Is it a radiant light that is placed within us by God and then emanates out into the world...? Is it a superpower charge that metaphorically bulks us up to choose good and avoid evil...? It is "God's own life" poured into us so that we may experience the beatitude He has for us, not just in Heaven one day but even now. This podcast is powered by Pinecast.
