REFLECTION FOR YOUNG PEOPLE – by Lisa-Marie Calderone-Stewart
Many colleges and universities use the symbol of the burning oil lamp on their crest to represent knowledge. Why do you think that is a natural symbol? What do light and knowledge have in common? How is Jesus like a lamp? What might the oil – the fuel used for light – represent?
What do you think the world needs more of – people willing to learn, or people willing to change things? Is it harder to learn, gain knowledge, and propose solutions, or is it harder to do the work, take action, and create change? Can you do one without doing the other? Why or why not? Where might you fit in?
