26. We now listen to the Word of God.
A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew.
You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be
hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl.
Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in
the house.
In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may
see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
The Gospel of the Lord.
Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

27. Has your light shined today?
