Days 137-138 In Whom The Light Lives

The Light Blesses You

Blessed are you
who bear the light
in unbearable times,
who testify
to its endurance
amid the unendurable,
who bear witness
to its persistence
when everything seems
in shadow
and grief.

Blessed are you
in whom
the light lives,
in whom
the brightness blazes—
your heart
a chapel,
an altar where
in the deepest night
can be seen
the fire that
shines forth in you
in unaccountable faith,
in stubborn hope,
in love that illumines
every broken thing
it finds.

    What a gift Liz and Jan. Thank you. My heart goes out to one and all, especially those of you in the USA as you live through the tragedy of Covid 19. May our Light shine ever more brightly in hope, trust and love as we breathe in God’s life each moment.
