכָ֖ה בְּאֹ֥ור יְהוָֽה׃

Domus Iacob venite, et ambulemus in lumine Domini.

God’s first work in the act of creation was light. It often accompanies the revelation of the Creator. Today, the prophet Isaiah points to this light that allows us to embark on a spiritual journey toward life and freedom. The road leads upwards. Our daily paths can become paths of peace that lead to meeting our brothers and sisters. Let us walk in the light towards the Light without sunset.
