Czech poet Ranier Maria Rilke was critical of what he called 'our church generation' for falsifying the source of true human wisdom. 'Your darkness that I come from, I love you more than all the fires that fence in the world, for the the fire makes a circle of light for everyone, and then no one outside learns of you.' However, the New Testament signals a more hopeful message: 'This is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and people loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil.' (John 3:19). Jesus said ‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life.' (John 8:12).
