"It shines everywhere, though not to all. In a word, it shineth in darkness, and the darkness comprehends it not. The light sees the darkness, for with it seeing and shining are the same thing; but it is not in turn seen by the darkness, because the darkness comprehends it not.
St. Bernard: On Consideration.
St. Bernard says, "though not to all." But this maybe should be understood against the background of St. John's gospel 1:9.
