Our will must be strong and disciplined we must avoid temptation, repent, and believe. The Spirit is within us, but we must listen to Him and use our other gifts to follow His will. As Christians, we are endowed by the Holy Spirit at Baptism and Confirmation. Like every power, it is up to the wearer to use his abilities as a source for good. Lanterns get their power by combining their Power Ring with the strength of their will, thus having the ability to do ANYTHING! Willpower is defined as“the faculty by which a person decides on and initiates action.” The Lantern’s will gives him the power to do incredible things with his ring.Okay, but what if I don’t just want to be like a lantern? I want to be a Lantern! As in, a Green Lantern! As in, the Ring chooses the wearer!Ĭongratulations Christians in Amanda’s world! We are all Green Lanterns! Here are six reasons we are like my favorite outerspace heroes: Since we are Temples of the Holy Spirit, we are like a lantern bringing Christ’s light to others. Lanterns are handy in bringing light to darkness, the Holy Spirit is handy in bringing Christ’s love to places where there is sin. The analogy is simple in the fact that “we are the light of the world” (cue the Sunday school kids) and we are like lanterns! Now that you have a brief history of awesomeness in your brain, let me tell you a little theory: Christians are Lanterns. Basically, the Ring is “the most powerful weapon in the universe…The Power Ring’s most distinctive effect is the generation of green, solid-light constructs… The size, complexity, and strength of these constructs is limited only by the ring-bearer’s willpower whatever the wearer imagines, the ring will create.” [ Each Green Lantern is given a power ring, a weapon granting the use of incredible abilities that are directed by the wearer’s own willpower.” [So it’s an assembly of alien heroes working together with magic rings. According to DC continuity, the Green Lantern Corps has been in existence for three billion years…There are 3600 members, one lantern for every sector (known commonly as Green Lanterns), estimated to be serving within the Corps. The Green Lantern Corps is the name of a fictional intergalactic military/police force… They patrol the farthest reaches of the DC Universe at the behest of the Guardians, a race of immortals residing on the planet Oa. I’ll give you a little info on what the Corps is and we’ll go from there. Would you love to know? Wonderful! Let’s start with a brief over view. I have now made it my solemn duty to enlighten the Captain America-shield-bearing fans about the awesome Ring of Will. I’ve loved the idea of the Green Lanterns ever since I learned their story. Some of the 3600 Green Lanterns (the blue guys are the Guardians) So I can talk my little heart out about Ironman and Batman, but some of my other Supers are left in the dust. But I’ve been realizing a flaw in that habit: the majority of people I meet only know the film characters and stories. With the big hero craze that some are calling “The Comic Film Golden Age,” I have eaten up every moment of discussing my favorite heroes with many random people.
