Gospel: Luke 8:16-18
Jesus said to the crowd: “No one who lights a lamp conceals it with a
vessel or sets it under a bed; rather, he places it on a lampstand so that
those who enter may see the light. For there is nothing hidden that will not
become visible, and nothing secret that will not be known and come to light.
Take care, then, how you hear. To anyone who has, more will be given, and from
the one who has not, even what he seems to have will be taken away.”

Reflection:
Do you sometimes put a facade of who you truly are or do you sometimes
live a double life?
We cannot hide our real identity no matter how hard we try to hide it for
there will eventually come a time that we shall be unmasked. For example, we
pretend that we are good but deep inside we are not, etc.
Our pretension will work to a certain extent we may even fool our
fellowmen with our pretensions. However, there shall come a time that we will
be unmasked no matter how hard we try to conceal our true identity. And this
unmasking will truly expose us as to who we really are.
In the gospel Jesus tells us: There is nothing hidden that will not
become visible, and nothing secret that will not be known and come to light.
Indeed no secret is kept secret forever and every facade that we put forward
will eventually be exposed.
No secret last forever most especially dark and hideous secrets,
therefore it’s better to live an upright and moral life. If we have dark
secrets let us walk away from it. And after that let us move forward to live a
new life worthy in the eyes of the Good Lord and men. – Marino J. Dasmarinas
