God's wrath? I don't think so.
God's grief, more like.

About seeing in the light
You don't light a candle to see the candle
but to see what the candle illuminates.
Walking into the sun, you see nothing.
With the sun behind you, you see all before you.
Jesus came into the world as a candle, to shine a light into all the crevices of doubt and despair from which we suffer, to open up the hidden spaces of loss and loneliness so that we may feel his presence.
Jesus is the light towards which we travel, knowing that he will always be there to guide us a beacon, lighting our path on the journey of life.
With Jesus as the light behind us, we are able to see the world before us as God's gift and travel in hope and courage, knowing that we will always be helped to face all that befalls us.
