We bully because we are cowards. Faith casts out fear just as light casts out darkness. God has shone His light into our world. It is stronger than darkness.   That light is Jesus Christ.”                               ~ Peter Kreeft from his book Catholic Christianity On this  SPIRITUAL WORKOUT WEDNESDAY , reflect on Jesus, the light of the world.
