Einstein Proven Wrong !

What I say to you in the darkness, speak in the light;

what you hear whispered, proclaim on the housetops.

Albert Einstein explored the wonders of God's universe by exploring the properties of light.  His "E=mc2" told us what the speed of light was and his further meditations proved to a reasonable degree of certainty that nothing could exceed the speed that light travels at.  Of course, we know that he was, while not actually wrong, just not one hundred percent right. Why do I, a man with an IQ of about 120 claim that Albert, who never took an IQ test but whose IQ was estimated to be somewhere between 160 and 180 was wrong?  Well, it is simple. Remove the light and what immediately takes its place? Why darkness does! So, all of his calculations, to my way of thinking, are based on the wrong phenomenon.  I say that what he applies to light can be equally applied to the darkness. So, put that in your pipe and smoke it, Albert!

The Gospel reading proclaimed at Mass today tells us that what we hear in the dark, we should proclaim in the light.  We cannot hear about the love of God for us and keep it hidden as a treasure belonging only to ourselves. Once we have the light of Christ in our hearts and in our souls we must enlighten the darkness of the world.  Yes, this will be inconvenient for us because nothing could be simpler than to just take the perfect joy of the knowledge of what God did for us and how He feels about us and for us to keep close to the vest and hidden away from view. To share the Light of Christ with the world will not make us popular because in doing so we are interfering with other people's freedom to choose darkness.  It is our duty to show others that there is another way.  Once a person has been touched by the bright light of Christ, they can no longer, try as they might pretend that the darkness is a good to be in and certainly not a place to live in. 

Albert Einstein was a brilliant man. He fell short in one respect.  He believed in a supreme power,  but not in a God that takes personal care of His people. So I guess that even a man with a huge IQ can be wrong. So, what you hear in the dark, proclaim in the light this week. Jesus is the light of the world. Share Him and let His light shine through you.
