St Emily.
Priestly and royal people!

The Apostle Peter reminds us of who we are, truly a Priestly, royal, and holy nation because of the power of the Gospel. We have been baptized, then redeemed by his blood. As children of the light, our conduct should match our identity - Always living closer to Christ and giving God honor by our way of life in the world. Such a witness becomes possible in some conditions:
1) Like Barthimeo, we must acknowledge our blindness and confidently cry for Christ's healing.
2) Being steadfast in the faith despite all oppositions. Yes, Christ is our light. If we follow Him, we walk not in darkness anymore (John 8:12)
