“Lighthouses are here to help everyone. They are a symbol of hope, help and guidance.” That’s the opinion of Carol Livingston of the PEI Lighthouse society. She was summarizing the feelings of many Islanders. And Environment Minister Peter Kent says that the lighthouse preservation program of PEI has been very successful. It is believed that most if not all of the lighthouses will be saved. It is encouraging to learn that these beacons on our shores will continue to be part of our future as well as our past. And just as lighthouses dispel darkness and give guidance to those at sea, so Jesus, the Light of the world assures us that anyone who follows Him will not walk in darkness but will have the light of life. He gives hope, help and guidance. And best of all, that invitation is for everyone. Jesus’ words given in John’s gospel are clear- “ I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in Me should not walk in darkness.”
